Equipment research
Importing equipment from a product URL
Use the approved product importer and understand what it can and cannot fill.The product importer can assist with equipment entry from a supported HVACDirect product page. It may fill product information, models, specifications, warranty language, and a catalog image. Hawkeye Estimates is not affiliated with or endorsed by that supplier.
Import a product
- Open the correct equipment option.
- Paste the exact HTTPS product page into Product URL.
- Select Import Product.
- Wait for a success, partial, or error message.
- Review the highlighted fields, source links, warnings, image, and warranty language.
- Complete or correct anything missing.
If a field already contains different manual information, Hawkeye Estimates asks whether to replace it. Choose Cancel to keep existing values and import only empty fields. Confirm replacement only after comparing both values.
What the importer may add
Depending on what the page provides, an import can include:
- Product and manufacturer names
- System, outdoor unit, and indoor unit models
- System type, capacity, tonnage, and efficiency values
- Refrigerant and electrical requirements
- Indoor unit and zone type
- Warranty text and alternative warranty statements
- A supported catalog product image
An import may be partial. Missing information stays empty instead of being guessed.
Refresh an import
After an option has import metadata, the button changes to Refresh Import. Refresh requests current research again. Manual specifications remain protected unless you confirm replacement; manually uploaded or deliberately pasted product images take priority over an automatic image.
Use refresh when the source page changed or an earlier import was incomplete—not as a replacement for final review.
When import is unavailable
You can always enter equipment details manually. See Troubleshooting product imports for supported URL, blocked-page, missing-field, and image steps.
