This app will decode the model number nomenclature of most HVAC companies. It has all the major brand names with many thousands of model numbers. It will also decode the serial number for many HVAC companies. It has the ability to email the search results in HTML format via an installed mail client. App is effective at decoding model and serial numbers for packaged units, air conditioners / condensing units, air handlers, evaporator coils, furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, chillers, split systems / mini splits, geothermal systems, and more. If the model number is not found exactly it will try a close match. If there is no close match it will give you the option to report missing data. The data is constantly updated and purchase of the app gets you free updates forever.

guys, add as much information as possible

Have a nice day, everyone!
good app, I like it. I'll keep it for myself. but I would like more information about each unit, so that it would be enough to enter the model and get the most complete information about the device. rather than search different websites.Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to review the app. We are constantly adding more data to the data base and updating the application about ever two-three months. We are looking into creating a repo of documents on our website that decoder app can link to via the model number. We have to make sure this repo conforms to copyrights laws before proceeding. These documents would be the (Install/Owner/Service/Tech Spec/Nomenclature) manuals just one click inside decoder app would allow you to down load from our website. This is a feature lots of user have requested.

I’ve had this app for years, it works flawlessly, there has only been a few occasions where my search didn’t come up. I submitted the report and the team responded to me directly with each report. The first time was due to me entering the incorrect model number and there even gave me the correct model none I was looking for so I could retry my search. The second time was truly equipment they didn’t have their database, not only did they email me all the info personally, they added it to their database by the end of the next day so it was searchable. I’m in several online forums and groups with other HVAC professionals, when someone asks about equipment I always share screenshots from this app and every time I get asked to share the link to this app by other techs…. It’s been well worth the money!I would like to see future updates include links to documents such as instillation manuals and tech support numbers.

Thank you for taking time to review the app and for sharing the app on other forums. I will keep in mind your request for links to installation manuals. Right now lots of data updates as manufacture prepare for new refrigerants to meet the EPA regulations. So adding features will have to wait a while.

A must have app

I am a residential HVAC estimator and having this app in my pocket makes it so much easier to know what’s already in a customers home. The devs are very responsive, if something is missing and you request it to be added you generally hear back within 48 hours. Well worth the little money paid.

Developer Response
Thank you for the great review! The program is really good at residential equipment and it helps to show the age of the existing equipment to homeowners to let them know it time for replacement. Lots of my customer think their system is only 8-10 years old then I show them their system is over 15 years old, make the sale a lot easier.

App is great at finding many residential model info. Unfortunately with new update the info screen changed. Not sure if it’s my phone I have iPhone 12pro. But I don’t care to see a pic of the equipment I know what it looks like I want to see the information and not just on two small lines at bottom of screen. Hope you can help. I will move rating up to five star if it were back to the way it was.

Thank you for the review, Apple has came out with a new design system and we are trying to implement it, we have a new version coming out this week which I hope address your issues if not please send me a email. The photos are for user who are not HVAC professionals and for a fast way of deciding if the model number matches the equipment searching in cases where more than one match is found for the model number. It would be easy to turn photos off with a setting page to revert back to old style and I will look into implement that as option on the future release. Thank you for the feedback and purchase of the app.
