TradeHog.net: AI for the Trades—Fast, Field-Ready Answers for Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC & Inspectors
TradeHog.net: AI Built for the Trades — Fast, Field-Ready Answers When It Matters Most
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, builders, contractors, and inspectors: stop losing time hunting for answers. TradeHog helps you get a trusted starting point for research and practical guidance you can use on the jobsite.
🚧 The Problem: The Field Doesn’t Wait
In the real world, trade professionals don’t have time for guesswork. A missing detail on a rough-in, a confusing inspection note, a material substitution, or a code-related question can cost hours—or days—of rework and callbacks.
TradeHog.net was created to solve that exact pain point: an AI tool purpose-built for the construction trades to help you get fast, clear answers and a strong starting point for deeper research—right when the pressure is on.
🧯 What TradeHog is not: A replacement for your adopted codes, engineered plans, manufacturer instructions, or the AHJ.
🧠 Why TradeHog.net Is Different from “Generic AI”
⚡ Built for trade workflows
TradeHog is designed around how tradespeople actually work: short questions, messy jobsite details, fast decisions, and the need to confirm requirements before you cut, drill, pull, pipe, or set equipment.
🧰 Multi-trade coverage
Electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, building, fire/safety, inspection practices—TradeHog is made for the trades ecosystem, where one scope affects the next and coordination is everything.
⏱️ Faster answers = fewer mistakes
Instead of losing 45 minutes digging through references, TradeHog helps you get oriented quickly so you can verify, document, and move forward confidently.
📌 A “starting point you can trust” mindset
The goal is practical: help you identify what to check, what to ask, what to measure, and what to confirm—so your final answer holds up in the field and during inspection.
👷 Who TradeHog Helps
⚡ Electricians & Electrical Inspectors
- Clarify field questions (branch circuits, grounding/bonding, working space, equipment installs)
- Get a quick research path for code-based decisions
- Reduce callbacks by catching common mistakes before energizing
🚰 Plumbers
- Compare material choices (PVC vs CPVC vs PEX vs copper) with practical pros/cons
- Understand typical installation pitfalls that trigger inspection corrections
- Get help outlining a clean, code-aware plan of attack for the job
❄️ HVAC / Mechanical Techs
- Quickly confirm key considerations: clearances, condensate routing, venting pathways, equipment access
- Reduce “redo” work with better planning before set day
- Get checklist-style guidance to avoid common commissioning issues
🏗️ Builders, Contractors & Inspectors
- Coordinate trades better by identifying conflicts early (space, sequencing, penetrations, access)
- Turn an inspection note into a clear action list
- Standardize jobsite QA checklists for fewer surprises
🧩 How TradeHog Solves Real Issues in the Field
TradeHog shines when the job is moving fast and you need clarity. Here are common “field problems” TradeHog helps solve:
📝 1) Interpreting an inspection correction
Paste the note, describe the install, and TradeHog can help translate it into a plain-language action plan: what to verify, what to measure, what photos to take, and what questions to ask before you redo anything.
🔧 2) Material substitutions & “is this acceptable?”
When supply chains force a change, TradeHog can help you compare options and flag what typically needs verification: listing/labeling, installation instructions, compatibility, and inspection expectations.
📐 3) Clearances, access, and layout conflicts
Jobs fail inspections over space issues all the time. TradeHog helps you think through access and layout early: serviceability, working room, dedicated spaces, or equipment access panels.
🧪 4) Troubleshooting logic without guessing
TradeHog can help you build a clean troubleshooting plan: safest checks first, what symptoms point to which causes, and how to document findings so the fix is clear and defensible.
📲 How to Use TradeHog in 60 Seconds
- Describe the job: “Residential service upgrade,” “Rooftop unit replacement,” “Bathroom remodel,” “Final inspection.”
- Ask the real question: Keep it direct. “What should I verify before I close the wall?” “Why would this fail inspection?”
- Add the constraints: Voltage, material, size, occupancy type, environment, equipment model, inspector note—anything that matters.
- Use the answer as a roadmap: TradeHog gives you the starting point. Then confirm with your adopted codes, plans, and AHJ.

❓ TradeHog FAQ
Is TradeHog just for electricians?
No. TradeHog is built for the entire trades ecosystem—electricians, plumbers, HVAC/mechanical, builders, contractors, and inspectors. The goal is to help every trade get faster, clearer answers and a stronger starting point for research.
Does TradeHog replace the code book or AHJ?
TradeHog is designed to help you get oriented quickly and reduce guesswork, but your final verification should always be based on your adopted codes, engineered plans, manufacturer installation instructions, and AHJ requirements.
What kind of questions should I ask to get the best results?
Include context: the trade, type of occupancy, what you’re installing, what you’re trying to confirm, and any constraints (sizes, voltages, models, inspection notes). The more jobsite detail you provide, the more useful the response will be.
