thoughts on this combustion analyzer? Not a piece of equipment that I’ll use very often, but I have 5 natural gas/propane modcon boilers that I need checked out. I’m an electrician by trade but dabble in hydronic to help some friends out.

    There are also cheaper options on Amazon, but I have at least heard of this company before. Just looking for something basic to get the combustion set on new installs.

    I am pretty sure that it does not do CO. Don't waste your money

    I got a testo 310 including printer for that much new on woot.com

    It’s no longer there but keep your google shopping eyes open for deals like that

    I don't recommend that particular Fieldpiece analyzer. There's a good reason why Fieldpiece stopped selling it and made the CAT85 combustion analyzer. You really need something that measures CO, CO2/O2 and draft to be able to begin to analyze combustion. I use the Testo 300LL. Bacharach makes good combustion analyzers as well. The Testo 310 is a good option if you are on a budget or don't plan on using it everyday.
