HVAC technician needs to adapt a 3-phase 208V RTU to a building with 240V delta power, but intermittent fan issues persist due to voltage mismatch, leading to repeated service calls.

Existing transformer solutions (buck-boost and step-down) are not reliably solving the voltage mismatch, and intermittent fan issues may be caused by other factors like refrigerant charge, leading to troubleshooting confusion.

Implied Software Gaps

Automated voltage regulation device that adapts incoming power to equipment specs
Diagnostic tool that isolates electrical vs mechanical problems

App Concept

VoltageMatch Pro

A smart voltage adaptation system for HVAC equipment that automatically adjusts incoming power to the unit's rated voltage, eliminating compatibility issues. It monitors voltage quality and provides real-time diagnostics to differentiate between electrical and mechanical faults.

Key Features

Automatic voltage regulation for 3-phase systems (208V to 240V range)
Built-in diagnostics to distinguish voltage issues from other faults (e.g., refrigerant charge)
Remote monitoring and alerts for voltage anomalies and unit performance
Easy retrofit with existing HVAC units via plug-and-play installation

Target Users: Electricians and HVAC technicians servicing commercial buildings with non-standard electrical supplies

Revenue Model: $899 one-time hardware purchase plus optional $19/mo monitoring subscription
