HVACDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighField Technician$ implied
A lone field technician must troubleshoot and repair complex 3-phase chiller systems under intense observation without remote diagnostic tools or support, and intermittent faults don't show up during onsite visits.
Existing diagnostic tools don't provide remote monitoring or historical data logging to catch intermittent electrical faults like chattering contactors, forcing technicians to rely on manual observation and video recordings.

Workarounds Described
- recorded everything on video to capture intermittent fault
- multiple experts idly watching technician work onsite
Implied Software Gaps
- Remote monitoring system that automatically captures data when intermittent electrical faults occur
App Concept
FaultSnap Remote Diagnostics
A mobile app and edge device that continuously monitors HVAC electrical systems (contactors, compressors, control boards) and logs voltage/current data. When an intermittent fault occurs, it automatically captures a diagnostic snapshot and alerts the technician, eliminating the need for onsite observation and video recording.
Key Features
- Real-time monitoring of 3-phase power and contactor status
- Automated fault detection and snapshot capture for intermittent issues
- Remote access to historical data logs and waveforms
- Integration with existing building management systems
Target Users: HVAC field technicians and service companies that maintain commercial chillers and 3-phase equipment
Revenue Model: $49/mo per technician subscription, plus $199 one-time edge device
