When it comes to HVAC design software, MiTek® Wrightsoft® has long been a go-to resource for contractors who want to get load calculations and system design right the first time. As an ACCA Platinum Strategic Partner, MiTek has built its tools around ACCA standards and best practices—making quality design more accessible for contractors across the country. We sat down with the MiTek team to learn more about what’s driving their latest updates and what the partnership with ACCA means to them.
- Why partner with ACCA?
MiTek values its partnership with ACCA because we share the same goal: helping HVAC professionals deliver better comfort, performance, and customer outcomes. ACCA sets the standard for quality HVAC design and installation, and that aligns directly with our commitment to providing tools and solutions that support best-practice workflows—from load calculations to system design and documentation.
As an ACCA Partner, we stay closely connected to the needs of contractors and the direction of the industry, ensuring our improvements are grounded in real-world field feedback and in evolving expectations for codes, efficiency, and consumer comfort.
- How are MiTek’s latest improvements helping HVACR contractors work more efficiently and profitably?
The latest improvements in MiTek® Wrightsoft® software are designed to help HVAC contractors complete accurate designs faster, navigate code requirements with confidence, and reduce friction throughout the design workflow. Recent enhancements—including mini split system design support, a new user interface, and a streamlined workflow ribbon—make it easier for contractors to move from load calculations to compliant system designs with fewer clicks and less rework.
Expanded capabilities for mini split system design enable contractors to support a broader range of projects and customer preferences, while the updated interface and workflow ribbon improve usability and consistency across teams. These updates help reduce training time, standardize processes, and improve overall productivity.
MiTek has also invested heavily in code compliance, with updated ResCheck compatibility, Florida R405 2023 compliance, and California Title 24 2025 compliance. By aligning designs with current and emerging regulations, contractors can avoid delays, minimize redesigns, and submit documentation with greater confidence, saving time and protecting margins.
Together, these improvements help contractors work more efficiently, deliver compliant designs faster, and focus more energy on growing their business rather than managing complexity.

- What results have HVACR contractors seen from MiTek’s latest enhancements?
HVAC contractors using the latest enhancements in MiTek® Wrightsoft® software are seeing clearer workflows, greater confidence in design accuracy, and fewer compliance and documentation obstacles. The introduction of the new user interface has improved overall ease of use, enabling teams to navigate the software more quickly, complete designs faster, and maintain consistency across projects. Many contractors report that the updated experience reduces friction in day-to-day tasks and shortens the learning curve for new users.
Contractors are also benefiting from access to up-to-date manufacturer design information, which helps ensure system selections align more closely with real-world equipment specifications and project requirements. This reduces the need for revisions and supports more accurate, defensible designs from the start.
From a regulatory standpoint, contractors value having tools that reflect the most current code compliance requirements, including California Title 24, EnergyGauge, and R405. With these updates in place, contractors can submit designs with greater confidence, minimize delays related to compliance checks, and avoid last-minute redesigns.
Overall, the results contractors are seeing point to smoother workflows, improved design confidence, and reduced risk—helping them deliver compliant projects more efficiently and focus on running a profitable business.
- Looking ahead, what breakthroughs or strategic initiatives can HVACR professionals expect from MiTek in the coming year?
Looking ahead, MiTek® Wrightsoft® will continue to focus on making HVAC design tools easier to use, more connected across teams, and better aligned with contractor profitability. A key priority is ongoing usability improvements that simplify navigation, reduce manual steps, and help contractors complete designs faster and with greater confidence—regardless of experience level.
We are also investing in stronger collaboration across the HVAC supply chain—making it easier for contractors to align designs with builders, manufacturers, architects, and other project stakeholders. By improving how design information is shared and maintained, contractors can reduce miscommunication, improve consistency, and support more efficient project execution.
From a business perspective, MiTek® Wrightsoft®’s strategic initiatives are centered on helping contractors operate more profitably. This includes streamlining workflows, supporting accurate and compliant designs from the start, and reducing rework that can impact margins. Our goal is to help HVAC professionals spend less time managing complexity and more time delivering value to customers and growing their businesses.
