Meet Our Team Members

Chris is a Field Product Manager here at Discovery Sound Technology. He’s been in the HVAC industry for sixteen years and has been with us here at DST for one. Chris has been hard at work helping to provide our clients with unique and objective information about their equipment and preventing failures.

Chris finds that one of the major misconceptions around DST is that it’s difficult to pick up or that there’s an impossible amount to learn. “[It’s] very intuitive and easy to catch on,” he reports. “Onboarding is simple,” he continues. “[You] just need to be trained on how to use equipment and the app, while being trained in a real working environment.” The easy and intuitive use of DST’s technology doesn’t just make it simple for our technicians to pick up– it also makes it incredibly practical and easy to use for our clients!

A Day’s Work in Preventative Maintenance

Each day we use our ultrasound diagnostic technology to provide a wide array of benefits to our various clients, including early detection of mechanical problems, fast results with real time feedback, quantitative analysis, and more. “You can take ultrasound readings on mechanical equipment and plan for future repairs [or replacement] months in advance,” said Chris. “[You can] see failures two years down the road before they even happen.”

A day in DST involves working with a lot of different kinds of equipment, including doing seasonal inspections on HVAC rooftop units or monitoring refrigeration systems for valve head issues that might damage compressors, for example. Our technicians take readings from the appropriate locations and utilize the AI technology of the DSTMOBILE app to analyze the ultrasound readings they pick up to produce the information (comprehensive reporting) that our clients rely on to keep their equipment running smoothly

Why Choose DST?

Of course, ultrasound technology isn’t the only form of predictive maintenance out there. There are other, more traditional methods that you might rely on in your industry, but by doing so, you’re missing out on earlier warning & factual condition insight that DST has to offer you.

For example, a spring or summer inspection of a rooftop HVAC unit using traditional PM methods can take up to an hour, with a process requiring over thirty different steps, whereas the same inspection using DST is half as complicated and only takes about thirty minutes to complete. That’s 50% less time to perform the same job, expanding your capabilities to take on more work and broaden your business.

Additionally, DST is simple and quick, making it a cost-effective option that can not only save you money on diagnostics, but also help you prevent failures and reduce downtime by detecting issues far in advance. The quicker you locate an issue and solve it, the less time and money it takes.

Many clients that you’ll deal with in your work are likely behind or past due on their preventive maintenance schedules. DST can help to resolve that problem with its fast and easy process. The process is patented and scientifically proven to reduce the amount of time needed to adequately do preventative maintenance on a piece of equipment. DST is even safer for techs to use, allowing them to run scans without climbing up onto equipment and putting themselves in dangerous situations.

In short, the power of DST is something that will only help your business get better! It sounds as if it might be too good to be true, but you really can have these benefits for your business. The best way to understand or experience it…. Is to try it in a 90 day demonstration.
