AC Buying Consultant is a skill that turns an AI agent into a structured HVAC advisor following a 9-phase decision framework. Rather than producing a generic recommendation, it enforces an information-gathering protocol that requires room dimensions, insulation quality, ceiling height, sun exposure, and occupancy data before proceeding. This prevents the agent from guessing at capacity figures without sufficient context.

The core function is BTU and tonnage calculation using a multi-factor formula that accounts for square footage, ceiling height, sun exposure, and occupancy. Alongside sizing, the skill contextualizes advice by country-specific efficiency standards: SEER2 ratings for US buyers, BEE Star Ratings for India, and SCOP for Europe.

Recommendations are categorized into three tiers — Non-Negotiable, Strongly Recommended, and Optional — so the output maps directly to a user’s stated budget. The skill also covers refrigerant future-proofing, specifically advising on the shift from R410A to R32 and R290 to avoid long-term serviceability problems.

The final output is a spec sheet tailored to the user’s living conditions and budget, suitable for use when comparing units in a showroom or online. This skill is appropriate when an agent needs to handle detailed, multi-variable HVAC purchase guidance rather than surface-level appliance suggestions.

Use cases

  • Calculate the correct BTU or tonnage for a room based on dimensions, ceiling height, and occupancy
  • Generate a prioritized AC spec sheet segmented by Non-Negotiable, Strongly Recommended, and Optional features
  • Advise buyers on country-specific efficiency standards such as SEER2, BEE Star Ratings, or SCOP
  • Guide users away from R410A units toward R32 or R290 refrigerant options for long-term serviceability
  • Enforce data collection before giving sizing advice, preventing irresponsible capacity guesses
  • Produce a showroom-ready specification document tailored to a specific climate, room, and budget

When to use it

  • The agent needs to guide a user through a structured, multi-step AC purchasing decision
  • Accurate BTU or tonnage calculation is required based on specific room and environmental data
  • The user's country context matters for matching the right efficiency rating standard
  • Budget prioritization of AC features is needed rather than a flat list of specs
  • Refrigerant type guidance is relevant to the purchase decision

When not to use it

  • The user needs recommendations for HVAC systems beyond split or room air conditioners
  • No room dimension or insulation data is available, as the skill refuses to proceed without it
  • The use case is commercial or industrial HVAC design rather than residential AC purchasing
  • The agent requires integration with live product databases or real-time pricing — this skill produces specs only
  • The task is general appliance comparison unrelated to air conditioning
