Ductwork & Installation Inspections
Photograph ductwork installations, equipment pads, and condensate lines. Code Buddy evaluates clearances, support, sealing, and insulation requirements against your jurisdiction's mechanical code edition.
Mechanical code lookup, equipment sizing validation, and Vision AI reviews for ductwork, refrigerant lines, and installations — aware of your jurisdiction's specific mechanical and energy code requirements.
A free workspace for you and two of your crew.
Code Buddy can be equipped with the mechanical and energy codes you work to, and then helps HVAC contractors get jurisdiction-specific answers using AI chat, camera-based reviews, and calculators — across ductwork, equipment installation, refrigerant handling, and energy code questions.
Results are AI-generated and should be reviewed by a qualified professional.

Photograph ductwork installations, equipment pads, and condensate lines. Code Buddy evaluates clearances, support, sealing, and insulation requirements against your jurisdiction's mechanical code edition.
Get instant answers on refrigerant type restrictions, line set sizing, brazing requirements, and leak detection requirements specific to your location.
Verify that equipment SEER/HSPF ratings, duct insulation R-values, and commissioning requirements meet your jurisdiction's adopted energy code — IECC or state-specific.
Use built-in calculators to cross-check equipment sizing against load calculations and code-required capacity limits for the climate zone.
Each tool is jurisdiction-aware and built for hvac — on the job site, in the office, or offline.

Code Buddy can be equipped with the mechanical codes you work to — the IMC and IFGC among them — plus the jurisdiction-specific amendments that apply. Add the energy code your jurisdiction adopted and it works to that too for equipment and duct insulation questions.
Yes. The Vision AI camera evaluates ductwork photos against the mechanical standards your account is equipped with — including support spacing, sealing, insulation, and clearance to combustibles.
Code Buddy tracks which IECC edition or state energy code your jurisdiction has adopted, and works to it once that edition is in your account — for equipment efficiency, duct insulation, and commissioning questions.
We'll load your regulations, your jurisdiction, and your team's workflow — and show you what Code Buddy sees. Live.
