Dismissive of you. And merely making points that refute what was stated in combative statements by others.
And I edited that from Jonas to you…had the name wrong. Jonas didn’t saying anything out of line. He made constructive comments.
I don’t know how old the system was.
I bother because that’s what my client is paying me to do.

Personally, I find the most inspector’s reports lacking as it relates to AC. I understand that you don’t want the liability. However, providing a better format and more comprehensive look at the AC system (at no added cost) will make you look better without adding liability. It probably saves you a lot more time than the long drawn out description of the hvac system which you might currently provide.
I think you understood my point about “why bother” to use our app for that system. I am not sure why you have to add this comment.
No, you are combative when people express doubt or criticism. You fell into the same trap last time.
Your app offers some insight or additional information, but we know its limitations. Therefore, it appears to be gimmicky. We try to tell you this and you get touchy and aggressive.
Do yourself a favor: Hire someone to pitch this product for you.

I’ve inspected many much older than that that we’re still working fine. I’m sure many others here have done the same.

I had an apartment complex recently that still had 26 of the original 1983 Coleman heat pumps still going strong. Over 40 years old and still heating and cooling those crappy little apartments.

I have one in my own home that is older than that… 32 years!
Heck… My furnace is 36 years old!
Regular maintenance matters!!

I know a guy that can detect and diagnose any problem with a pair of glasses. How does your system stack up against his?

Uh yeah. That’s what they call in pro terms…pulling it out of your a*** Incredibly impressive.
Ah yes, but would you pay extra to ensure that all the vitals look good or just assume that if you get another year out of it then all good. My point is that you pay for in depth inspections on the systems of maybe 13 years or younger, rather than some 22 year old system already deducted from the sales price as probable failure…soon. Eleven to thirteen years is the average life expectancy for systems these days without active monitoring and even under standard maintenance.
Gimmicky to you but you don’t understand much as I see it. I don’t even think that they require you to have formal training or a certification in GA. That’s crazy. Is that true?
I know these measurements can indicate some issues. Many of us have been spot checking these data points for years.
GA is an unlicensed state. But that provides you no insight into my credentials.
But you’re not here to promote your gizmo, you’re here to argue.
Just like the last time you posted. Rinse and repeat for attention.

I think that you need to re-read my post and the intention behind it. And No you don’t know at all what you’re doing because it is very complex and varies by type of system and temperature data as to the targets. Spot-checking doesn’t get it! I have a utility patent in this area junior. Do you or your fellow experts? No.
I’ve stayed out of this discussion, but your antagonistic (and confrontational) approach to users here is baffling.
Consider that even if your product/service was fantastic and a huge time saver, no one wants to partner with someone with this level of toxic interaction.

Dominic, I came in with the spirit of work with me and let’s see the reception you get in the field. What I got was attacks, I am scared for liability reasons and I know AC already because I can read supply and return air temps. If someone spoke to me in a toxic fashion, I responded equally. As to partnering, I have better ideas but you guys gave me some great material btw. Ty 
I’ve posted the edited version which is creatively hidden by the admins after they stated that I had the opportunity to edit the original post to come into compliance. I would dare say that my intention was not to combat anyone.
"Home inspectors, can differentiate themselves by offering a more polished section for AC Systems within their home inspection report. You don’t necessarily have to refer to it formally as an AC inspection. You can merely refer to it as general health and info on your AC system but I feel that an added charge would be warranted to the customer.
As for AC companies inspecting, they generally do a very cursory inspection because they themselves don’t want to be on the hook for anything. While I have a video that I can show, I’d probably rather have folks contact me and I’ll schedule a couple of different times for a zoom meeting where I can answer questions and provide more info as needed. Anyway, we need beta testers and would appreciate your curiosity, interest and even participation in a zoom call.
I don’t want this to violated the forum’s policies and I hope that the edited version above helps alleviate that. Thanks."
Those weren’t attacks, little boy. They were concerns and critiques with a healthy dose of cynicism. Almost as if you are not the first “visionary” to peddle the next greatest thing to a finite number of homes inspectors. Almost as if we have seen you here before with the same chip on your shoulder looking for an argument.
Not to worry, I did not extend my cooperation.
Lovely.

Isn’t this the same condescending attitude that happened the last time you were hocking this product?

You have not answered my questions and instead provided your feelings only. So let’s start with my question #1 above and add detail to the question. I will make it easier and say let’s only deal with the State of Texas for answer(s).
- What State laws/rules for Licensed Home Inspectors to perform an “assessment” of an HVAC system to the level of detail your program is claiming to cover?
- What specific parts of the laws/rules for an Air Conditioning Refrigerator Contractors/Technicians would allow this activity?
- Are the methods you are proposing in your program actual accepted standard actions in the HVAC Industry (Industry standards) for the purposes stated in your service?
