Workarounds Described

manually observes gauge fluctuations and records numbers mentally/on paper

Implied Software Gaps

Mobile app that automatically records and analyzes pressure trends to identify intermittent faults

App Concept

CoolCheck Pro

A mobile app that captures and analyzes refrigerant pressure and temperature trends in real-time, comparing them against known failure patterns. It alerts technicians to root causes like non-condensables or liquid line restrictions, reducing guesswork and callbacks.

Key Features

Real-time graphing of high/low side pressures and subcooling/superheat
Pattern recognition engine for common HVAC faults
Automatic log of readings with timestamps and unit details
Integration with manifold gauge or Bluetooth sensors

Target Users: HVAC technicians and service companies with 1-50 field staff performing residential AC diagnostics

Revenue Model: $19.99/mo per technician subscription or $199/yr
