What Fieldpiece Instruments Inc does

Fieldpiece Instruments Inc. is a privately held, US-founded (1990, Orange, California) manufacturer of professional-grade diagnostic tools and instruments for the HVACR industry — heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. The company designs and produces digital manifolds (SMAN series), analog gauge sets, electrical multimeters and clamp meters, vacuum pumps and recovery machines, leak detectors (including the DRX3 all-in-one refrigerant/combustible gas detector), refrigerant scales, combustion analyzers, airflow and temperature/humidity instruments, digital manometers, hoses and fittings, and valve core removal tools. Its flagship Job Link wireless ecosystem pairs these instruments with a subscription-based mobile application that aggregates diagnostic data from connected sensor probes, manifolds, scales, and clamp meters for HVACR technicians.

The company's business model combines hardware sales — through a controlled network of authorized distributors and direct-to-consumer via its own website, with explicit prohibition of third-party online marketplace selling — with a recurring subscription software layer on the Job Link mobile application. More than 25% of its 51-100 person workforce is dedicated to engineering and product development, and the firm has built a meaningful patent portfolio covering vacuum pump oil management, combustion analysis, electronic refrigerant manifolds, wireless refrigerant scales, and pending applications on refrigerant recovery and wireless HVAC-R sensor probes. The company operates wholly-owned regional entities in the Netherlands (EMEA), the UK/Ireland, and Australia (APAC), and localizes its website into English, French, and Spanish, indicating an international go-to-market. Its primary customer is the professional HVACR technician; contractors are a secondary segment. The company is founder-owned, has raised no external funding rounds, and maintains GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA privacy compliance posture.
