Understand what your heat pump is doing, optimize how it runs, and fix what you safely can. HeatPump AI answers from your own model's manufacturer manual — error codes resolved from the real fault table, settings advice with the menu labels your panel actually prints, and an honest line on when to call a certified technician. Never forget the filter again. HeatPump AI reminds you when it is time to clean the air filter, check the outdoor unit before winter, or book the annual service — on a schedule taken from your own model's manual. Tap the reminder and the manual's instructions open right there. Free, on your device, no account needed. • Error-code lookup: enter the code your unit shows and get the manufacturer's meaning instantly. Free. • Manual browsing: the owner-manual facts for your model, organised and searchable. Free. • AI diagnosis: describe the problem, add photos of the unit or its display, and get step-by-step guidance in plain language. • Live Guidance: on supported models, point the camera at the control panel or remote and be guided through the menus. • Settings advice: ask what your model's settings should be for comfort and efficiency. • Technician handoff: when a job needs a certified professional, get a drafted problem summary to email and find installers nearby. Brands covered today include Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Daikin, ComfortZone, Toshiba and Gree. See the full model list in the app. Available in English, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. Safety first: HeatPump AI never guides you through refrigerant, mains-electrical or gas work. Those are always routed to a certified technician. Answers are generated by AI and can be wrong. Verify before acting. AI diagnosis uses credits purchased in the app; error-code lookup and manual browsing are free.
