Operating Costs & ROI
Get fast accurate annual operating cost and energy analysis to give you a competitive advantage by giving the homeowner a "big picture" cost analysis while in the home.
The load calculation parameters will be automatically pulled in from the Engineering screen or can be entered manually on the Systems screen. Compare up to 4 systems and utilize the new advanced filters screen to narrow-down their equipment and accessory options to recommend and give your customer the experience of shopping rather than "being sold."
Use this easy-to-use ROI tool to calculate payback analysis that compares annual utility savings, cost of repair as well local incentives and tax credits. Use our built-in equipment datasheets to help demonstrate comfort and value. Factoring in local utility rates, local incentives, tax credits, equipment cost and energy efficiencies, dealers can get a side by side analysis for up to 4 systems with costs and rates populated automatically.
All this information automatically populates a proposal—dealers have the option of choosing from four proposal templates for the homeowner (single system or Best / Better / Good formats with option to include accessories on each).
