1. Supply Air Temp/Delta T Problems.

  • Detects when the system isn't heating or cooling properly.

  • Catches refrigerant issues early.

  • Identifies airflow problems.

2. Poor Trending AC/Heating Performance.

  • Tracks declining efficiency over time.

  • Shows gradual system degradation.

  • Alerts before total failure.

3. Runtime Issues by Mode.

  • Monitors AC, heat, and fan operation.

  • Detects abnormal cycling.

  • Identifies compressor problems.

4. Runtime Increase vs. Outside Air.

  • Shows when the system works harder than it should.

  • Indicates efficiency loss.

  • Suggests maintenance is needed.

Airflow & Pressure Issues.

5. Pressure Problems.

  • Low-pressure alerts.

  • Sudden pressure changes.

  • Filter restriction tracking.

6. Filter Life via Pressure Trends.

  • Real-time filter life calculation.
