Three faults. Three clear signals. This AirSenz test follows a clogged filter, added electrical load, and low refrigerant, from normal operation through detection and verified recovery.
The test system pairs a Goodman heat pump and air handler, using blower tap three and R thirty-two refrigerant. Outdoor temperature is seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit.
We begin at eleven twenty A M, before the filter restriction. One-minute detail shows the critical changes, with faster transitions between the key events.
First, a healthy qualified cycle. Static pressure is stable, and the air handler draws just under two and a half amps. This is our reference before the restriction.
With the filter restricted, return static pressure climbs well above the commissioned baseline. The change is clear in the running readings.
The filter restriction also increases air-handler current by about eleven percent. This comparison uses qualified readings from the healthy and restricted runs.
At eleven fifty-one, AirSenz detects the filter restriction. The completed cycle is about forty percent above the static-pressure baseline.
After the restriction is removed, running static pressure returns to its healthy range. AirSenz evaluates the next qualified cycle to confirm recovery.
The portal marks the symptom cleared at twelve eleven. At twelve twelve, the engine records the filter alert as resolved, following the healthy qualified cycle.
Next, the electrical test. An Ohmite resistive load bank adds one amp, followed by a second amp, for a total added load of two amps.
Before that added load, the normal qualified cycle shows outdoor current just under seven amps. This establishes the healthy reference.
The first higher reading appears at twelve fifty-seven. Outdoor current rises to nearly eight amps.
Two minutes later, the second step takes current to just under nine amps. Both load additions are now visible.
At one oh four, AirSenz detects sustained excess current. The detection result is about one hundred thirty percent of baseline, above the one hundred twenty percent threshold.
The alert remains active through shutdown. During the next cooling run, current returns near baseline, and qualified operation supplies the recovery evidence.
At one twenty-eight, the electrical alert resolves after a healthy adjacent qualified cycle. The record now shows both the anomaly and its recovery.
The third test tracks low refrigerant through subcooling and the air temperature differential. The subcooling baseline is about fifteen degrees.
A normal qualified cooling cycle comes first. The difference between return and supply air temperature is about twenty-four degrees. This is our healthy reference.
At two fifty-five, the operator removes one pound of refrigerant. The next sustained cooling cycle reveals the change.
With low charge, subcooling stays around nine to ten degrees. The air temperature split also falls, from about twenty-four to twenty-one degrees. That is a drop of almost three degrees during qualified operation.
At three thirty-five, AirSenz detects low subcooling and identifies low charge as the likely cause. The detection cycle is about thirty-six percent below baseline.
At three fifty, the operator restores the pound of refrigerant. The readings that follow show the air temperature split back near normal, around twenty-four to twenty-five degrees. Subcooling continues recovering.
At five oh two, the symptom moves to improving. The following cooling run provides another qualified cycle for the recovery check.
The next qualified cycle verifies that the recovery holds.
The air temperature differential tells the same story. About twenty-four degrees before the test, about twenty-one with low charge, and back near twenty-five during recovery. Cooling performance has returned to its normal range.
At five twenty-eight, the refrigerant alert resolves. Clearing-cycle subcooling is back to about fifteen degrees. All three test alerts are now resolved.
The recorded event history connects each detected fault with its verified resolution. That is a complete service story, from the first signal to the recovery.
For homeowners, better system performance means more comfort and less wasted energy. Catch small issues early to help lower operating costs and prevent avoidable breakdowns. Sometimes the answer is simple: change a filter, or clear a drain line, and avoid an unnecessary service call.
Put more money back in your household budget. Better efficiency and one avoided emergency service call could save around five hundred dollars a year. Earlier insight helps you turn small corrections into lasting value.
Help your system go the distance. AirSenz protected systems pair earlier insight with proactive maintenance and timely repairs, helping homeowners work toward up to twenty years of dependable comfort. Catch small issues sooner. Protect your investment. Get more from the system you already own.
For utilities, corrected faults can translate into meaningful energy savings. A representative heat-pump home could save around a thousand kilowatt-hours a year, rising to fifteen hundred in our stronger correction example. Across a thousand similar homes, that is roughly one to one and a half million kilowatt-hours a year. Focus outreach, correct waste, and follow performance after repairs.
Industry research shows why these conditions matter. Department of Energy guidance connects clean filters with lower cooling energy use. NIST modeling shows the energy penalty of undercharge, while Berkeley Lab documents savings from fault detection and diagnostics.

These controlled lab demonstrations use recorded operating data and monitoring screenshots. They show fault detection and recovery under the test conditions and represent a development milestone. We are continuing to validate AirSenz across equipment and operating conditions. Savings and equipment-life examples in the videos are illustrative projections, not measured results of these tests; actual outcomes depend on the system, conditions and corrective action.
What this demonstration shows
Utilities need useful equipment-level insight to support customers and evaluate HVAC performance. These demonstrations connect a monitored fault with corrective action and recorded recovery. Measuring program energy savings requires separate field evaluation.
In these tests, AirSenz recognized recovery from the equipment’s readings without someone manually marking the monitored fault as resolved. The record connects the alert, the corrective action and the return of the monitored readings to their normal range.
