| Recalibration Costs and Return Form-Reminder | |
Recalibration of your DG-700 or DG-500 gauge is important part of maintaining your Minneapolis Blower Door and Duct Blaster systems. The cost of gauge recalibration has been $50 for a number of years. Effective October 1, 2010 the cost of recalibration increased to $75. The cost of recalibrating an APT changed from $75 to $100. Normal turnaround time at our facility for recalibration is 3 to 5 days. Repairs may take longer. You can find more information about calibration and repair for all Energy Conservatory products at our website.
We have also added a new Equipment Return Form to help speed up the transaction once you send something in for calibration or repair. The link for the form is here. This form will help us quickly find your company in our computer system and ensure that we are performing the services you need and returning the equipment to the right location.
For those that have a number of gauges and want to find out if their any of their gauges needs to be sent in for recalibration, you might want to check out the following procedure. The next time you have a gauge recalibrated, before you send it back out into the field, arrange time to check the newly calibrated gauge against the other gauges in your office. Make sure you keep records of these calibration checks for future reference. |
