Klein Tools recently introduced two new Klein HVAC meters, the ET05 and ET110. The Klein ET05 is a digital pocket thermometer that measures air, surface, or liquid temperature. The Klein ET110 carbon monoxide meter measures temperature as well as detects and measures concentration levels of carbon monoxide. Our HVAC Pro and Electrician friends will probably want to check these two new Klein HVAC meters out, so let’s take a closer look.
“These two new HVAC products are our answer to professionals’ need for quick, easy-to-read measuring tools while on the job. The ET05 thermometer is our first pocket thermometer that can provide quick temperature readings to help monitor a part, system, or area. The ET110 carbon monoxide meter gives tradespeople a reliable meter to keep them safe from dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. Professionals will rely on these easy-to-use measurement tools that are sure to come in handy every day.”

New Klein HVAC Meters Features
Often overlooked among the sea of drills, saws, and even clamp meters are tools for the folks who work on our air quality and keep us cool when it’s hot or hot when it’s cold – the HVAC Pros. There are only so many layers you can put on when you’re inside or only so many minutes you’ll spend sweating while sitting at your computer on an early Florida summer morning (true story) – before you realize how valuable this work is to your comfort. Fortunately, Klein has motivated us to showcase some tools of the trade with two new Klein HVAC meters: the ET05 and ET110.
Klein ET05 Digital Pocket Thermometer
First up is the Klein ET05 Digital Pocket Thermometer with a robust feature set for a wide range of temperatures measured in both scales with a backlit display, the ability to toggle between the data it collects, a stainless steel probe with a protective sheath that still allows ambient temperature measurement, and much more.
This most necessary tool of the trade looks like a compact but strong offering that will fit right in not just in an HVAC Pro’s tool bag for when an IR thermometer isn’t the best tool.

Klein ET10 Carbon Monoxide Meter
Second is the Klein ET110 Carbon Monoxide Monitor, an important safety to determine the parts per million (PPM) of the colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can be downright deadly.
It’s so important to know that you’re breathing air with a safe level of CO that real estate contracts now include provisions about it just as they do with lead-based paints. Klein’s new meter has visual and audible alarms (which can be muted) and what looks to be an easy-to-use interface with backlit display for detecting any dangerous air.
