- 01
Room-by-room Manual J
Every Tradewright proposal starts from a room-by-room load built on ACCA Manual J methods. We did not find Manual J stated on OnCall Air's site.

Manual S from real equipment
Equipment is selected against the load at your design temperature, not just matched as a valid AHRI combination.

Scan the house, read the nameplate
LiDAR scan on iPhone or iPad, or plan upload, plus the existing equipment read from a nameplate photo.
- 04
Whole-system comparison on 15-year cost
Heat pump, boiler, furnace, mini-split and dual-fuel compared on 15-year cost of ownership, with ruled-out options and why. OnCall Air's E-Tag shows estimated energy cost and CO2 savings on the proposal.
- 05
Rebate paperwork generated
NYS Clean Heat and Mass Save documentation generated from the design.

Works with FieldEdge and Jobber too
Tradewright works with Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, ServiceTitan or no CRM. OnCall Air lists ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro integrations.

Questions
What is the best OnCall Air alternative?
If you want proposals inside your field service platform, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan both offer Good/Better/Best. If you want the proposal built on a room-by-room Manual J and a 15-year system comparison, Tradewright. Tradewright is our product.
Does OnCall Air do Manual J?
We did not find Manual J load calculation stated on OnCall Air's public site as of October 16, 2026. It does offer automatic AHRI match data for valid system combinations.
How much does OnCall Air cost?
As listed on oncallair.com on October 16, 2026: Starter at $49 a month with unlimited users and no annual contract, usage-based pricing above that, and custom Enterprise pricing for 1,000+ proposals a month.
Does Tradewright offer financing on proposals?
Yes. Tradewright supports e-signature, payment and financing at the table.
Is Tradewright a CRM?
No. Like OnCall Air, Tradewright works alongside your CRM. It works with Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, ServiceTitan or no CRM.
Why does Manual J matter on a proposal?
It shows the homeowner why each system is the size it is, helps avoid oversizing, and is often required by rebate programs. A proposal built on a room-by-room load is easier to defend than one built on the old equipment's size.
