HVAC diagnostics
you can show the customer

Telling a customer their rooftop unit is failing is one thing; showing them the thermal image with measured temperatures is another. Atlas turns HVAC thermal captures into visual, measured evidence that closes repair approvals faster.

Capabilities

Mechanical systems, thermally documented

From a single RTU diagnosis to a campus-wide mechanical survey.

Calibrated temperature analysis

Inspect per-pixel temperatures, adjust emissivity and reflected temperature, and place spot and area measurements that update live as you tune parameters.

Annotation & markup

Drop pins with live temperature readouts, mark regions, add delta-T callouts, and attach field notes so every finding carries its evidence.

Mobile field capture

The companion mobile app captures photos, notes, and flight details on site and syncs them straight into the right project.

Automatic photo organization

Uploads are sorted thermal vs optical, grouped by flight, and filed against the right project and building automatically — even full memory-card dumps.

Branded PDF reports

Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.

Jobs, estimates & invoices

Run the business side in the same place: a deal pipeline, job tracking, estimates, scheduling, and invoicing tied to each inspection.

The failure modes heat gives away

Failing compressor motors, clogged coils, duct leakage into unconditioned space, seized dampers, electrical faults at the disconnect — HVAC problems announce themselves thermally before they announce themselves with downtime. Atlas measures the signature, pairs it with the visual context, and files it under the right unit and site.

Evidence that speeds approvals

A service recommendation backed by an annotated thermal image with real temperatures gets approved faster than a line item on an invoice. Atlas reports present the finding, the measurement, and the recommendation together — and with estimates and invoicing built in, the approved repair flows straight into the job pipeline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What HVAC problems can thermal imaging find?

Overheating motors and compressors, refrigerant-circuit anomalies visible as abnormal coil patterns, duct leakage, electrical hot spots at disconnects and contactors, and insulation gaps around mechanical systems.

Do rooftop units need a drone?

Not necessarily — many techs shoot handheld from the roof. A drone helps on large portfolios or steep roofs; Atlas processes both identically.

Can I quote the repair from the same system?

Yes — Atlas includes estimates, job tracking, scheduling, and invoicing, so the finding, the quote, and the completed work order live in one place.
