About this product
Reads the carbon dioxide in the room, in ppm, on a desk.
A portable meter with a 0 to 5000 ppm range that also shows temperature and humidity.
A portable carbon dioxide meter that shows the current reading in ppm on a 3 inch display.
The range is 0 to 5000 ppm, which covers everything you will see indoors.
It shows temperature and humidity on the same screen.
At 0.24lb it is light enough to carry from room to room rather than leaving in one place.
It is a measuring instrument. It reports a number and does nothing about it.

Carbon dioxide indoors is mostly a proxy for ventilation. People breathe out CO2, so a rising number in a closed room usually means the air is not being changed rather than that anything is wrong with the building.

This store's own guidance cites 800 ppm as the point at which to open a window or turn the ventilation up. Outdoor air sits far below that, and a busy closed meeting room climbs past it quickly.

The meter reads from 0 to 5000 ppm, which is wider than you need for an office and useful because the top of the range is where a badly ventilated room actually goes.

Temperature and humidity share the display. That is genuinely useful context: the same room at the same ppm feels quite different at 45 percent humidity and at 70.

It is an instrument, not an alarm system and not a safety device. It tells you a number so you can decide what to do with it.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the CO2 detector read?
0 to 5000ppm. That is wider than an office normally reaches, which is useful, because the top of the range is exactly where a badly ventilated room ends up.
What is a good CO2 reading for an office?
This store's own guidance cites 800 ppm as the point to open a window or increase ventilation. We would rather give you that number and let you judge than pretend there is a single correct answer for every room.
Does it show anything besides CO2?
Temperature and humidity, on the same 3 in display. The three together tell you more about a room than any one of them does.
Is it portable?
Yes, it weighs 0.24lb, so carrying it between rooms to compare them is realistic rather than theoretical.
Is this a safety alarm?
No. It is a measuring instrument that displays a number. It is not a carbon monoxide alarm, not a fire detector and not a substitute for either.
Will it tell me if the air is unhealthy?
It tells you the carbon dioxide concentration. What that means for a particular room is a judgement, and if you have a genuine air quality concern in a workplace that is a question for a professional rather than a desk meter.
Why does the reading jump when someone walks in?
Because people breathe out CO2 and the meter is doing its job. A reading that responds to the room filling up is a working meter, not a faulty one.
Where should I put it?
At about seated head height, away from a window, a door and a vent. Next to an open window you are measuring the outside.
How is this different from the Office CO2 Meters model?
Same measurement job, different form. This one is the portable 0.24lb unit with a 3 in display for a desk. The other is the large-display model meant to be seen from across a room.
Does it need calibrating?
Follow the instructions in the box for the model you receive. The general rule with CO2 meters is that a spell in fresh outdoor air is what resets their baseline.
Can I use it at home as well as in an office?
Yes. A bedroom overnight is the reading that surprises most people, and it is a room you can do something about.
Is it mains powered or battery?
Check the instructions supplied with your unit for the power arrangement, as we would rather point you at the box than state something the product listing does not.
Is it a warehouse item?
Yes, this one is picked and packed from our own warehouse stock.
What does ppm mean?
Parts per million. A reading of 800 ppm means 800 molecules of carbon dioxide in every million molecules of air.
How much is delivery on the CO2 Detector?
Delivery is free on orders of £75 or more. Below that it is a flat £25, whatever you order. There is nothing extra added at the end.
How long will it take to arrive?
5-7 days, after a 24-48 hour handling time. The handling time is the bit before it leaves us, and the 5 to 7 days is the delivery itself.
Is there a faster delivery option?
Not at the moment. Every order goes out on the same tracked service, 5 to 7 days across the UK after the handling time. If you need something by a particular date, email us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.
Do you deliver across the whole UK?
Yes, right across the United Kingdom. We are an online supplier with no shop or showroom, which is how the pricing works.
Where does the CO2 Detector ship from?
It is picked and packed from our own warehouse stock. Either way it comes to you with tracking, and you get the tracking number by email once it is on its way.
Can I change my mind after it arrives?
Yes. You have 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, and we extend that to 15 days under our own policy. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged or faulty, in which case we cover it.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
Tell us and we will sort it. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 goods have to be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, and if they are not that is our problem to fix, not yours to pay for. Email theteam@customersupport.care with a photograph and your order number.
Do I get a receipt and a tracking number?
You get an emailed receipt as soon as payment goes through, and a second email with the tracking number once the order ships.
What payment methods do you take?
Card payments through our checkout and PayPal. Card details are handled by the payment provider and never stored by us.
What currency are your prices in?
Pounds sterling. Every price on this site is the price you pay in £, with no currency conversion at the end.
Is there a discount code?
Yes, `valued-customer` takes 15 percent off your goods at the cart. It applies to the products rather than to the delivery.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are an online supplier with no physical shop or showroom, and that is deliberate: the saving goes into the price rather than into a lease.
Can I buy several of these for an office?
Yes, and if you want more than a handful use the wholesale quote page and we will price it properly rather than making you add them to the cart one at a time.
How do I ask a question about the CO2 Detector before I buy?
Email theteam@customersupport.care and a person will answer you. We would much rather answer a question first than process a return after.
Who are you, exactly?
Home Office Company UK, a division of Caruso Consulting Co Ltd. Our UK administration office is at 33 Queen St, London EC4R 1AP. The company details are on every legal page rather than buried.
Is my order secure?
The checkout runs over an encrypted connection and we never see or store your card number. If anything about a payment looks wrong to you, email theteam@customersupport.care and we will look at it with you.
