Measuring A/C Air Temp

of those harbor freight ones, a customer went nuts, stating you cant have a gun in a sschool. i pointed it at my arm and the laser light came on and the customer went nuts till she saw the temperature read out. she believed it was a real gun.......:):)_:)

Worse, these type of creatures reproduce.

I use one from Pep Boys that they sell to measure the temp of the A/C ducts in a car. It has a 6 inch probe with a round dial attached to the end of the probe.

That was pretty much standard equipment for all AC technicians at one time and they still work fine. I went a step further and drilled tight-fitting holes in my return-air duct and supply plenum at the furnace and permanently installed one of these thermometers in each. That way I can, with a glance, see both temperatures and see from the delta how well the HVAC is doing its job. Total cost was probably around $5 and I'll never have to try to figure out where I lost them.

Same here. Drilled holes so they are permanently mounted.

Sounds like the kitchen meat thermometer I used.

That's an interesting and worthwhile idea. Like you say, it's readily visible at any time as a quick check and you don't have to go looking for thermometers, where to put them, etc.

Did you take her temperature? She wanted a big gun.

It's always "leadership" leading to poor customer service. They never look within because they always have the better idea. Coulda saved their money for the bankruptcy.

Go out immediately and buy a Fluke digital temperature meter. Measuring at the vents is only good for balancing home stuff. The real measurement is at the system; as others have noted to see if the system is working properly.
