HVAC Detective: Root Cause Finder
A mobile app that takes in refrigerant pressures, temperatures, superheat/subcooling, and duct static pressure to diagnose complex intermittent faults, restrictions, and airflow issues. It correlats data points in real time and provides actionable next steps, reducing guesswork for field technicians.
Key Features
- Guided data entry for pressures, temps, and duct static
- Automated diagnosis of restrictions, overcharge, and duct undersizing
- Intermittent fault pattern analysis using time-stamped logs
- Step-by-step repair recommendations with diagrams
Target Users: HVAC field technicians diagnosing intermittent faults, restrictions, and airflow issues in residential and light commercial systems
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription ($9.99/month or $99/year) with a free tier for basic diagnostics
