HVAC Repair Quote Agent

After diagnosing a fault, the technician often has to quote a repair or a replacement on the spot, and quotes that miss permits or refrigerant cause disputes later. When a diagnosis is recorded, this agent reads the unit's age and condition and the company price book. It drafts options: repair, repair with related parts like a capacitor and contactor, and replacement with matched equipment. Replacement is offered when repair costs more than half of replacement or the unit is past its expected life. It checks each option for required permits, refrigerant and other items. If anything is missing, it adds it and reprices. Refrigerant is shown as its own line. A second check confirms every price matches the current price book. The technician approves the quote before showing the customer. Edge case: a unit using phased-out refrigerant shows that refrigerant's cost clearly.
