autarc Pro vs Spruce Energy

Faster planning, more time for your trade business: autarc is the leading AI software for energy installers – from heat pump design and Solar PV planning to complete project management. Scan a room in 30 seconds with our app – radiators are detected automatically by AI. Heat loss calculations to MCS standards, emitter sizing, heat pump dimensioning and hydronic balancing are ready in around 15 minutes. Capture Solar PV systems by drone and photogrammetry directly on site. The automatic AI analysis then produces ready-to-use, MCS-compliant reports for both heat pumps and Solar PV. Our customers consistently report saving up to 12 hours per new system design. The autarc app connects everyone involved in an installation. Create new customers and projects on the go. From mobile site surveys at the customer's home, through scheduling and quoting, to hydronic balancing – everything can be handled and documented in autarc, quickly and easily. All information is transferred to the office in real time for fast job processing. What our customers say: "We use autarc at multiple sites across Germany. The software is very intuitive and requires no lengthy training." – Nikolaus Daume, Daume GmbH "Our closing rate has increased by around 20% thanks to the autarc heat pump check." – Lars Hückstädt, Hückstädt Heizungs und Sanitär in Plön

With Spruce, we're building tools to help ambitious heat pump installers run their business without all the pain, hassle, and manual process that they have to deal with at the moment. We believe the only way to seriously accelerate the roll out of heat pumps, let alone hit 600,000 a year by 2028, is to put the needs of heating engineers and installation businesses front and centre. We’re building tools for installers, based on what engineers and business owners tell us are their biggest problems and frustrations. Our Estimate Tool helps handle enquiries – allowing installers to respond in minutes not days, and separating the serious enquiries from the time-wasters. Our Survey & Design Tool then manages the heat loss survey, system design, and report creation. It means everything can be handled in one, seamless system, eliminating the need for manual data transfers and enabling detailed heat loss and design reports to be sent out on the same day as the survey is done. Using Spruce means installers can use their skills, experience and expertise where it really counts: providing great customer service, doing high-quality installations, and building their business.
