Background
Field Diagnostics Services Inc. (FDSI), established in
1994, provides internationally recognized expertise for
developing leading edge monitoring and diagnostic solutions
for the HVAC&R industry. These solutions are generated
from proprietary technologies, services and products that
deliver front line decision support for technicians, contractors,
end-users, and other stakeholders. Our tools automatically
document equipment and service performance both at the
job site and via the Internet. They reliably detect and
diagnose operational problems, recommend preferred remediation,
provide repair verification and describe in dollars and
cents potential and realized benefits. FDSI
has merged the rigors of the lab with the practicality
of the real world to produce commercially viable offerings.
FDSI is fiscally sound, has no debt, while continuing to
invest in new products and services. Its employees have
