How it works

It's 4pm. The unit is down. The customer is watching.

From broken unit to confirmed diagnosis in three steps.

  1. Step 1

    Tell it what you're looking at.

    Residential or commercial. AC split, heat pump, furnace, boiler, mini split, rooftop unit, walk-in, rack system, ice machine. Pick the symptom. The app only shows the ones that fit that unit.

    Unit type picker with tappable tiles: AC Split, Heat Pump, Package Unit, Mini Split, Furnace, Boiler, and a Continue button.
  2. Step 2

    Enter the readings, or just take a photo.

    Suction, head, superheat, subcool, indoor and outdoor temps. Or snap the nameplate or your gauges and MasterTech reads the numbers for you.

    Readings screen grouped into Environment, Refrigerant circuit and Equipment & notes, with fields for indoor and outdoor temp, suction, head, superheat and subcool, and refrigerant chips.
  3. Step 3

    Answer one question at a time until it's confirmed.

    Each step is one card: the single most useful test or question. Likely faults are ranked with a confidence score. Unsafe conditions stop the job. When it's confirmed, you get a customer-ready summary and a saved work order.

What's inside

One app. Three jobs.

Guided AI diagnostic

One question at a time, until it's confirmed.

Pick the unit and the symptom, enter your readings or photograph the nameplate, then answer one question per step. MasterTech ranks the likely faults with a confidence score, explains why at your level, and writes the customer summary once the diagnosis is confirmed.

  • STOP-WORK flags for CO, flame rollout, burnt wiring and live-circuit risk
  • Ranked faults with a confidence score, and the reasoning behind each
  • Customer-ready summary and a saved work order on every closed call
Live MasterTech working theory: three likely faults ranked with confidence bars — low refrigerant charge 45%, condenser airflow restriction 35%, restricted metering device 20% — each with the reasoning over the entered readings.

The engine

Built for the field, not a generic chatbot.

A purpose-built diagnostic engine with HVAC physics baked in: refrigerant pressure-temperature tables, superheat and subcool logic, equipment-class rules, safety rules, structured step-by-step reasoning. Explains at your level: Apprentice, Journeyman or Senior. Escalates to a stronger model on hard cases.

  • Not a chat box. One card per step, with tappable answers. Free text is the last resort.
  • Gloves-on tap targets. Dark mode for attics.
  • Connection drops? A standard first-checks list for that unit takes over.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is it a chatbot?

Not a chat box. Each step is one card: a question with tappable answers, a reading to enter, a test to run, or a photo to take. The engine ranks the faults and picks the next most useful step. Free text is the last resort.

Which equipment does it cover?

Residential: AC split, heat pump, package unit, mini split, furnace, boiler. Commercial: rooftop unit (RTU), walk-in, reach-in, rack system, ice machine, split system, VRF. Refrigerants from R-410A, R-32 and R-454B to R-448A, R-404A and R-290.

Does it replace the technician?

No. It can't hold the gauges. It's a second set of eyes: it checks your numbers against the physics, tells you when a reading contradicts your theory, and flags unsafe conditions. The tech confirms the diagnosis and closes the call.

What about my data?

Your readings, photos and work orders are stored in your account. Contractors see their own team only. Only techs who mark themselves open to work appear in recruiter search. Delete your account from inside the app any time. Details in the Privacy Policy.
