HVAC AI Diagnoser

An AI-powered diagnostics tool that analyzes key readings (superheat, subcooling, pressures) to identify issues like overcharging, fouled heat exchangers, or early heat exchanger cracks. It provides real-time, context-aware guidance for technicians, reducing manual cross-referencing and unnecessary replacements.

Key Features
  • Input common HVAC parameters (superheat, subcooling, pressures, etc.) and get instant likely diagnoses.
  • Compare actual readings against expected ranges for specific equipment types (fixed orifice, TXV, chiller types).
  • Use image analysis (via phone camera) to flag potential heat exchanger cracks vs. harmless marks.
  • Log diagnostics history per unit for trend analysis and remote troubleshooting.
Target Users: HVAC field technicians and service companies diagnosing residential and commercial systems on-site.
Revenue Model: Monthly SaaS subscription for individual technicians or fleet licensing for companies. Freemium tier with limited free diagnostics per month.

CoilAccess Pro
HVAC technicians struggle to take readings on micro channel coils due to sharp panels that require disassembly.
HVAC3MediumField Technician
HeatEx CrackDetect
Determining whether a superficial mark on a heat exchanger is an early crack vs. harmless cosmetic flaw, leading to potential over-condemnation and unnecessary replacement costs.
HVAC4HighTechnician
ChargeCheck Pro
A technician needs to verify if low superheat on a new 2-ton HVAC install with a fixed orifice indicates overcharging or another issue.
HVAC3MediumField Technician
SmartCharge Pro
A technician is incorrectly charging refrigerant by vapor instead of liquid, causing improper charge and tank contamination.
