We have just added a listing of available HVACR Apps for iPhone, Blackberry and Android Smartphones.

iPhone HVACR Apps (http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=768152)

Blackberry HVACR Apps (http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=768252)

Android HVACR Apps (http://hvac-talk.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=768262)

In the February 2011 issue of Contracting Business Magazine, the editor announced in his Editorial they will be reviewing HVACR Apps beginning in the March. here's a link to his column:

Yes, Virginia, There Is An "App" For That (http://contractingbusiness.com/columnists/weil/yes-virginia-app-0211/)

We plan to include links to these reviews and add new Apps in the Educational Forums, so stay tuned.

Maybe I missed it, but the Bitzer PT app seemed to be missing from the iPhone page when I saw it.

One of the best free apps I've found so far.

Can you access any of the Educational Forums?

This may be due to your "Global Moderator" title not being on the EF's permissions list. I'll drop Admin a note.

Thanks for catching that JP.

I believe we had the Bitzer App posted earlier in another thread, but it should be added to this listing. I'm sure there are more.

Certainly there are apps for the Blackberry, but to view our list in the Educational Forums you will have to get your post count up and obtain Professional Member Status before you can access it.

The Diagnostic Assistant App is no longer available here in the US.

Tired of the techs complaints about it not being good enough so decided to just pull it off the US market. Sorry for $2.99 it is not going to fix the system for you.

I won't be rushing to create any new applications either. Low sales and high complaints. Simply not worth the headache.

The best thing to use is a wireless card and an ACER 200.00 COMPUTER! It's small and faster with a bigger screen. This is 2011 time to get used to using technology its a digital world not an analong world anymore.

Here's a list of countries where BB Appworld is available:

Unfortunately, yours isn't one of them. :(

Have you tried doing a Google search? Perhaps you can find some which are available direct from the source.

I just purchased the Carmel Software Residential Load software for the iPad and iPhone For $39.99 its a brilliant tool for on the fly block load calcs. Decent construction and location parameters and it looks fantastic.

I have downloaded the app at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ecm-s...402409300?mt=8, and I would recommend it for those needing an ECM Service Guide. Plus it is Free.

Thanks for the post,

Very cool. Looking forward to comparing your list with what I have already seen in the AppStore.

I read through the thread and see a few techs have the tools, but not much discussing how useful are these tools? Has anyone ever come across a homeowner that is using or referred to one fo the tools?

Is this something anyone would promote to homeowners to help educate themselves, or would it just cause confusion and misinterpretation among the novice DYIer?

I don't have access either as I am new. Therefor i can not see the list. But personally i have heard quite a bit of good things on the HVAC Buddy App. I myself have not downloaded it quite yet.

Another app that I am familiar with is the DuPont Pressure Temperature app. It is very straight forward and very easy to use. Much better then looking through a list for a certain number. I personally would rather just type in my pressure/temperature and get the corresponding number.

These are both for the iPhone.
