App Concept

FrigiWise

FrigiWise is an equipment management app that helps HVAC technicians predict the usable refrigerant in a jug before arriving on site, and provides step-by-step guidance to recover the maximum possible amount from each tank. By leveraging jug data and recovery machine profiles, it reduces waste and ensures jobs are completed with fewer jugs.

Key Features

Scan jug barcode to view predicted usable refrigerant based on temperature and pressure
Recovery calculator: input recovery machine model and get optimized process for residual vapor extraction
Job log: track actual vs predicted refrigerant usage to improve forecasting
Alerts: notify when a jug is nearing depletion so technician can plan refills

Target Users: HVAC field technicians and small-to-midsize HVAC service companies managing refrigerant inventory

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription: $9.99/month per technician or $99/year per company

Problem Reports (3)

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.

HVAC3MediumHVAC Technician

Refrigerant jugs never fully empty, leaving residual product that technicians cannot easily recover.

HVAC3MediumField Technician

Technicians cannot extract the full labeled amount of refrigerant from a 25lb jug due to remaining liquid turning to vapor as pressure drops.
