Avoid overestimating or underestimating loads in your calculations. See why our electrical load calculator prioritizes real-world values over breaker ratings.

Today we’re excited to introduce the next chapter of Kopperfield with the launch of our app for mobile and tablet. Now contractors can prepare for projects and permits from their pocket.

The Kopperfield app is designed to empower electrical contractors to manage load calculations, single line diagrams, project details, and customer communication from the convenience of their mobile device. With the new app, Kopperfield puts the full power of our platform into your hands — saving time, cutting costs, and helping you deliver projects efficiently. 

Powerful tools from your pocket

Whether you’re on-site or in the office, the Kopperfield app is crafted to meet the needs of busy contractors who demand speed, accuracy, and ease. Here’s how Kopperfield's latest app release makes it all possible.

Fast and accurate load calculations

Our residential load calculator is equipped with a user-friendly interface and preset data for common appliances based on the National Electrical Code (NEC). Simply enter property details and the app will auto-update calculations following NEC Article 220, Part IV. From large custom homes to smaller residential units, load calculations are just a few taps away. For additional flexibility, adjust any appliance or load value to suit your project’s specific requirements.

Single line diagrams on the go

Create, modify, and view electrical single line diagrams with ease using our pre-built templates and library of electrical symbols. Access single line diagrams or create new diagrams (tablet feature only) instantly with your team. Our drawing tool field adjustments seamless, giving you an all-in-one tool to keep your documentation consistent and accessible.

On-demand NEC code assistance

Navigating the NEC is simpler than ever with our custom NEC chatbot. Instantly find sections from the 2017 or 2020 NEC with advanced search capabilities, finding relevant code sections in moments. No more flipping through books or lengthy online searches — our chatbot is the perfect supplement to your copy of the NEC, right in the palm of your hand.

Project management made simple

Stay on top of every job with our job management tools. Individual project pages provide a streamlined view of every customer request, property permit history, and project-specific notes. Filter projects by service type, status, or team member, helping you keep track of multiple jobs without losing sight of the details.

Customer communication, streamlined

For real-time customer interactions, our new app also includes a unified inbox for all communications. Manage calls, texts, and chat from one place, and respond to inquiries quickly using customizable templates for common responses. Our unified inbox ensures you’re always reachable and ready to provide a great customer experience.
