View allDoorAssist RTU
Three pain signals highlight that RTU access doors are poorly designed, causing frustration and safety hazards during maintenance. The opportunity is to design a better door system that prioritizes technician usability and safety.
“RTU doors are poorly designed, making filter changes on elevated platforms unsafe and difficult.”
“A contractor is stuck on a multi-family job because the newly rolled out heat pump system lacks available parts and manufacturer support, causing crew downtime.”
FrigiWise
HVAC technicians lose about 1lb of refrigerant per 25lb jug due to unrecoverable vapor, adding cost and requiring extra jugs. This app solves the exact gap: it predicts shortfall and guides technicians to maximize recovery.
“Technicians cannot extract the full labeled amount of refrigerant from a 25lb jug due to remaining liquid turning to vapor as pressure drops.”
“Refrigerant jugs consistently contain less usable refrigerant than labeled (e.g., 24 lbs out of 25 lb jug), forcing technicians to bring extra jugs to complete jobs.”
