App Concept

CoolCheck Pro

A mobile app that helps HVAC technicians quickly verify if a newly installed AC unit is performing to its rated capacity. It takes system readings, compares them to manufacturer specs and outdoor conditions, and flags underperformance even when pressures look normal.

Key Features

Input system pressures, temperatures, and refrigerant type to calculate actual capacity
Compare actual vs. rated capacity at current outdoor temperature
Log before/after data for replaced units to benchmark performance
Generate diagnostic report with pass/fail flag for warranty support

Target Users: HVAC technicians and contractors installing or troubleshooting residential AC units in North America, especially those dealing with new refrigerant and inverter systems.

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