HVAC & mechanical

Find HVAC faults
before they cause downtime

Rooftop units, air-handlers, duct runs, and motors all have thermal signatures that change when something is wrong. Atlas captures those signatures, documents them with measured temperature readings, and delivers findings your maintenance team can act on before the system shuts down.

What Atlas detects

Across the full mechanical system

Atlas reads calibrated temperature data from your FLIR, Autel, and DJI thermal cameras so every finding carries an actual temperature — not a palette-dependent colour impression.

RTU & air-handler surveys

Survey rooftop units and air-handlers for refrigerant issues, heat-exchanger fouling, and compressor anomalies — all visible in thermal imagery under load.

Duct leakage detection

Leaking ducts cool or heat the surfaces around them. Thermal imaging locates leakage points that pressure testing only quantifies.

Motor & pump hot spots

Overheating motors, worn bearings, and misaligned couplings appear as localised hot spots before they reach failure temperature.

Control & electrical faults

VFD drives, contactors, and control panels in mechanical rooms share the same thermal failure modes as any electrical asset — Atlas handles them in the same inspection workflow.

Handheld & drone capture

Survey rooftop equipment with a drone and mechanical rooms with a handheld FLIR camera — both ingest into the same Atlas project with calibrated data.

Maintenance-ready reports

Reports list each finding by system, unit, and component with annotated imagery, temperature readings, and recommended actions — formatted for the maintenance planner's work order queue.

Inspection workflow

Survey, document, and hand off — same day

HVAC inspections span multiple systems and locations. Atlas keeps every capture organised by unit so the report builds itself as you work through the survey.

1. Capture under load

Survey systems while running — thermal signatures only appear when the equipment is operating. Atlas ingests radiometric files from FLIR, DJI, and Autel cameras.

2. Organise by unit

Assign captures to the RTU, air-handler, or mechanical room they belong to. Field notes attach to findings and stay with the image.

3. Annotate & grade

Mark anomalies on the thermal image, record temperature readings, and classify severity so the maintenance team knows what to prioritise.

4. Deliver

A branded PDF report organised by system and unit — with annotated imagery, temperature readings, and a recommended action table ready for the work order.

What teams get

Reports that generate work orders, not questions

A findings report organised by system and unit — with measured temperatures and recommended actions — gives facility managers everything they need to open a work order without a follow-up call.
