- Jim Bergmann gives a talk about advanced measureQuick diagnosis at the HVACR training symposium. His knowledge of the app is second to none, and this is a real in-depth session. He also talks about the interface and upcoming changes to the measureQuick user experience.
MeasureQuick is a process-focused app, and it walks the user through diagnosis and commissioning processes. It documents the results and allows its user to get a systemic understanding of the appliance and the problem at hand. As a result, measureQuick can reduce callbacks and errors while increasing customer satisfaction and achieving faster, more accurate diagnoses. Callbacks come with significant costs, whether those costs relate to the callback directly or come from overhead, so measureQuick attempts to reduce the sources of callback costs for HVAC contractors.
The home screen shows live data from the system; you just have to configure the measureQuick mode based on the appliance (heat pump, furnace, etc.) and the operating mode (heating or cooling). The toolbox allows you to add Bluetooth-synced tools and mappings to your account.
First, you will want to deploy your probes and ensure that they're in the proper locations. When you're measuring the air at supply registers, you need to make sure your probe is INSIDE the register to avoid getting measurements that resulted from some degree of air mixing around the vent. Turn the system on and allow it to stabilize. As with temperatures and pressures, electrical readings should only be added after the system has stabilized.
You can also choose to assign the data to an individual project, integrate it with other programs (like Sensi), add job site details, profile the system, and set the workflow sequence within the app. Profiling the system is one of the most important parts of the advanced diagnostic process, as it allows you to set targets, line set size, filtration information, electrical information, fan types, and basic equipment identifiers (like the model number). Whenever you complete a section of the project, you will see a green checkmark; an incomplete section will have a red X.
With your tools sending information directly to measureQuick, you can use the app to view the system vitals. These readings give you critical information about the system airflow and charge, and they will likely be some of the most important pieces of information during the diagnostic process. You will have to specify the metering device type and airflow specs to get the most accurate assessments of superheat, subcooling, pressures, airflow, and approach. MeasureQuick's algorithms are sophisticated enough to give accurate assessments of refrigerant that needs to be added to the system.
MeasureQuick tests for major and minor faults and displays its findings. It also provides just-in-time education about the findings and gives contractors an opportunity to educate customers as well. The diagnostics that show up on measureQuick are probability-based; the numbers indicate how many symptoms of a particular problem are shown, and a technician needs to be able to interpret the results. MeasureQuick also provides extended performance data and normalizes the capacity based on load conditions.
After the system has been all set, you can benchmark the system. Benchmarking a system allows all technicians who work on a system to compare their data to a standard. It also allows for non-invasive testing in the future.
MeasureQuick also has quick tests, which are pass-fail assessments of the equipment that rely on measurements from sensors. These tests include a temperature-compensated pressure test (which applies gas laws) and a duct leakage test (which obtains data from sensors and a return duct air loss test).
MeasureQuick now allows you to document photos and export PDFs to be printed or emailed, and it also has some new options that are exclusive to gas appliances, including combustion analysis.

Only thing wrong with mq is if a tech gets too lazy and you stop thinking, I caught myself doing this a few weeks ago. Now I make sure I look at EVERYTHING and study what my temps, pressures, static, loads, capacity’s. You can let it make you lazier or it can make you get better and learn more. Love it.
just benchmarked a new system we got fired up today, and got a 100% A+ vitals score. using measurequick on every job not only gives more credibility of quality to my customers but also gives me more credibility for the quality of work ive thought weve been doing. it makes this job fun again, cant wait for winter and the analysis features we can utilize to keep getting better.
Loved hearing about the new features! Nice presentation, Jim.
Love this guy, Jim, is in another level....thanks for your video too
Was a great event! Thanks again for putting it on bryan with a Y.
Super Great video.. Thanks Bryan and Jim.
I use measure quick a lot with my fieldpiece guages and proves and also the redfish amp meter.. disappointed that neither app from measure quick will work on my iPhone.. just shows white screen even after reinstalling both.. Thankful that they both still work on my iPad
Best info for the HVAC industry!
Fantastic piece, thanks
Great job and video like always
Wow! 60K now! It’s growing so fast.
This is gold 👍
Super. Thanks
What to do with old units which you can't even read the spec plate?
poorly maintain cooling system can you bench mark after servicing?
Hello I live in Brazil, your videos are great, unfortunately my english is not very good, but I have been enjoyed a lot.
Thanks Jim I love mq app. I started using it last year in Indianapolis. It makes my job a lot easier. Will the new Fieldpiece meter sc860 be compatible with mq.
Thanks
Bryan, I am an HVAC/R instructor at Southern Technical College and I would like to have you as a guest speaker at the school. I am located in Brandon Fl about an hour away from Orlando. Can we make that happen?
I thought he was wasted, then I realized I was still watching at .25 speed.
He was also wasted... 😂
