Professional Equipment Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas Detector

Comments about Professional Equipment Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas Detector:

Wanted to use to monitor ambient CO during CAZ testing. I found the continuous chirping annoying and would prefer no noise until 35 ppm. After using it twice the unit would no longer zero and was more or less useless.

I have used this detector in my home inspections for a couple of years now. Recently gave readings of around 600 at a furnace supply vent so I reported it as "elevated C/O levels"

Seller had a HVAC specialist check and reported no C/O levels.

So now I don't trust it.......
Will probably upgrade.

I have yet to measure any high CO locations

For the price I paid, it's not a bad unit. The Zero adjustment is nearly impossible to hold. I repair Residential Appliances and HVAC/R. Works fine for checking the CO level of a range and around vents and units to just make sure there are no major issues. If you have a need for a daily and accurate machine, get a more advanced unit. If you are just checking and being cautious, this will work just fine for you.

You get what you pay for. This unit was of such low quality that I immediately called for a Return Authorization Number. Spend a little more on a reliable and professional grade meter. This one isn't it.

My CO alarm went off periodically and I was never sure whether there was an issue with the battery or the unit was faulty of if there was an actual alarm condition. It turns out that the alarm was just very sensitive to CO levels and the only way for me to find this out was to get the CO detector. Now I can get accurate, detailed readings anytime I want. Definitely worth the price for piece of mind alone.

It was recommended to me by a business competitor whom I trust.

Does not zero, reading jumps around while trying to take reading, slow to respond and not good for inspector use.

I do energy audits and I use it to monitor CO levels in the living space while performing backdraft tests in the CAZ. I like the audible because I can hear it from downstairs. So, the rig is great ! can't say the same about the "free gift", a carabiner clip that was DOE out of the box, probably why they were giving them away :-)
