Why No Other Pittsburgh HVAC Company Gives You a Report Card for Your AC
You might have a suspicion that your central air conditioning system isn’t working as efficiently as it should. The system might run longer than it used to, fail to cool your home consistently, or fail to remove moisture. However, if you’re like most homeowners, you don’t know how to diagnose AC problems yourself, so you call an HVAC contractor in the Pittsburgh area. But how do you know if their assessment is accurate and honest?
Unlike other HVAC companies, MW Mechanical Services uses cutting-edge, third-party HVAC software that analyzes and diagnoses your system. It issues a simple letter grade that makes it easy for you to understand how your equipment is currently performing, and how much it’s improved once we finish our work. As a local, independent contractor driven by building science, we use real data to solve problems the right way. These report cards are just one of the ways we provide exceptional service to our customers
How Our Report Card System Works
We use a software app called measureQuick to perform our assessments of HVAC systems, including heat pumps, mini splits, furnaces, and central air conditioning systems. We’re the only company to use it in the Greater Pittsburgh area. With this tool, there’s no guessing; only cold, hard data that allows our skilled technicians to make an informed decision for your system. Here’s how it works:
- We Connect Probes and Sensors: We connect our testing equipment to your system so that we can take accurate performance measurements. We test refrigerant temperature, pressure, and other metrics.
- We Measure Real-Time Vitals: These sensors connect to a software dashboard that lets us view core vital readings in real-time. With this information, we can make a diagnosis.
- We Verify Results Against Live Performance: We verify isolated measurements with true system performance. The software provides a pass/fail rating based on this data.
- We Provide a Detailed Report: Finally, you receive an easy-to-understand A-F graphical report card with photo and video evidence of your system’s performance and efficiency.
Homeowner-Friendly System Reports
While other HVAC contractors may overwhelm you with technical jargon, our report cards give you an easy-to-understand explanation of your HVAC system’s performance. We strive to be home performance “doctors” and provide you with information that allows you to be the sole decision-maker.
The “A to F” letter grade system also gives you a clear benchmark for performance. You’ll be able to see how your AC or heat pump system performed before and after our work, giving you confidence that we made a difference in your home’s cooling. We don’t hide results.
Third-Party Verification You Can Trust
When you hire an HVAC technician that doesn’t use these types of diagnostic tools, you have to take their word, regardless of whether their diagnosis is accurate. With our team, you get trusted and unbiased third-party verification. The tools and software we use aren’t designed to upsell you upgrades or scare you into services. They provide direct data, measurements, and reports that reflect the true performance and efficiency of your system.
Ultimately, we use these tools because they instill confidence in our customers. We aren’t high-pressure parts changers or salesmen. We believe in comfort built on science, and service built on trust.
Ensures High-Quality Workmanship
Quality workmanship is always our end goal. Our report cards and diagnostic tools raise accountability and give us absolute certainty that we’re providing your home with the best solution for its comfort problems.
At MW Mechanical, we work with facts, not guesswork. We prove our results instead of asking you to believe us. Our diagnostic process raises the bar and challenges our team to take their expertise to the next level. By using data and building science, we push ourselves to do better work and can confidently say that we make your home more comfortable and your systems run better.
