HVAC Buddy® App Description & Overview

What is hvac buddy® app? Make your job easier with our refrigerant charging and diagnostic HVAC app - HVAC Buddy®. If you are servicing equipment the best way to begin diagnosis and determine the proper refrigerant charge is to use HVAC Buddy®, a set of gauges, and a thermometer.

• Superheat for fixed capillary or Subcooling forTXV/EXV systems
• Calculates targeted vs. actual Subcooling
• Over 100 refrigerants including newer azeotropic blends
• Airflow / Delta-T / TEET Calculation
• Email System Status Report
• Imperial (IP) or Metric (SI)
• Use Target Superheat and Subcooling tables or enter manually
• Update all values with realtime output
• Line Chart displays historical values based on input changes or elapsed time

If the early outdoor temperature is 75F and you charge the system to a “beer can cold” suction line your system is likely improperly charged. Later in the afternoon high temperatures will increase head pressure and the resulting overcharge means a lower than desired superheat and wasted energy. Not good!

Overall Process:

• Enter refrigerant, temps, and pressures
• The math is done for you to display Superheat, Subcooling and Airflow Target, Actual, and Difference
• Email all readings (detail)

Other Features:

• Flexible units - psi, kPa, Fahrenheit, Celsius, etc.
• Calculates Superheat and Subcooling targets
• Airflow - For cooling, compares a targeted difference across the coil vs. actual. Also called Delta-T or Target Evaporator Exit Temperature (TEET).
• System Status Report - Use the email tab to create defaults for email addresses, subject, and System Status Report introductory text. Tap the email button and these values are incorporated into a formatted page including all the parameters recorded in HVAC Buddy. Edit the email and / or add contacts from your contact list. Then on each service call it's just a couple taps to send a personalized report.

Works well. I use this app almost daily. Works well, charts could be bigger ( limited to 70 f) and needs an easy reset form button. Else works good.

Nice. Good app for the more critical charging environments. However when doing 5 or more service calls a day there is no time to email, why can't I send report via mms/text? That would be helpful. More unit and diagnoses details such as work performed, parts and supplies used on report would be nice

This app is my HVAC Buddy. I carry my buddy around on all my jobs now and it really simplifies the process. No more note taking, no charts to carry around just plug in the numbers from my metering devices and presto!

Read the reviews!!. App really disappointed me with the lack of refrigerants. At least state a list of them on the description details. Missing a lot of refrigerants like 407c,422 and many more. I mean I really wanted it for the refrigerants I don't normally come across and need a idea of the pressure.

Good app waiting for fixes. I like this app ALOT, Im sure fixes are on the way. Seems silly for me to have to enter the wet bulb in each screen, Sh,sc and indoor air???

Old one had red to green good/bad indicators it was much more helpfull to techs and customers. Also no diagnose advice in new one no instructions for the silly graphs Red green idiot lights to signal a go nogo status are better

Save your money. Other free apps work better. Do not purchase this. Waste of money

No longer useful. Without the diagnosis tab to give recommendations of what's wrong, I have no use for this app. My digital gauge set does all the things this current version of the app does. Please bring back the diagnostics. The help section is just an advertisement for another app and is not telling me anything about how to use this app. Disappointed

Great app. I'm a tech in a company with 20 vans, and this app really sets me apart from the others with the personalized report email feature. My only concern is that the email comes from my personal email. I wish it come from a proxy or something so half of Phoenix doesn't have email

Use it a lot. This app has made my life so much easier. I can calculate and document the operation of the equipment and never look at a tp chart or use calculator. Love it.

I'm pleased. This app is useful but please add more refrigerants like R-422B and R-427A

Dot color by lettering. change color dot by lettering easier overloaded red just at example.

Pretty good if Tech has an iPhone. I used it to explain charging to an apprentice that unfortunately does not have his own iphone. If you have one, great.

Needs more refrigerants. Add more common refrigerants. An in app p-t chart would be nice too.

Its an app. For a seasoned tech (Contractor) it really isn't a must have for me. Time is money and I still use service tickets because they are faster. I can diagnose a refrigeration problem pretty quickly, whether its a bad TXV, a restriction, air flow problem, non-condensibles or what ever. I can also add and subtract on a piece of paper quicker than i can use this app. I also find more electrical problems than I do refrigeration. I'll give it 2 stars even though I never use it

This is just great!!!!. I'm a HVAC tech and I could have used this a few hours ago. It doesn't matter if this is your profession or not this will come in handy. This is not a bot review I'm just some dude. Thanks

S-cool…….?. This app used to work well until last update. Now when you attempt to go into S-Cool, it kicks you out of the app……. Any ideas?

Why did you change it?!?!?. I hate the new update!! Change it back!

It was good. The most recent update has a fancier look but is less useful than the old version and seems half finished

Outstanding. I used this almost everyday this summer, it really is like having another tool in your bag. Great app to have on your phone or iPad. Buy it, you won't be sorry.

how to enter negative temp. i cannot seem to get the developers email address or website to ask how to enter a negative temperature in the wetbuld entry blank.

No more Great app!. New update 👎🏼. Complicated. Sencilla eficaz y fácil de usar, solo necesita mas refrigerantes.

commercial hvac. I found this to be a very nice app.A question i have though is,can this be used on a heat pump system in heat mode.Maybe an update could be added later if it cannot be used that way now,thanks

Awesome app. This is a great app, very handy. if more refrigerants were added, along with another page so we could include the equipment information And save them into different groups or jobs for future reference that would make it a must have app for techs.!

Miss the old interface. Just tried the new version and miss the old style.

Don't buy it. It is useless. Not worth the money.

Average app so far.. I am looking for an update. I would like to see PA and WC added to the air flow area. Also needs better email report that states problem areas. This app just needs more details and updates. App needs to address airflow problems affecting charge. After all if you don't have enough air flow your charge will look over when it really isn't. This app is not taking that into effect but does show you optimal delta T. I would also like to see a current efficiency rating of the operating unit. EER not the SEER. For $10 this app should be the best. Thanks

Back to my #1 go to app!!!!!!. I have been a fan of this app since 2012, but was disappointed when the diagnostic tab was lost in the facelift. But you listened, and corrected the issue, almost overnight! Great job, and thanks for being so responsive. I highly recommend this, and all this developer's apps. They stand behind their products, and great customer service. Well worth the price.

HVAC Tech. I love HVAC Buddy! It just went from "neat app" to "fricken sick"! I've used it occasionally and have been happy with it. It didn't do anything I couldn't do with my gauges, clamp on, and a piece of paper but now with the ability to e-mail the info from every call I go on this app is a must! I was going to buy a $200+ data logger that would print out that info...not any more. Thanks.

HVAC Buddy R-4. The new version of HVAC Buddy R-4 has a screen capture issue. While the capture shows up in photo's, if you try to import it into "Invoice 2 Go " all you get is a black screen. Screen capture can be texted however. Anyway to roll back to old version? Also all contact options on web don't work.

worker. When I first installed this app it said to take discherge temp as close to the compressor as possable, well that's not how you get sub-cooling. however most should know this already before buying this app. I take it the designer doesn't work in the field.

Not worth it. Can't put enough info in email. Presets for calculated values are off. I don't usually need 32 degrees of SH as my target. Too expensive for just email capabilities.

Great App. I love this app but it would be nice if you add more refrigerants such as MO99, 407c, 417, etc. As time goes on it's more common to find these retrofit refrigerants being used and it would be nice if this app would include at least these few. Once again I will say I love this app only missing a few minor details.

love this App. I own a HVAC company and I am out on calls all the time with so many types of units and equipment its a pain to have or know all the information that you need to in order to get the job done Quickly and with out question. With this app I am able to get the job done with out question and in half the time. Saving my coustomers Money. I am able to get to more jobs and make more money. To me this is a huge win. Tray Schuldt Schuldt HVAC.

This changes everything.. I am not easily impressed but this app has been very impressive so far. I have used this almost 50 times since I bought it and it makes charging a system FUN. Your temps change and you update your numbers. Couldn't be simpler. My customers can actually see my dedication to my work and they're happy with a cooler house. Best app I've bought so far.

Great App. I use it daily to check SH and SC, easy to use and works well!!

Update. Was wandering if there was going to be another attempt at update actually liked both for different reasons.

Time saver. This app saves so much time in the field. I use it every day.

HVACR novice. Please add more refrigerants such as R-408a.

Hvac tech. Really good app to have at your fingertips. A+

Why??. Old version was great!! New version is worthless do not buy.. Please change it back!!

Hvac tech. Save your money. Not what I thought it was going to be.

Beutal. This app is terrible. Not worth any hvacr mechanics time. Complete rip off!

No more sliding calculators. I just purcahased the iPhone a few weeks ago. And at the same time my 410A superheat and subcooling chart was ruined by my custermer's dog. Yes! The dog tore my chart to pices. So, I starded calling my supplyers to see if they had the sliding calculator that I needed. And to my amazment none had any. Well, I came across this app and I've been putting it to the test. It was I bit confusing at first just because. Just let me say that this app is great. Keep up the good work !!!

Works great. Setting up a bunch of AC's this year and was tired of running back to the truck for the slide ruler all the time. I saw this app and man I can tell you that it works perfectly. I swear by it. It does superheat, subcool and airflow. Great for new installs as well as service.

New upgrade. The new upgrade has problems. I found that trying to get to the number I need I have to tap the screen over and over. Then the button gets stuck next thing I am into the thousands. Removed and reloaded older version.
