Hello my name is Cory Desormeaux I wish I could be there to offer some feedback. I am from Ottawa , Canada, and I work for Francis Home Environment, one of several companies under "The Right Time Group" of HVAC companies across Canada. As a technician, I've been using MQ since day one. I followed Jim over from his iConnect days, and I can run MQ in my sleep. I firmly believe in this product and know firsthand what it can do for training new technicians, ensuring units are commissioned correctly, and increasing revenue-the list goes on. My only issue for the past seven years has been convincing a large company like mine to fully embrace MQ. We recently integrated ServiceTitan in December 2023, and I believe ServiceTitan did an excellent job marketing their software to company owners. However, MQ has not been introduced as effectively. Typically, technicians are the ones pushing for MQ adoption within their companies. I would love to fully utilize MQ's premier features, but currently, I can only use it at a technician level. It would be beneficial to see programs developed for MQ champions-those who are dedicated to promoting MQ adoption within their companies. Providing these champions with Qbits or full access for a year would allow them to demonstrate to their owners why MQ is a valuable investment. If one technician per company had full access, they could effectively showcase the benefits, such as increased average ticket sizes, reduced callbacks, and higher customer satisfaction. These technicians would become the advocates MQ needs to capture the attention of HVAC company owners. You could create an application process where technicians can apply to become MQ champions. If deemed a good candidate, their account could be marked as a champion, granting them free premier access for 365 days to help spread the word about this amazing software.

Some companies are simply to large to even listen to there employees. Small companies are being bought out by PE groups, those groups are managed by people who are not from the HVAC field. There managing financials and portfolios with no real field experience. MQ at this point would have more leverage if they started a paid sub.let the techs pay for it, that will get premier more out there. Than ownership will take notice. Right now with Qbits ownership is not paying attention. Give premier to the techs, let techs lead the market and prove to ownership why it works

So good to see Jim on video again!

Had the comment of spending at leapt 15 minuets a day learning about my trade in the first year of my apprenticeship.. It was the best thing that was ever told to me.

Corrected a lot of issues just by checking the airflow. and readjusting correctly.

How do you seal the hole you poked in the filter media? Also, these are quite price filters for just the addition of some foam

We in the Netherlands are always amazed, on your filters systeem. but our filter system has a pressure guard at the front and back. As soon as it is dirty, the filter roll automatically replaces it.Replacement of the role once every 5 years

Yes they do not know

Great information!

I need another temp prob? Why?

I see that my blue flame has been discontinued, how long will you be supporting the analyzer on IOS and Measure Quick?

how come MQ free version will change last setting everytime I exit it. is there a pay version?

That vacuum was pulled yesterday it was pulled so fast.

excelente video , lastima no esta subtitulado en castellano

Thanks for making this app possible !!

What do you do to keep refrigerant from going into the micron gauge? Or is this not a problem?

I bought these while back! Not impressed! Battery life is bad. Mine came with one magnet that is not very strong. @measurequick must be getting paid a lot to push these! Better options out there for cheaper! $400 is nuts for these two temperature probes.

There ok at best. The range is not there and the temp probes get tore up from the sheet metal hole u make in the plenum.

Looks like a mixture of the refco and uei probes and features. I feel like they missed the boat with the non angled pressure probe connections and like the old testos that didn’t fit on a lot of equipment

Ill also add, i just bought mine 2 months ago and jb has already changed the design. The magnet on my psycrometers is on the body of the tool, yours is on the flexible neck and looks identical to the fp magnets. I dont understand these changes on a brand new product, and not being able to buy the pressure probes anywhere.

I have the jb pipe clamps and psycrometers but cant find the pressure probes, so i dont use any of it and want to sell them now. Ill stick with my fp job link stuff, i wanted these because of the display. Sometimes its too much of a pain to sync up to mq and i just want to see whats going on quckly with no apps. Now appion has probes with displays so i may be going that route

I found this presentation because I am in a desperate search for any information about using measure quick I can get. I wish I were at this symposium so I could give the following feedback on the MeasureQuick app: I would like to see a higher level of refrigeration support in the app and appropriate data entry points (for instance: a cold room that is supposed to be maintained at a temperature of 4℃ and a 50%RH does not have ductwork, so a SCFM entry is not applicable). Also, until the most recent upgrade (v2.5) and even now, I struggle to know where to begin in a way that allows me to get back to the same site/equipment to finish a project. Each time I go to work on a piece of equipment I have to start a new project with no way to go back and finish a project previously started. Save to device could be organized by customer/site/equipment, etc. After starting a project, and choosing save to cloud requires enabling premiere features to continue with that project? I would like to see a breakdown of the MeasureQuick app in a way that describes where in the app the current information being typed in is stored. Site names appear different even though it's the same piece of equipment at the same site. In other words, how do I get back to that equipment that I just worked on without creating a new site just so I can add the same equipment all over again? I think MQ is going to be an invaluable tool in my job; I just need to understand how to use it. It's almost as if I'm typing information in the wrong places in the app such that the customer information shows up as either a project name or a site name?! I realize that I need a much deeper understanding of the MeasureQuick app to be able to use it at all effectively.

Thanks Jim, I have a question how can we measure air flow in mini split A/c? Can we use large vane annometer?

In an air handler your low side pressure probe needs to see the resistance of the filter, but also the resistance of the coil. The placement location you showing for the probe is not correct. The probe needs to be after the coil, not after the filter.

Nope, stupid,sorry

Well, why have you just now started to measure airflow? You never needed mq to measure anything at all, any measurements you're taking now using mq should have been going on already from the start of your company. Airflow, sh,sc, comp ratios, capacity,ect. Are nothing new to the trade.

Are you finding more qualified talent or just applications for the advertised pay scale.

Does measureQuick work With fieldpiece SMAN 480?

Does measureQuick work With fieldpiece SMAN 480?

Need premium *Which I can’t find* to take screenshots :( I’ll stick with field piece

Biased article

So for the liquid line temperature, you're putting your temperature clamp about 5 to 6 in away from the compressor?

Somebody check on that dog

Class action lawsuits on LG. Refrigerators for compressor failure and bad inverter boards. All you do is plug them in. How is that installer error?

And who is we? You keep saying we. No company owners in their rite mind is going to hire these people unless its for office work. Id really like to know why you think this is a good idea and how you think think this could actually happen. Its never going to happen. Keep these thoughts in your dreams,and keep them to yourself. For someone working everyday to better the trade, youre sure doing all you can to try and ruin it at the same time. 8 to 10 weeks,smfh youre smoking crack Jim. They have places you can go to get help for that.

I usually agree with alot that you say,youre a smat guy for sure, but this is the dumbest thing youve ever said. And im not sorry. And you are very wrong Jim. Youre going to turn someone in a suit and tie with zero tech skills, into a tech in 10 weeks? Hmmm. How do you think thats going to work? First,you need to be licensed and schooled to become a tech. In my state,the license i have is 4 years of on job training and schooling before youre even eligable to take your test. But you think you can just change these laws because you invented an app that does the diagnostics for them? Thats bullshit. Your software is not some magic do it all for you miracle software app. You need to have hvac experience, and years of it to even understand the diagnostics in mq. I think i just lost much respect for you my guy, you should be ashamed of yourself to be honest. Put the bourbon down dude. Youve lost it now.

Both of y’all are just absolutely chilling 😂😂😂

My only question is what to do concerning static pressure drop across the system? If we get into these high MERV rated filters it can cause more stress on the indoor motor and the modules will go out faster. How do we get this perfect filtration while keeping the system efficient?

You get what you pay for. My company has journeyman level leads as installers. Guess what they're expensive and they've earned it. Builders want to hire the cheapest guy. Even if he doesn't speak English and just touched an AC condenser and coil.

The United States is going to heat pumps. The crap ultra low nox furnaces. Are ruining the industry. They took a perfectly good furnace and messed it up!!! All planed in my option to get rid of natural gas.

Jim is one of the best in the business but I will have to take exception on some of his comments . #1 R22 systems are extremely easy to charge correctly whether pre-charged from the factory or in the field. Comparing R22 charging with mineral oil to R410A with POE oils are night and day /apples and oranges. #2 ductwork sizing, and airflow has always been a problem but now with ECM motors, it’s a big problem. #3 modern equipment has become more problematic due to the increases in pressures and added requirements put on the manufactures to increase efficiencies by using thinner materials for heat transfer & sophisticated controls (increasing the number of components automatically increases the likelihood of more failures, more time consuming diagnostics with expensive tools & added maintenance requirements.) Regards from STL .

Welll, I wouldnt say ALL equipment is high quality. OEMs make unreliable garbage nowadays but a quality install at least makes sure it performs correctly before it breaks down on year 2 lol.

And you sir just gained a new subscriber. Keep being awesome, bless I wish you all the best🙏🏽

I agree with him, I have never cleaned my condensate drain ever on my central ac system which was installed in 2001

Well seeing as everything is crappy made these days, then crappy filters are the least of our problems.

What about rust from the coil going through the drain, or the fact it only drains in AC so once AC stops running the water dries in the trap and can develop hard clogs. 90% furnace systems have an acidic condensation that can help prevent clogs after the furnace drain but this is bull shit, this is someone who has never done service a day in their life.

And the dirt that settles on coils/catch pan? LOL..Definitely the burbon talking

If it’s not the booze, then you’re an idiot.

Wasnt evaporate acidic?

I have no god damn idea what he is talking about, but this might be my new favorite explainer position. In a nice chair with a cute dog and a glass of bourbon.
