How it works

From plans to permit in five steps.

You upload, we calculate, you download. Step 6 is optional.

  1. Sign up and sign the agreement

    Create your account and sign Loadpol Unlimited online – about 5 minutes. $250 a month, 12-month agreement. Want to try first? Your first house is free, no agreement needed.

    You
    Create the account, sign online (or try one house free).
    We
    Open your account for unlimited houses.
  2. Create a project per house

    Upload the plan set (PDF, DWG/DXF or images) – or, for an existing home, a LiDAR scan from an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro (apps such as Polycam or magicplan) – and fill in the key data. Tick the documents you need (J, S, D, duct layout and ventilation are preset; AHRI, REScheck, ENERGY STAR on request) and, if it is urgent, Rush 24h. For a quick equipment-replacement estimate, the address, a listing link and photos are enough (whole-house block load, not room by room).

    You
    Address/ZIP, conditioned area, stories, foundation, orientation, windows, insulation, duct location, planned system. What we need
    We
    Keep your plans on file for repeat lots.
  3. We check the documents

    You
    Answer questions in the project, add files.
    We

  4. We calculate Manual J, S and D

    You
    Nothing – no software, no data entry.
    We
    Enter every room, wall and window, run J, S and D and prepare every selected document.
  5. Download the permit-ready PDF

    You get an email and download the report from your account – typically 2–3 business days after complete documents. If plan review comments on our report, we revise it free.

    You
    Submit the PDF with your permit application.

    Add prices, send the proposal link.
    We
    Prefill the proposal from the Manual J results.

The full process

Existing homes

No floor plans? Scan the house with your iPhone or iPad.

For existing buildings – equipment replacement, additions, renovations, finished homes – a LiDAR room scan replaces the plans. New homes that are not built yet still need plans.

  1. Scan every room with a LiDAR room-scan app on an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro (apps such as Polycam or magicplan).
  2. Export the scan and upload it to the project in your account.
  3. Enter windows, doors and insulation as far as you know them.

We draw the model from the scan and calculate Manual J, S and D as usual.

Tip: photos of the windows and of the equipment nameplate help. App names are examples only; we have no partnership with them.

Accepted scan files

USDZ, OBJ (+MTL), PLY, E57, LAS, GLB/GLTF, FBX, RVT – or a ZIP of the export. Plans as PDF, DWG, DXF or photos.

Why Manual J

Square feet per ton is not a calculation.

Two houses with the same floor area can need very different equipment. Windows, orientation, insulation, air leakage, duct location and climate change the load. Codes require ACCA Manual J and Manual S because rules of thumb usually oversize.

Start Unlimited

Oversized equipment short-cyclesMore wear, more noise, worse humidity control and a higher price for the unit.
Undersized equipment falls behindRooms cannot hold temperature on the hottest and coldest days, and callbacks follow.
Plan review wants the reportIRC M1401.3 and IECC R403.7 require Manual S sizing based on Manual J loads.
Built for the trade

For builders and HVAC contractors.

We work as your back office for load calculations: you build and install, we deliver the numbers and the paperwork.

What we need

Upload the plan set. We do the rest.

  • Floor plans of every level with dimensions
  • Elevations or the direction the front door faces
  • Window and door schedule (sizes, U-factor, SHGC)
  • Insulation levels: walls, ceiling/attic, floor, slab or basement
  • Ceiling heights and any vaulted areas
  • Duct location (attic, crawlspace, conditioned space)
  • Planned equipment type: heat pump, AC + furnace, mini-split
  • Air leakage target if known (ACH50)

Existing house without plans? A LiDAR scan from an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro works too. Missing something? We tell you before we start and use code minimums only if you confirm.

Loadpol Unlimited · $250/month

For builders, developers and HVAC contractors. Unlimited houses with Manual J, S and D for $250 a month, 12-month agreement.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does a Manual J cost?

Loadpol Unlimited is $250 a month for unlimited houses, each with Manual J, Manual S and Manual D, calculated by our team. 12-month agreement, then month to month. No per-house fees.

What documents are included?

Everything the building department needs for the HVAC side, for every house: Manual J, Manual S, Manual D, an HVAC duct layout drawing, the ASHRAE 62.2 whole-house ventilation rate, an AHRI Directory certificate (public lookup) for the matched system, a REScheck compliance report for new homes and additions where REScheck is accepted (not available in FL and CA) and the ENERGY STAR HVAC Design Report filled in from our Manual J, S and D. All included in the $250 a month, plus free plan-review revisions.

Is there a rush option?

Yes: Rush 24h for $49 per house. We deliver within 24 hours on business days after we confirm your documents are complete. If we miss the deadline, the Rush fee is dropped. It is billed with your next monthly invoice; available with Loadpol Unlimited, not for the free trial house.

Do you take single orders?

No. We only offer Loadpol Unlimited, the $250-a-month subscription for builders, developers and HVAC contractors. That keeps one simple price and your plans on file. To try us, your first house is free.

Can we try it first?

Yes – your first house is on us. Create an account and submit one project without an agreement or credit card; you get the same Manual J, S and D reports. From the second house on, Loadpol Unlimited applies. One free house per company, email domain and address.

Can the reports carry our logo?

Yes. Add your logo and company details (name, address, license, phone, email) in your account settings. We put them in the report header and on a cover page; the reports still state that Loadpol prepared them in ACCA-approved software.

Can you work from a Zillow or Redfin listing?

For an equipment replacement in an existing home, yes – as a quick block-load estimate: send the address, the listing link and photos (windows, equipment nameplate, attic). That is a whole-house estimate, not a room-by-room Manual J; permits that require room-by-room loads need plans or a LiDAR scan. The link is only a reference for our team – we do not copy data from listing sites.

Does it work with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro?

There is no native connection. You can export customers and jobs as CSV in the column layout of their import templates (some mapping may be needed), use our REST API with your personal key, and receive webhooks when reports are ready, proposals are accepted or invoices are paid. Loadpol is not affiliated with ServiceTitan or Housecall Pro.

How fast do I get the report?

Typically 2–3 business days after we receive complete plans and specs.

Will the building department accept it?

Reports follow ACCA Manual J 8th Edition, Manual S and Manual D and are prepared in ACCA-approved software (Wrightsoft Right-J8 and Right-D are on ACCA’s approved software list) from the plans you send. Acceptance is up to your building department; if plan review asks for corrections to our report, we revise it at no charge.

Is it really unlimited?

Yes. Every house you upload is included, with no per-house fee and no monthly cap. A house is one building with one floor plan at one address; if the building changes, the new calculation is included as well.

No floor plans? Can I scan the house with my iPhone or iPad?

Yes, for existing buildings (replacements, additions, renovations, finished homes): scan every room with a LiDAR room-scan app on an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro, for example apps such as Polycam or magicplan, upload the export and enter windows and insulation as far as you know them. We draw the model and calculate as usual. New homes that are not built yet need plans.

What do I need to send?

Floor plans (or a LiDAR scan of an existing house), elevations or orientation, the window and door schedule, insulation levels, duct location and the equipment you plan to install.

Are reports engineer-stamped?

Standard reports are not PE-stamped. If your jurisdiction requires a stamp, tell us before you upload.

Is there a CRM?

Yes. Loadpol Unlimited includes a simple CRM in your account: customers with properties, notes and follow-ups, Good / Better / Best proposals with an energy-savings chart and online e-signature, and invoices with deposit and payment tracking. Proposals can be prefilled from the Manual J results of a Loadpol project. There is no online payment and no automatic sales-tax calculation; you enter your own rates.
