“The charts are right there at your fingertips, in the app, so you don’t have to go to a second location to check temperatures and pressures for the refrigerant. “You can plug in what refrigerant you’re dealing with - 22, 410 - and it’s already giving you what your pressure should be,” Ellingson said.

Smart tools also help increase competency by reducing the need for manual calculations, helping technicians avoid human error. Using a device like Cooper Atkins’ Blue2 wireless temperature probe, one person can do the job of two. SMART = SAFE: Smart tools like Bacharach’s PCA 400 Portable combustion and emissions analyzer, which uses a mobile app and Bluetooth technology, allow technicians to control and monitor testing from a safer or more convenient location. It takes two people, where you’re radioing to the guy inside doing spot checks.”

“They’re outside, and they’re hooking up the probes to the refrigerant line or the condensing unit, and then they come inside, and they’re adjusting the thermostat. “Smart tools help us work smarter, not harder, because they’re actually able to connect instead of having to run back and forth” during a project, Ellingson said. The most successful smart HVACR tools have two things that set them apart, said Ellingson: They’re easy to use and have multiple functions.

With so much buzz about the future of automation (think smart homes, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence), it’s important to keep in mind that just as with manual tools, not all smart devices are created equal. Editorial Calendar & Editor Assignments.
