Bluon announced the launch of PartsConnect, a new feature within Bluon’s App and FSM plug-in that is designed to help technicians and contractors locate and purchase compatible replacement parts sold by their preferred local suppliers. Powered by Bluon’s equipment intelligence, PartsConnect delivers a solution to the historically time-consuming and frequently inaccurate process of finding and buying compatible replacement parts for specific HVAC equipment. 

“Our customers have been asking for this feature for years,” said Peter Capuciati, CEO of Bluon. “Identifying compatible replacement part options is hard enough, but trying to determine if a local distributor carries any of those compatible options has historically been a massive friction point for HVAC shops. We believe we have finally cracked the code to this enormous challenge”

PartsConnect addresses several problems that are well-known to HVAC techs and contractors, including frustrations with sourcing parts that are no longer manufactured, uncertainty about whether a substitute part will work properly and dependence on a supplier’s counter staff to do the research to help identify compatible options.

“Enabling contractors to go straight from a scan of a unique model number being worked on to instantly see what compatible parts are sold by their local distributors is a game changer for HVAC,” said Capuciati. “PartsConnectTM is a huge step forward in the pursuit of helping contractors and their technicians making each job as profitable as possible.”
