Custom-Built Tools for Your Business

Powerful, purpose-built solutions designed to streamline your workflow and solve real business challenges

Built Through Research, Designed for Your Industry

We understand that every business has unique challenges and workflows. While we don't claim to know your specific pain points or your customers' exact needs, we've done extensive research into the HVAC and hydronic systems industry to identify common bottlenecks and time-consuming processes.

These two tools represent our ability to build sophisticated, custom solutions that can transform how your team works. They're proof-of-concept demonstrations of what's possible when you combine deep industry knowledge with modern web technology.

Our goal? To show you that we can build complex, tailored tools for any need you have—whether it's automating calculations, streamlining product selection, or creating entirely new workflows that save time and reduce errors.

Quick-Spec Calculator & Cross-Reference Tool

Two powerful tools in one: instantly find replacement parts and calculate system specifications

What Problem Does This Solve?

Imagine a customer calls asking for a replacement pump. They give you a competitor's model number, but you need to find the equivalent N.H. Yates product. Or they need help sizing a hydronic system but don't have all the technical details. Traditionally, this means:

  • Searching through catalogs or spreadsheets
  • Calling engineers for calculations
  • Manual lookups that take 10-15 minutes per request
  • Risk of errors from manual calculations

This tool eliminates all of that. It's like having a technical expert and a product specialist available 24/7, instantly accessible to anyone on your team.

How It Works

Smart Cross-Reference Search

Type in any competitor's pump model (Bell & Gossett, Grundfos, Armstrong, etc.) and instantly find the N.H. Yates replacement. The search is "fuzzy"—meaning it handles typos, partial model numbers, and variations in how customers might describe products.

Example Inputs:

  • "Bell & Gossett Series 60"
  • "Grundfos UPS 15-58"
  • "Armstrong 1516"
  • "B&G 60" (partial match)

Hydronic System Sizer

Calculate flow rates, expansion tank sizes, and visualize pump performance curves—all without needing an engineering degree. Enter basic system parameters and get professional-grade calculations instantly.

Example Inputs:

  • Heating Load: 500,000 BTU/hr
  • Delta-T: 20°F (typical for hydronic systems)
  • System Volume: 100 gallons
  • Temperature Range: 50°F to 180°F

The tool automatically calculates flow rate (GPM) and recommends expansion tank size, plus shows a visual pump curve to verify the operating point.

Professional PDF Export

Generate branded specification sheets that can be emailed to customers or saved for records. All calculations and recommendations are included in a professional format.

Integrated Hydronic System Configurator

Design complete heating systems from start to finish in minutes, not hours

What Problem Does This Solve?

Designing a complete hydronic heating system typically requires multiple steps, multiple people, and multiple tools:

  • An engineer to calculate heating loads and system requirements
  • A product specialist to select compatible boilers, pumps, and expansion tanks
  • A designer to configure prefabricated skid layouts
  • Someone to compile all the information into a submittal package

This process can take hours or even days. The Integrated Configurator combines all of these steps into a single, guided workflow that anyone can use—from sales reps to engineers. It ensures compatibility between components, prevents common mistakes, and generates professional documentation automatically.

How It Works

The configurator walks users through four integrated modules, each building on the previous one:

1

Project Canvas

Start by entering basic project information: location (zip code), building type, and heating requirements. The system automatically looks up design temperatures and calculates heating loads.

Example Inputs:

  • Project Name: "Office Building - Main Floor"
  • Zip Code: "21201" (auto-fetches design temps)
  • Heating Load: 750,000 BTU/hr
  • Available Space: 96" × 48" × 96"
2

Intelligent Matchmaker

Based on the project requirements, the system automatically suggests compatible boilers, pumps, and expansion tanks. It checks flow rates, pressure drops, capacity ranges, and warns about any compatibility issues—preventing costly mistakes before they happen.

What It Does Automatically:

  • Calculates required flow rate based on heating load
  • Filters products to show only compatible options
  • Warns if selected components don't work together
  • Shows real-time pricing and availability
3

Virtual Skid Builder

For prefabricated systems, configure the physical layout of components on a skid. The system checks if everything fits in the available space and suggests optimal arrangements.

Features:

  • Visual layout configuration (horizontal or vertical)
  • Automatic fit verification
  • Generates skid dimensions and specifications
4

Submittal Generator

Once the system is configured, generate a complete submittal package with all specifications, component details, performance data, and installation requirements—ready to send to customers or contractors.

Includes:

  • Complete system specifications
  • Component datasheets and cut sheets
  • Performance calculations and curves
  • Installation and sizing notes
