Flue Gas Analyser calibration cost

[Kestrel]

Can you tell me what is an average cost for a FGA to be calibrated annually ?

 

[plumbnuts]

It depends on the make and what else requires doing. I have found Kane to be one of the more reasonable.

GES services are good: Home - Gas & Environmental Services Ltd UK (GES) Kevin who runs it is well respected throughout the industry, ARGI members get discount too. Partscentre are fair enough also.

Telegan charged me £70 this year but no parts needed replacing. I find the Telegan service good but slow at times.

How long was you without your FGA ?
Is there an average time it takes to get it calibrated ?

Kane average about 5 days and cost £88 +vat to calibrate and £155 + vat to service/calibrate (replace O2 sensor etc which has to be done every 2nd year)

I've just sent in my Testo,and it needs new co and oxygen cell,service and calibration -£275+vat!!! I think Testo take the ****.I can buy a brand new 327 without printer for£397+vat.But I'm gunna go for a Kane 250 - £460+,apparently more robust and better on oil which i do more of.An independant heating spares outlet in South Yorkshire dont deal with Testo anymore because they had loads of complaints about the cost of the service/calibration etc..

Testo do take the p***. ring up poole calibration services. They were excellent this time with my testo 325m. They collected it and delivered once done. Testo had mine for a month last time and it was the LAST TIME i will use them!

I sent my analyser back to Testo for calibration using their so called 3 day service. They send you a label and you contact TNT for collection - all seemed good.

I emailed them today a week after they received it to ask if I was getting the calibration done free (as they offer) as it wasn't done in 3 days. They emailed me back to say they quotation for cal was issued today, and under their terms & conditions they have 3 days once I accept their quotation!

****! if they were busy they could hold on to it for a month before issuing a quotation. The quote came back at £90 odd inc vat.

Don't they realise we cant really function without these instruments? I had to go and buy an a water gauge (couldn't find my old one) as I rely on the analyser for tightness tests as well.

Is poole calibration services pooleinstruments.co.uk ?

When i bought the Kane 455 kit I was told all annual services for the kane products have to be sent to kane themselves to be done, so it's cheapest to go with the kane 5 year service plan for I think £88 a year
