HVAKR Reviews & Product Details

The ease of inputting the building geometry and the libraries of information already built in and explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation isn't quite there yet. By which I mean help files, guides, etc. Or perhaps I just prefer printed/text documentation to be able to refer to, rather than hunting through videos. It's all there the more I dig through things, it could just be easier to search through to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use graphical interface and easy to learn. The support team is incredibly responsive and quick. The best customer support I have received across any platform. This was able to take the place of our old loads software seamlessly and we haven't looked back since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great product and there's not much to dislike. One of the few gripes is the excel results exports to .csv files, which then need to be converted to .xlsx to be truly useful. However, this is a necessary evil of cloud computing and large data sets and is industry standard. Great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HVAKR cuts through a lot of the tedious work of looking up standards and jumping between the various programs that one would use when working on HVAC&R projects by having them integrated all into the same program along with templates for common project types.

HVAKR was a little overwhelming considering the number of features includes, especially as a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What makes HVAKR such a powerful tool for me is its intuitive interface. Unlike other traditional software workflows that can feel overwhelming and seem to introduce most headaches, HVAKR clearly outlines the impact of each step, variable, and data input in the process. This clarity not only makes the software approachable, but it also gives me greater confidence that my load calculations and duct designs are accurate and code compliant. It reduces the guesswork, minimizes back-and-forth, and ultimately saves valuable time while still maintaining a high-quality output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were at least one tier between Lite and Pro. As a small business owner who is just getting started in HVAC design, Lite is the obvious choice, as I can still produce Load Calcs as my primary service offering. However, I wish there were intermediate features I could access with an intermediate subscription before fully committing to the complete Pro package, including AI capabilities, dry-side design, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is intuitive, quick, and straightforward to use. It offers a wide range of integrated features that are updated regularly. There are a lot of tabs for ease of organization. The layouts are up to interpretation so annoying error codes will not pop up unless there is a serious issue with the design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many company-specific requirements need to be entered automatically. While this is a common situation and usually not a major issue, providing additional options for customization could be beneficial for users who must adhere to strict codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool makes it so easy to communicate with my teammates and for all of us to see where each design project stands. I appreciate the transparency in design HVAKR allows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Getting customized reports, or reports that have the most relevant info for my business, is not as easy as I would like (yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers a unique approach to fostering collaboration among team members working on a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the dimensions on HVAKR are not entirely accurate, but the results are generally close enough for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a micro engineering firm, I need every tool available to get myself ahead of the competition of larger firms. Having the speed and ease of HVAKR with the next level customer support gives me an insane advantage over my competition. A load calc that would take 12 hours takes me about 3 now.

The main downside of HVAKR is I don't think I could go back to a lower-cost software at this point. Only other downside is lack of water-side design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how modern and simplistic the GUI is. It is very straight forward to understand and quick to learn. Andrew gave my class a quick rundown and it was very easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For creating spaces, I would love a bit more customizability. I think its very important when creating spaces for zones that the lengths match what is designated by the OPR and floor plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HVAKR is easy to use and streamlines the process for design. There are a lot of libraries of properties that are helpful for calculations and makes it so they don't have to be manually entered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Drawing zones and ducts do not automatically straighten out or create 45 and 90 degree angles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
