DuctRecon is the field operating app for HVAC technicians and shop teams who need a clear record of every service visit. Build a Field Packet from the jobsite: • Record service-site and customer details. • Confirm equipment make, model, serial number, refrigerant, capacity, and voltage. • Capture categorized evidence and technician-confirmed readings. • Complete job-specific checklists, refrigerant records, recommendations, and field-work attestations. • Resolve visible readiness requirements before finalizing a versioned packet. • Review customer-safe content before creating a PDF or signed link. • Track Field Leads and prepare verified handoffs without turning DuctRecon into a CRM. DuctRecon supports iPhone and iPad, including offline field work that synchronizes when service returns. Provider-dependent actions remain clearly unavailable until the server verifies them. A paid subscription is required after account creation and sign-in. Available plans and localized prices are shown in the app through the App Store. Every plan includes Field Leads and a monthly customer-report allowance. Additional report bundles and per-report purchases are not offered.
