LEBANON, Ohio — Contractor Commerce launched an automated energy rebate integration within its Instant Estimate tool, enabling HVAC contractors to present rebate-adjusted pricing to homeowners in real time.
The new functionality identifies eligible federal, state, and local utility incentives and applies them directly during the online estimate process. This allows homeowners to see projected savings and out-of-pocket costs before engaging with a contractor.
According to Contractor Commerce, embedding rebate data into the estimate process improves pricing transparency and simplifies the customer decision-making journey. Contractors can provide savings-inclusive estimates earlier in the sales cycle, helping reduce questions about affordability and minimizing friction.
“By automatically calculating eligible incentives within the estimate, we’re giving homeowners clarity on what they’ll actually pay,” said Paul Redman, president of Contractor Commerce, in a statement.
The company said the feature also removes the need for contractors to manually track changing rebate programs. Instead, the platform automates the process, allowing contractors to focus on sales and customer engagement.
The rebate integration launch follows additional growth for Contractor Commerce, including certification in the ServiceTitan App Marketplace. The company said the update supports contractors as demand increases for energy-efficient HVAC upgrades and incentive-driven purchasing decisions.
