Solution: Homeowner uploads their HVAC maintenance contract or proposed plan. The tool: (1) Extracts and clearly lists what's actually included vs. excluded; (2) Compares to typical pay-per-service costs in their zip code for the same services; (3) Calculates breakeven — how many service calls would be needed for the plan to pay off; (4) Flags red flags — 'sales monitoring software' indicators (ServiceTitan-style platforms that incentivize techs to push upsells), vague language, automatic renewal clauses, cancellation fees; (5) Recommends: sign it as-is, negotiate specific changes, or skip it entirely; (6) Includes a database of maintenance plans from major brands with community ratings. ICP: Homeowners aged 30–70 who get pitched annual HVAC maintenance plans during a service call. The plan promises 2 'tune-up' visits per year, priority service, and discounted repairs. The reality: tune-ups are vehicles for upselling unnecessary repairs, 'priority service' is meaningless in non-peak season, and 'discounted repairs' are off inflated baseline prices. The 44-upvote post on r/hvacadvice from an 11-year HVAC tech explicitly warns about this pattern.

HVAC-specific contract analysis with the insider knowledge of what tune-up upsells actually look like. The 'sales monitoring software detector' flags companies using ServiceTitan-style platforms that gamify upsells — a structural red flag most consumers don't know to look for. The zip-code-specific pay-per-service comparison gives actionable breakeven math.

“Similar to how DoNotPay (before its FTC issues) and Wonder.legal made contract analysis accessible to consumers for tenancy disputes — taking specialist expertise and democratizing it through software. This is the same play for HVAC maintenance plans.”
