ChillCheck Pro
ChillCheck Pro is an AC diagnostic assistant that guides technicians through troubleshooting refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, and expansion valve problems using interactive decision trees and pressure correlation charts. It solves the common pain point of needing expensive diagnostic machines by performing calculations based on ambient temperature and pressure readings from standard gauge sets.
Key Features
- Step-by-step decision tree for AC compressor and expansion valve diagnosis
- Pressure-temperature correlation chart with overcharge and blockage indicators
- Leak detection advisor with UV dye protocol optimization
- Equipment-specific diagnostic guides (e.g., Cat loader, Honda Accord)
Target Users: Automotive AC technicians and DIY mechanics working on vehicle HVAC systems
Revenue Model: Freemium with basic diagnostics free and advanced features via monthly subscription ($9.99/month)
