If there’s a need, want, or interest in any way in something, there’s likely an app designed for it. That not only applies to one’s personal interests, but for work as well. There are many apps available to make HVACR work simpler, and more efficient; including the EzyZone: System Design App, which claimed the gold in the 2013 DDA Contractor Service & Software category.
EzyZone is an app for Android and iPad tablets designed to help contractors design, quote, and order a zoning system while they are on the job site. Based on data regarding the layout and equipment input by the contractor, the EzyZone generates a bill of materials along with estimated labor time to calculate and produce a suggested quote for the homeowner customer. EzyZone also generates a comfort plan detailing where thermostats will be located and how many zones are needed, which can be emailed to the homeowner for consideration, allowing the contractor and customer time to discuss and design a system that fits their comfort needs and usage patterns.
