## What is HVAC Equipment Locator?

### 2/5 — Amazing app but there’s a catch

*2026-07-14*

I’m in apartment management managing over 750 apartments. When I found this app I loved the details you could enter and set up different properties with individual hvac units under the different properties as a separate address. But once I created 15 different equipment logs I was told I had to upgrade. I already had paid 9.99 to use all the features, yet no where did they say there was an equipment list limit. Now they want you to pay monthly based on the amount of logs, upwards and over $100.00 a month. Again the app is amazing and detailed but that’s absurd to charge even more money just to create more maintenance logs. Don’t waste your money.

### 5/5 — Awesome app. BUT! Has a couple very annoying issues.

*2021-07-20*

1. Equipment and Building “Documents”. As seen in the screenshots for the app. There is an option for saving “photos” and “documents”. In the photos section there is a “camera shaped” button that makes this possible. In the documents section, there is nothing. No “+” button or anything! It’s very frustrating because the app shows a screenshot with “(1) Document” but there is actually no way to add them in. This would be SO useful if I could add manuals for equipment, or maps of some of the large buildings I service. Unfortunately there “add document” button does not exist…

2. If you make the mistake of trying to use the “sync” feature while not paying for the outrageous membership for syncing your data. It will now pop up every time you open the app even if you hit “don’t remind me”. Just annoying.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!!

*2015-04-14*

I used to keep a spreadsheet to track A/C units and their maintenance. That was very messy. Equipment Locator is convenient and organized. This app has everything: customizable inputs, photos, you can even load documents like installation manuals. I'll never go back to the cumbersome method I started with. Carmel software has many high powered apps for the HVAC tech. Carmel customer support is top notch. Lots of training videos and very fast, informative responses to questions.

### 5/5 — HVAC Instructor Sheet Metal Local  10

*2015-03-25*

I have been using Equipment Locator since it's release. I am very satisfied with it's performance along with update upgrades that increasingly has improved performance.

With Equipment Locator, I am able to recall a complete history on a peice of equipment with all information like model#, Serial #, location and best of all, information that increases productivity that includes filter sizes, belt sizes and service history. Instead of trying to recall information to do a planned service located many miles away, I just pull out my Iphone, click on the company and instantly I have all the information I need. Another feature is  the ability to select "closest to me" to locate customers that are in my area. When I complete a service call and have extra time at the end of the day,  I look at my list and perform a  yearly scheduled clean and check saving time and money.

I have introduced this app to my apprentices and instead of the old notes in the back pocket notebook, they pull out their Iphone and a complete service history is presented to the customer, with photos.

 One other benefit with Equipment Locator is cloud storage, a must for backing up data and access to all techs data at the office for information I need and that all techs can share. No longer do they need to make a phonecall to get the history but is available instantly for those permitted access. When I am on a large mall, I have a overhead view which allows me to INSTANTLY locate customers equipment without knowing the store layout. Once you have been there before, the GPS information is stored for furure reference. You can literaly start walking along the 1500 ft mall roof and select "Closest to Me" the equipment closest to me is listed and when the one I am after appears on top of the listI am at the customers location.  I am there saving lots of timeby not having to trying to find store names on the disconnects that has been worn off over time.

It is a hugely beneficial to upgrade to cloud storage as the cost is easily recovered with increased prioductivity and data safety if a tech loses ther Iphone or the employer needs past information for customeres.

A happy Equipment Locator fan

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2015-02-25*

I’ve used this app for a number of months and it’s proven very useful in the field, allowing me to keep track of all my equipment and maintenance.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-08-14*

The Locator app is extremely useful for keeping track of equipment and maintenance at various locations. Great app, easy to use. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars!

### 5/5 — This upgrade is a vast improvement

*2014-08-14*

I wasn't a huge fan of the previous UI, but I still used it because the functionality was solid and did what I needed it to do. 
The upgraded UI is so much cleaner, intuitive and consistent on both my iPhone and iPad.
My only knock on it would be that it doesn't have a way to perform a global search on all equipment. This is a nitpick, I know.

### 5/5 — Good hvac app

*2014-08-13*

I use this app to track all my  preventive maintenance. It does a good job of storing that info and also any photos. I then sync back to the office so I can view it on my desktop. Very useful.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2014-08-13*

I use this app on all my jobs to store information about equipment and share it with other techs at my company. It’s easy to use and so powerful. One of the most useful apps I have.

### 5/5 — The update is amazing

*2014-08-06*

I love the new update to the Locator app. It allows me to organize equipment by building, upload multiple photos and documents for equipment, and also customize my input screens so I can enter the exact information I need. 

I use this app daily for my maintenance and it’s really changed the way I do business. Great job!
