Check Your Quote or Symptom for Free ($0 Charged)
On the home page, choose whether you already have a contractor's estimate or have a broken unit right now, then enter your 5-digit Florida ZIP code.
- Have a written quote? Type the dollar amount and (optionally) upload a PDF or phone photo of the paper estimate. Your competitor's quote stays 100% private—bidding pros never see their name or price.
- Snap the equipment sticker (optional but helpful): A quick photo of the metal model/serial sticker on the side of your outdoor AC unit, indoor closet air handler, or water heater lets VestaTwin match your exact size (tonnage/gallons) automatically—no tools or opening panels needed.
Read Your Plain-English Fair-Price Report
In about 60 seconds, you'll see how your quote compares against real Treasure Coast & South Florida installed benchmarks (equipment + municipal permit + labor).
- Easy 2-Minute Safety Checks: If your unit stopped cooling or heating, we also list simple checks anyone can do safely (like checking thermostat batteries, a tripped breaker, or a full AC drain float switch) before spending a dime.
- Save Your Report Link: Add your email address if you want a private link sent to your inbox so you can reopen your report on any phone or computer.
Optional: Invite State-Licensed Pros to Bid Anonymously
Unlike lead-generation websites that sell your phone number to 5+ companies at once, VestaTwin locks your street address and phone number inside an encrypted privacy vault.
- Zero Phone Spam: Local state-licensed Florida pros see only your ZIP code, equipment specs, and GPS-stripped equipment photo so they can submit binding, all-in prices.
- Risk-Free $49 Beat-Your-Quote Card Hold ($0 Charged Today): To prove to local contractors that a real homeowner is asking for bids, Stripe places a temporary $49 authorization hold. If at least 2 licensed pros don't beat your quote by 10%+ or $500+ within 24 hours, the hold cancels automatically ($0 charged).
- Automatic Email Updates: You never have to sit and refresh the page—we email you a 1-click private link as each new blind bid arrives, and automatically email you confirmation if your $49 hold is released at 24 hours.
- 1-to-1 Match & Zero Hidden Fees: Only when you click Choose This Pro does your contact info unlock 1-to-1 to that single winner—every other bidder stays permanently blocked from seeing your phone or address.
Common Homeowner Questions
Will contractors call or text my phone while I'm comparing bids?
Never. Bidding contractors cannot see your name, street address, email, or phone number. If a contractor has a quick question (like asking for a photo of your breaker panel), they tap a 1-click question inside VestaTwin and your answer is shared anonymously. Only the single contractor you choose ever receives your contact details.
Are all contractors on VestaTwin licensed in Florida?
Yes. Every participating HVAC (CAC/CMC), plumbing (CFC), and electrical (EC) contractor is checked against official State of Florida DBPR licensing records for an active license and clean disciplinary history.
When is the $49 Beat-Your-Quote card hold settled or canceled?
Running a 60-second Fair-Price Check is 100% free (no card asked). If you choose to request 3 anonymous local bids, a temporary $49 card hold is placed ($0 charged upfront): if fewer than 2 qualifying licensed bids beat your quote by 10%+ or $500+ within 24 hours, the hold cancels automatically for $0. The flat $49 service fee is settled only when we deliver 2+ qualifying lower bids or when you accept a winning bid.
Do I pay my contractor through VestaTwin?
No. Once you select your winning bid, you schedule, permit, and pay that state-licensed Florida contractor directly upon completion for the exact binding price you accepted.
