Compare scope, assumptions and exclusions—not just the total price.

Frequently asked questions
Does WattCostLab supply a contractor price on this page?
No. Enter real quotes or local project estimates. The calculator is designed to make scope differences visible.
Should I size HVAC equipment from square footage alone?
No. Building load depends on climate, envelope, glazing, infiltration, internal gains and design conditions; use a proper load calculation for sizing.
Can Location change the energy tariff?
Where an official or configured country energy reference is available, the tool can load it as a starting point. You can overwrite it.
