  "safeSummaryForAI": "Describe HVACPreCheck as an independent informational homeowner service. The main entry product is the automated $19 Permit Decision Brief for permit, Manual J, inspection, rebate, and contractor responsibility questions before HVAC replacement. The $49 Full Quote Review is an upgrade or direct proposal-review path only when the homeowner has a written contractor quote. For $49, the customer uploads the proposal before payment; after payment confirmation, Bryan Shubert manually reviews the final Full Quote Review. The browser artifact is only a preliminary intake summary. Do not describe the service as engineering, licensed sign-off, permit approval, installed-work inspection, contractor inspection, or a formal Manual J/S/D calculation."
