We’ve been busy at Fieldpiece this year. We started our company with the idea that every HVACR professional in the field needs the best HVACR tools possible. So, we have spent the last 30 years perfecting our tools by taking the pulse of techs, studying where we could improve and creating new, innovative solutions. 

Next year, we plan to continue developing new product innovations for HVACR technicians in the field to make their lives even easier. First, we’d like to go over a few of our latest products to hit the market. 

Our two newest leak detectors truly raise the bar when it comes to sensitivity, reliability and durability. The Infrared Refrigerant Leak Detector, DR82 and the Heated Diode Refrigerant Leak Detector, DR58 are portable, powerful leak detectors that run for 10-18 hours per charge. They also have a bright blue backlit LCD screen that is easy to read and understand even in the darkest crawlspace. If you’re looking for a leak, you need one of these!  

We also introduced a new generation of vacuum pumps! Our all-new Fieldpiece VPX7, VP87 and VP67 replaced the former models, offering even more reliability and speed. Built to cut back evacuation time, the latest pumps handle the demands of any jobsite, allowing you to get more work done and quickly. While all three models feature four in-line ports and our patented RunQuick® Oil Change System, each does offer something unique. From CFM flow rate options (10 CFM/8 CFM/6 CFM) to weight preferences (24 lbs. or 27 lbs.) – techs have the ability to pick the perfect pump suited for their needs. To enable an easier oil change, each pump comes with an extra oil bottle storage that makes it convenient to access Fieldpiece oils!    

If you’re pulling a vacuum, you’re going to want a top-of-the-line vacuum gauge. The Wireless Vacuum Gauge, MG44 is the best. Along with being rugged enough to handle the field, it’s packed with all the features you need and it’s wireless. That means it works seamlessly with the Job Link® System App and our Fieldpiece SMAN® Refrigerant Manifold. You can also monitor evacuation measurements directly on the display. Without wires or bulky hoses, you’re free to connect your gauge directly at the system port. 

We’re proud of our newest products and they’ve all earned the right to bear the Fieldpiece name. We’re also thankful for the techs out in the field who trust our HVACR product innovations and continue to use them each and every day. 

It’s November, the month in which we all give thanks. In our industry, that means being thankful for HVACR technicians that work tirelessly to make A/C systems, furnaces, and refrigeration systems run smoothly. You keep businesses running, restaurants humming, and homes everywhere comfortable for customers.

As an HVACR technician, you work hard every day – running diagnostics and servicing or repairing systems. You do a critical job, and in many ways are unsung heroes. Yours is a unique combination of technical understanding and skill, hands-on problem-solving, and customer service.

As an HVACR technician, you may work in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration; but you are not defined by that. You are defined by who you are at the core – hard-working, versatile, accurate, confident, and reliable.

You withstand the physical rigors of the trade like creeping through crawlspaces and climbing up and down ladders, and you understand the intricate nuances involved in important jobs like re-routing restrictive ductwork, troubleshooting failing compressors, pulling a deep vacuum, and patiently searching for every tiny, refrigerant leak.

Let’s not forget about those late-night repair calls in the dead of winter you respond to without question; and thanks to techs like you, the fridge and freezer keep running through the heat of summer. Your dedication to long hours spent studying and practicing with the latest tools to ensure your skills stay current is unwavering. You always remain ahead of the innovation curve in an industry that changes every day. That’s how you stay true to the expert you are.

Thank you for not letting the broken blower fan win. Thank you for checking and then double-checking the CO levels from the furnace to ensure everyone’s safety. And thank you for keeping our houses warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and just plain cozy all year round.

The work sure isn’t easy, and the conditions are never great, but the result of your efforts are workspaces that function efficiently, restaurants that stay comfortable no matter how full they get, and homes where families gather to celebrate any time of year.

We continue to be impressed by your boundless capabilities, your consistent reliability, and your amazing versatility. You have one-of-a-kind skills, dedication, and a passion for helping others.

This holiday season, we should be reminded that our warm family gatherings are all made possible thanks to a hardworking, relentless, and talented HVACR technician.

Happy Thanksgiving!
