Tony G. w/ Fieldpiece joins Bryan for a chat at AHR 2023; this time, they're talking about training and combustion, and they share some general thoughts about the event.

Fieldpiece makes quality tools due to their engineers' philosophy; they develop solutions to problems, not just products, which means they aim to understand the real-life field applications of the tools they develop.

Fieldpiece also develops training programs that aim to prepare new technicians to enter the field. The programs train contractors and technicians to use best practices, but there are also some programs aimed at distributors to make them more technologically proficient. When everyone in the supply chain has some degree of technical proficiency, they can understand each other's work and communicate with each other.

Fieldpiece has also partnered with SkillsUSA to promote trades education to young people and give out scholarships. It also has its own relatively new online training program, Fieldpiece University. The idea is to give technicians and contractors just-in-time education.

Tony also talks a bit about the Fieldpiece ambassador program, which is a network of independent trainers who get trained on Fieldpiece products; these ambassadors will also take a course with Eugene Silberstein at ESCO to develop their teaching skills. (If you are interested in working with a Fieldpiece ambassador, send an email to training@fieldpiece.com.)

Some new products on the market include Fieldpiece's combustion analyzer. The product development team has worked to reduce the cost of maintaining the combustion analyzer over its lifespan and maximize its uptime; Fieldpiece uses patented technology to seal the oxygen and CO sensors upon powering off the analyzer, which prevents degradation over time. The sensors are also replaceable in the field and can be calibrated by Fieldpiece without sending the entire tool back to the manufacturer. There is also no need for a water trap in Fieldpiece's new combustion analyzer.

Tony also talks about combustion analysis as an added service for markets that don't have a lot of gas furnaces (but that may have gas pool heating and some degree of gas heating). Fieldpiece's training and product development efforts make informed combustion analysis possible. The Fieldpiece CAT85 can also measure draft pressure and contains a dual-port manometer to allow technicians to measure gas pressure or static pressure all in one tool.

Tony also answers an audience question about older heated diode leak detectors' ability to detect the new refrigerants. Fieldpiece leak detectors are indeed capable of picking up new refrigerants. Heated diode leak detectors must be replaced over time due to sensor degradation. Infrared sensors are typically less likely to pick up false positives and have longer lifespans, and the sensitivity does not degrade over time.
