Instant HVAC cost estimates for contractor websites. Visitors compare Good / Better / Best options; quote requests land in your dashboard.

== Description ==

Durofy HVAC Quote Calculator adds an instant estimate form to any page with the shortcode `[dhqc_calculator]`.

Visitors answer 2 quick questions — home size and system type — and instantly see **Good, Better, and Best** options side by side, each with a ballpark installed-cost range and estimated yearly energy savings. Showing three options instead of a single price helps visitors pick the tier that fits their budget. The visitor picks an option, then requests an exact quote. Every request is saved as a lead in your dashboard and emailed to you.

**Features**

* Mobile-friendly estimate form via shortcode
* Side-by-side Good / Better / Best tier comparison with energy-savings estimates
* 5 system types: Central AC, Gas Furnace, Full System, Heat Pump, Ductless Mini-Split
* Fully adjustable installed-cost pricing per system and tier
* Quote-request lead capture with honeypot spam protection, ZIP code, and TCPA consent
* Leads dashboard with contact details and estimate summary
* Email notification for every new quote request
* Brand accent color to match the calculator to the site

**Pro version**

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do quote requests go? =

They appear under HVAC Calculator → Quote Requests in your dashboard, and a notification email is sent to the address in Settings.

= Can I change the pricing? =

Yes. Every system and tier price range is adjustable under HVAC Calculator → Settings. Ranges scale automatically by home size.

= Are the energy savings figures exact? =

No — they are conservative planning estimates versus a standard-efficiency system (two-stage ~20%, variable-speed ~35%, per DOE/Energy Star guidance). Actual savings vary by climate, usage, and equipment.
