ElectricalDiagnostics & Troubleshooting4HighElectrician$ implied

When doing electrical work in older buildings, existing wiring is unsafe and undocumented, making it extremely difficult and dangerous to add new fixtures or understand the circuit layout.

There is no affordable, easy-to-use tool that allows an electrician to quickly map out old, undocumented wiring and identify hazards like ungrounded wires or live open junctions before starting work.

Workarounds Described

  • Uses visual inspection and manual tracing of wires
  • Relies on trial and error to identify circuits

Implied Software Gaps

  • Mobile app that automatically maps undocumented wiring and detects hazards using non-contact sensors and circuit tracers
App Concept

WireMap Pro

A mobile app that uses non-contact voltage detection, circuit tracer, and photo documentation to automatically create a wiring diagram of an existing building's electrical system. It flags hazards like ungrounded wires and open junctions, saving time and reducing risk when renovating older properties.

Key Features
  • Automated circuit mapping using Bluetooth-enabled tracer and voltage detector
  • Photo-based annotation of junction boxes, panels, and switches
  • Hazard detection alerts for missing grounds, open splices, and mixed circuits
  • Exportable PDF report and digital as-built for client records
Target Users: Licensed electricians working on residential or light commercial renovations, especially older buildings with undocumented wiring
Revenue Model: Freemium with free basic mapping for up to 5 circuits; $49/mo pro subscription includes unlimited circuits, hazard detection, and export
