Lake-effect summers in Northeast Ohio can surprise homeowners with bursts of 95-degree humidity. When the living room suddenly feels like a sauna, your first question is simple: “How much will it cost to fix or replace my AC?” CountBricks answers that question in minutes. Using our AI-powered, real-time voice platform, Cleveland residents receive accurate material takeoffs, labor schedules and professional quote documents while the technician is still on-site.
• Cleveland’s housing stock is older than the national average. Unexpected ductwork quirks and limited electrical capacity can change costs fast.
• Homeowners are comparison-shopping more than ever. A detailed, transparent quote builds trust and wins the job.
• Supply prices for condensers, copper line-sets and R-410A refrigerant fluctuate weekly. Real-time data keeps margins safe.
1. Voice Capture: Speak repair notes or installation specs into the CountBricks mobile app. “Three-ton 16-SEER unit, 40 feet of line-set, new pad and disconnect.”
2. AI Parsing: Our engine matches your words to CSI codes and local Cleveland material databases.
3. Automatic Takeoff: Square footage, tonnage and supply counts populate instantly.
4. Localized Costing: CountBricks pulls real-time supplier pricing from Northeast Ohio distributors, factoring zip-code labor burdens.
5. Ready-to-Send Proposal: A branded PDF with scope, timeline, payment schedule and warranty language is delivered to the homeowner’s inbox before you leave the driveway.
Common Repairs
• Capacitor or contactor swap – typically under $300
• Refrigerant recharge – varies with leak size; CountBricks tracks price per pound daily
• Blower motor replacement – $450–$750 depending on model and attic accessibility
Full Replacement
• 2.5-ton single-stage system in a 1,600 sq ft bungalow – $4,800–$6,200 complete
• High-efficiency variable-speed upgrade – up to 30 % energy savings and a FirstEnergy rebate; CountBricks automatically applies local incentives
Residential AC projects must meet the Ohio Residential Code and municipal permitting. CountBricks embeds permit fees and inspection timelines into your estimate so there are no surprises. Our blueprint takeoff tool even flags required electrical upgrades, preventing costly change orders.
• Faster Close Rates: Contractors using CountBricks report winning 22 % more AC jobs because quotes reach inboxes before competitors finish handwriting theirs.
• Reduced Overruns: Real-time materials data shrinks pricing errors, cutting average overrun from 9 % to 2 %.
• Seamless Invoicing: Once the homeowner says yes, the same project file converts to progressive invoices with one tap.
• Perform a Manual J load calc rather than relying solely on existing unit size. Oversized systems short-cycle and waste energy.
• Check attic insulation levels. Adding R-38 can let you drop a half-ton and save the client money.
• Offer smart thermostats. Many Cleveland utilities provide instant rebates that CountBricks auto-adds to the proposal.
• Schedule installs before the July rush to avoid supplier backorders.
• Use CountBricks.com/portfolio to showcase completed Shaker Heights and Lakewood projects during sales calls.
CountBricks doesn’t stop at numbers. Our platform tracks tasks, syncs with field management apps and stores inspection photos. Homeowners can log in to view schedule milestones and sign change orders digitally, keeping every stakeholder aligned.

The homeowner’s 20-year-old 2-ton unit quit during a July heatwave. Using CountBricks on-site, the contractor spoke a quick scope: “Replace with 14-SEER 2.5-ton, new line-set, code-compliant disconnect, city permit, smart thermostat.” In 4 minutes the app produced:
• Material list: condenser, coil, 50’ copper, whip, pad, thermostat
• Labor hours: 12, crew of two
• Permit fee: auto-populated $180
• FirstEnergy $200 rebate applied
The homeowner approved the $5,950 quote on the spot. Because the contractor sourced pricing through CountBricks’ live distributor feed, he avoided a next-day copper surge that would have eaten 6 % of profit.
