Question 5

What's so great about AC diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

AC diagnosis gives back control to every car owner. Modern cars have become quite complex and they contain more technology than ever. If you are testing your car’s air conditioning performance without taking the outside weather conditions into account, it can be easy to misread the real A/C performance of your system. One of two things could happen:
1. You might take your car to a mechanic and pay for a professional service even though it still works properly.
2. The A/C system is not working as efficiently as it could but you don’t know that, which also means you are losing money at the pump because you are filling up more often.
The AC diagnosis sensor takes into account all outside weather conditions, calculates the optimal vent temperature, and communicates if the air conditioning is working properly (or not). It does all of this in just a few minutes. This way you gain more transparency and control over your car, enabling you to save money and time, and giving you peace of mind.

Question 17

What's the difference between AC diagnosis and a thermometer?

Accepted Answer

AC Diagnosis is an innovative Internet of Things (IoT) sensor at the forefront of diagnostic technology. It attaches to your car's central vent and allows users to determine whether their car is cooling efficiently. The diagnostic tool takes into account all outside weather conditions, temperature and humidity, calculates the optimal vent temperature, and communicates if the air conditioning is working properly (or not).
Thermometers (which have been around since 1714) only measure the overall temperature of your car's central vent, which can lead to an inaccurate reading causing unnecessary work and expenditure. This happens because warm air can blow through your AC when the outside temperature is hot and impact the performance of your air conditioning, even if your car's air conditioning system is in perfect working order.
