Guided diagnosis for HVAC techs

Find the real fault before you swap a part.

Stop guessing and part-swapping. ACLogics tells you what to measure next. Record the reading, and causes it clears get ruled out. Start it in the truck and keep following it in the basement with no signal.

Watch the causes drop off, one reading at a time.

Pick a common complaint and follow it from first check to the repair. Sample readings for illustration:

Initial Field Complaint:

Indoor blower and outdoor unit running continuously. Supply air is 74°F while return is 76°F (Delta T = 2°F).

1
Step 1: Preparation & Airflow Baseline

Action Required: Check return air filter and blower wheel cleanliness. Measure static pressure across evaporator coil.

Observed Field Reading:

Filter clean, total external static pressure is 0.42 in. w.g. (Normal airflow verified ~400 CFM/ton).

Ruled Out: Airflow Restriction
2
Step 2: Refrigerant Circuit Verification

Action Required: Connect wireless gauges. Measure suction pressure, liquid pressure, superheat, and subcooling.

Observed Field Reading:

Suction pressure = 78 PSI (R-410A, Sat Temp 19°F), Liquid = 245 PSI (Sat Temp 82°F), Superheat = 38°F (High), Subcooling = 2°F (Low).

Confirmed: Low Refrigerant Charge / Suction Line Leak
3
Step 3: Root Cause Isolation

Action Required: Perform ultrasonic / electronic leak detection on indoor flare connections and condenser service valves.

Observed Field Reading:

Pinpoint leak detected at suction line Schrader core fitting.

Confirmed: Defective Valve Core
★
Verified Solution & Work Order Summary

Replace Schrader valve core with core-removal tool under pressure, recover/evacuate to < 500 microns, weigh in factory charge, verify 10°F subcooling.

Ask out loud. Get the next check back.

When your hands are covered in coil cleaner or you're balancing on an 8-foot ladder, typing is hazardous. Just tap the microphone and speak naturally.

  • Talk like you would to a senior tech: Tap the microphone, say what you're seeing, and check the text before you send it.
  • Questions about the check you're on: Ask "What should my head pressure be on a 95°F day?" without leaving the step.
  • The why behind each step: Newer techs see why a check comes next, so every call teaches something.

ACLogics Side Chat Carrier 25VNA Heat Pump Session
Technician (Voice):

"Outdoor ambient is 92°F. Suction is 115 PSI and liquid is 340 PSI. Blower running at 1100 CFM."

ACLogics AI:

Based on R-410A saturation:
• Evap Sat Temp = 38.5°F (Normal)
• Liquid Sat Temp = 105.2°F (Subcooling = 13.2°F)
Next Check: Measure suction line pipe temp at service valve to verify if superheat is within the 8–14°F target window.

Guided diagnosis FAQ

Does ACLogics replace the technician's multimeter and gauges?

No. You still take the readings with your own meters and gauges. ACLogics tells you what to measure next, and once your reading clears a cause it rules that cause out, so you stop chasing false leads.

What equipment can I diagnose?

Pick the system type that matches the equipment when you start, such as a split AC, furnace or heat pump. Not sure? Choose Unknown, or Other when none fits.

Can diagnostic histories be shared across our service team?

Yes. On a Team plan, managers see their techs' work by date and status and can open a diagnosis to review its summary and the checks that were made.
