Quote generator for refrigeration

Refrigeration and HVAC quotes,
with refrigerant, pipes and noise counted in.

Calco is built for Danish refrigeration and air conditioning companies. Describe the job or take a photo - Calco finds the right heat pump and refrigerant charge, works out pipe lengths, condensate drains and labour hours, and produces a finished quote with real cost prices from your price files. So your real margin is included, and the items that usually get left out are not forgotten.

Example

Here is how it looks
in practice.

You write or say

"Install an air-to-air heat pump in the living room, outdoor unit on the facade facing the neighbour. Approx. 6 metres of refrigerant pipe, penetration through the outer wall, condensate drain to a gully."

Built for your trade

Your trade.
Built in.

Calco knows the rules, standards, and suppliers in your trade. No need to explain your trade every time.

01

Refrigerant and F-gas remembered

Calco works out the refrigerant charge from the system and pipe length, puts the charge in kg, and reminds you of the mandatory system log and leak checks - so the documentation is in the quote, not a surprise afterwards.

02

Pipe length, flare and fall in place

Refrigerant pipe is calculated in metres with insulation and flare joints, and the condensate drain gets the right fall to the gully. The items that usually get forgotten are included automatically.

03

Noise at the boundary automatically

If the outdoor unit is close to the neighbour boundary, Calco reminds you of a noise assessment against the Danish EPA limits - so you avoid complaints and an expensive relocation of the unit afterwards.

04

Electrics and mounting as separate lines

Separate electrical connection, wall bracket, anti-vibration mounts, commissioning and leak test appear as separate lines, so the customer sees what is included - and your time is paid for.

Trade context

Rules and standards in place

Calco knows the professional foundation that separates an amateur quote from a professional one.

  • F-gas Regulation (EU 517/2014) - certified personnel and equipment
  • Authorised refrigeration company for work on refrigerant circuits
  • Mandatory system log and leak checks based on refrigerant charge
  • Danish EPA guideline noise limits for outdoor units at the neighbour boundary
  • Electrical connection requires an authorised electrician
  • Ecodesign and energy requirements (SCOP/SEER) for heat pumps and air conditioning

Why refrigeration and HVAC quotes are easy to underprice

A refrigeration or air conditioning quote has items that easily get left out: refrigerant charge in kg, refrigerant pipe in metres with insulation and flare, condensate drain with fall, wall bracket, anti-vibration mounts, commissioning and leak test. Forget a couple of them, and the margin is gone.

Calco builds the item lines. Describe the job by voice, text or photo, and Calco finds the right heat pump, sets the refrigerant charge and works out pipe lengths and condensate drain - on your own price files from Brødrene Dahl, Ahlsell, Solar and H. Jessen Jürgensen, so the cost price is your actual one.

F-gas and noise are remembered, the responsibility is yours. Calco reminds you of the mandatory system log, leak checks and noise assessment of outdoor units at the neighbour boundary - but you always review and adjust the quote before it is sent as a PDF or into your order or accounting system.
