Paste or upload the estimate. The free scan lists the sections it found, the sections that look missing or unclear, and a question list you can send to the contractor. It does not tell you whether a price is fair, because that is not something a document review can answer.

Frequently asked

Which one matters more?

For most equipment, labor. Parts are often covered for years while labor is covered for one, and labor is the expensive half of a repair.

Who registers the manufacturer warranty?

Sometimes the installer, sometimes you. If nobody does it, coverage can default to a shorter term.
