Propane boiler installed for combined DHW and hydronic heating delivers barely tolerable hot water when running at DHW setpoint of 140F, installer refuses to adjust parameters and suggests unsafe workaround.
No software tool exists to remotely diagnose or simulate boiler control parameters to optimize DHW temperature without removing safety devices.

App Concept
BoilerConfig Pro
A mobile app and cloud platform that enables technicians to remotely read, log, and adjust boiler control parameters from major manufacturers. Provides simulation of temperature mixing to optimize DHW without unsafe modifications, and includes a database of manufacturer parameter limitations and workaround guides.
Key Features
- Remote read and logging of boiler control parameters
- Simulation tool for mixing valve and setpoint optimization
- Database of manufacturer parameter limitations and safe workarounds
- Shareable diagnostic reports for customer and other technicians
Target Users: Plumbers and HVAC technicians troubleshooting combined DHW and heating boiler systems at small to mid-sized residential service companies
Revenue Model: $29/mo per user SaaS subscription or $299 annual per technician
