Aloha All,
With so many meters and varous price ranges I need recommendation on the brand or type. Could you recomend an inexpensive and reliable moisture meter?
A NaCHI mini course of the day discussed checking AC temperature of coils. What type of thermometer is used?

Christine,
This one is great. I like it.

If you find a cheaper price elsewhere, Contact Jon Williams from Professional Equipment at 1-800-334-9291. He'll meet or beat any competitors pricing.

Christine,
I agree with David--the Delmhorst BD-2100 is a fine unit. Although I haven't had mine too long, it works well and appears to be able to take the "oopses" quite nicely. The manufacturer has been around for close to 60 years, and I bought my first Delmhorst (as a government engineer) almost 25 years ago. As for your question on checking A/C coil temperature, there are many infrared thermometers out there; I've used my Raytek to check just about everything, and it seems to work well. Haven't checked any A/C coils lately--the snow is just over 6-1/2' deep in the backyard right now.

Tramex Moisture Encounter Plus works for me. I got it from Tool Experts but bought it through AHIT for a discount. It is a non-destructive type that has no probes. Worth the extra money because it detects moisture behind bathroom tile and such just by laying it on the surface.

I'm looking for a different moisture detection toy. I just ordered the Tramex Encounter Plus. I'm going to see how good this tool really is.

I don’t have the “plus”, but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed at how easily you can move the meter along walls and other areas. Keep us updated!
