FurnaceIQ uses your equipment information, photos and symptoms to help you understand your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump — and gives you a clear next step.
Free for homeowners. Built by a 20-year journeyman HVAC/gas technician.
The FurnaceIQ workflow
Take a photo
Rating plate or the unit itself.
Equipment identified
Model, serial and specs when available.
Equipment profile
Your HVAC info, kept in one place.
Guided diagnosis
Safe questions based on your equipment.
Technician report
A clear summary to hand to a pro.
Almost no homeowner knows. Oversized furnaces short-cycle and leave rooms uneven; undersized furnaces run flat out on the coldest nights. FurnaceIQ answers a few plain-English questions about your home, combines them with your scanned furnace nameplate data, and shows you how the two compare — side by side.
Estimate only — a Manual-J-inspired screening tool, not a certified Manual J load calculation. A licensed contractor should perform a full heat-loss calculation before equipment is selected.
Furnace size check
From your scanned nameplate — 110,000 BTU/hr input at 80% AFUE
Take a photo of your equipment rating plate and FurnaceIQ can help identify the equipment and organize the information you need — model and serial number, capacity, efficiency and electrical details when available.
Equipment profile
Illustration only. Results vary with plate condition and photo quality — FurnaceIQ extracts the information it can identify.

FurnaceIQ organizes your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, thermostat and filter information so future questions can be answered in the context of the equipment you actually own.
Instead of starting from scratch every time, FurnaceIQ uses your equipment profile to make future troubleshooting more relevant — filter sizes, model numbers and saved manuals are already there when you need them.
FurnaceIQ guides you through simple questions and homeowner-safe checks while using the equipment information you've already provided. One question at a time, in plain language.
Example conversation
If FurnaceIQ detects a gas smell, CO concern, burning smell or other hazard, it stops and tells you to shut the equipment down and call a professional.
FurnaceIQ organizes your equipment information, symptoms, answers and relevant photos into a technician-ready summary you can share with a link.
FurnaceIQ Diagnostic Summary
“Furnace runs but doesn't maintain temperature.”
No hazard reported. No panels opened; no gas, combustion, refrigerant or live electrical checks performed by the homeowner.
Replace filter and re-test. If the issue persists, professional HVAC assessment recommended (airflow / heat exchanger inspection).
From a photo of your equipment to knowing whether it fits your home — and what to do next.
Take a photo of your HVAC equipment.
FurnaceIQ extracts useful equipment information when available.
Keep your HVAC equipment information organized.
Compare your home's estimated heat loss with your furnace's capacity.
Answer questions and perform safe homeowner checks.
Solve simple issues yourself, or arrive at a technician visit with better information.
FurnaceIQ sticks to homeowner-safe troubleshooting: thermostat settings, filters, vents, breakers and error codes. Gas, combustion, refrigerant and live electrical work belong to a qualified, licensed professional — and FurnaceIQ says so plainly when that's where a problem leads.
Beyond the filter door, FurnaceIQ never asks you to open equipment.
Gas smell, CO concerns, smoke or burning odours trigger a stop-and-call response.
It tells you which steps are safe for you and which need a technician.
FurnaceIQ is building a better way to connect homeowners with HVAC technicians — with the equipment information and diagnostic details already prepared.
