Attempting To Use The MeasureQuick App!

- First time giving measure quick a chance. All in all I believe it's a great tool, a lot of the guys I watch on CZcams use it. Wanted to give it a shot and see if it's worth showing my boss if it'd be something he'd be interested in.
After this little test run, I can definitely say he won't 🤣 but I like the vast amount of information it can give. The info here might not be the type of things property management's care about but if you're servicing a homeowner and want to know if the unit is truly working well and how it should.
What app/equipment do you guys use?!

I love my wirless fieldpiece probes with measurequick.
You can change the probes to be anything you want using the toolbox. It's calculating the air flow using the temperatures. you're viewing real time, so the readings will fluctuate. The app can do a lot, the more information you give it, the better it is.
I like that. It did seem real informative. Things I hadn't seen or heard about since trade school
You can just use classic view and work with it similar to what you are use to with fieldpiece app except you can still get a ton more out of it with a larger selection of probes hooked up.
I'm glad I retired after 35 years in our trade. I'm all for technology. Coming up through the ranks I don't think many will remember the Snap 8 meter.the Simpson 260 meter and no blow back hose's. Back then it was basically touch, feel and smell first. I glad to see the field evolving and hopefully the young guys will make the old guard proud .... your well on your way young man.
I appreciate that man.
🤟💯🌎
I wish I could work in hvac again your doing a great job
I appreciate that! How come you don't get back in the field?
@@AB_HVAC I had a liver transplant
@danpresson I hope you're doing real well since the transplant. I'm sure a tech school near you could use your knowledge
If you get a 3rd psychrometer you can set it to be your outdoor probe that way you’ll get real time data for the pressure. And the app needs outdoor temp to calculate you superheat.
The psychrometer picks up cfms too
Now see that's freaking awesome. I find it weird they do that for the measurequick app but not the fieldpiece app
@@AB_HVAC yeah the fieldpiece app it’s trash. I’ve been using measure quick more than 4 years. I love fieldpiece probes I have two sets of them bc I do commercial mainly and it’s nice to be able to check two compressors at the same time.
I also have a set of the testo wireless probes which I rarely use. Their connectivity sucks, the range sucks and their app is trash as well. Good luck with measure quick bro.
@@AB_HVAC measure quick is always looking to make their app better and better.
To get SEER and EER numbers, you need to give it amp draw data. I don't think it's based on running it for longer.
It’s really great for commissioning new units and having proof of your work. That’s it
The missing input data is refrigerant flow. With refrigerant flow , btu and wattage calcilation would b fast.
Ooohh okay
Im curious were did you place your indoor probes just at any return and supply?
I had placed them at the return grille inside and the closest supply grille to the unit
This doesn't look like you're getting anymore information that i get from the testo app
You can scroll down on opening screen and open up classic view. You will not have to put all the information about the unit. It's a lot quicker, give that a try.
Ooohh I might do that on another video
True
Is this a free app? Imma new this if it is. How much is it if it isn’t free?
It is free as far as I know. Didn't have to pay to download it
There is a paid version that can do a lot more. I use the free version just for the pressure/temperature measurements
@EverythingHVACR jeez, is the extra stuff worth it? Like is it more advanced testing?
HVAC School shows you how to use it. Go to their CZcams Channel.
@AB_HVAC No, the app is great either way. The paid version gives you more information to share with customers, spreadsheets, and such. Honestly, I don't pay for it, so I don't really know its full capability. Don't need all the extra stuff in commercial. In my world, you use it to get pressure/temperature/ superheat/subcooling. You use those measurements to interpret what exactly is happening inside the refrigerant circuit. You had a 45-degree evaporator, so rule of thumb is your evap will be 35 degrees below your return air temp, so 78 to 80 degree. Condensing temp rule of thumb, depending on seer ratings, old stuff 10-13 seer, 30 degrees over ambient, so your outdoor temp 80 degrees, high side saturation temperature 110.
Dude you don’t have to create new jobs unless you use the paid version and want to keep track of jobs.
I downloaded that app and removed it ten mins later !!! lol it’s too in-depth for a service tech . Keep it simple . Are you getting a 20 split inside the house ? Are you getting. A good condenser Delta t ? Plus 80 percent of service calls are electrical issues .
I don't disagree. I just think that with today's technicians coming into the field, the app can give them good insight on the problems
@@AB_HVAC a pencil and note pad . That’s all you they need they should be writing everything down . Technology is good but comfort cooling ( residential ) hvac is basic shit .
@garza7676 lol I keep my notepad in the back of the bag
@@AB_HVAC yes not hating on the hvac apps . I’ve downloaded them all . They are useful but for me I found that actually writing stuff down , you’ll retain more information . I also have a hand size laminated chart of refrigeration cycle. Actually the heat pump version is very helpful for diagnosing issues .
@garza7676 as long as the job gets done right brother that's the important thing.
Late as hell boy
Better late than never
If you work for a big company they require it’s sometimes
I actually wouldn't mind using it if given the time to get all the info necessary. I think between getting all the filter sizes, inputting all the info, took about 20min right there. So if I have to get amp draws and stuff like that, on top of already letting the unit run for about 10min to get pressure readings I'm probably 45min total in before I've even begun to try and diagnose the issue
I'll stick to my testo app. This app looks stupid.
It's very informative but it is fairly time consuming
