Common questions
What the operator stays in control of.
Project rules, human takeover, and scheduling mode are configured for the business.
Will Porchlight quote a sauna automatically?
Only within the approved ranges and rules the business provides. Custom pricing or uncertain fit is handed to a human.
Can follow-up stay manual?
Yes. The operator can receive the SMS packet and call when free. Calendar booking is optional.
Can it qualify electric and wood-fired projects differently?
Yes. Heater direction, power availability, site conditions, and local constraints can be part of the sauna qualification fields.
