Can you use this to check the air temperature coming from the heat or A/C vents? And make sure it is not the temp of the vent itself but the air.

The solid material (inluding the adjustable air vanes and ducts), surrounding area it will average the temperature. Cold / hot air comes in contact, it will average out.

Absolutely,that was my sole purpose for this purchase and I have been using it since I turned unit on this summer with incredible accuracy

Great question. I don't believe so. It will show the temp. of whatever is reflecting off of behind the vent. or the vent itself. However, after a short time the vent will probably be the temp. of the air passing through it. Not much mass and it will heat (or cool) fairly quickly. I have never checked for accuracy of the recorded measurement though if you are trying to get an accurate #. I use it for differences in temperature of surrounding items. Hot bearings or for leaks in a wall or roof where water soaked material will make the temp. different than the surrounding area.

Not really. It only checks temperatures of surfaces; which it does very well.

I used it for my car as a coolant temp sensor, but yes it is just a Thermometer, it will tell you the temperature of everything, whether it is ambiant air temps or liquid temps the sensor doesn't care. As far as I can tell it is quite accurate too.

Yes. We put one on the outside of our kitchen window so that we can read the outside temperature before we go out of the house. It works.

Why would you want to? This is to detect humidity and turn on an exhaust fan to get the humidity out.

No. It only measures surface temps. On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

It only has one temp probe input, so if you ONLY wanted to monitor the oven, then yes. If you wanted to monitor your food and the oven temp, you would need a monitor with dual inputs. There might be better temp probes for the job though (check the thermoworks website for options), the needle probe is not ideally suited for measuring air temp, but it does do the job.

Highly doubtful, used by Heating and cooling people more so to check air tempatures. Electrician rarely has to check the tempature of anything. Hope this helps.

Yes it can. I used it at work also to make sure the ovens were at exact temp.

It should show room temp...Turn ac or heat off for awhile and it should change...

The thermocouples that come with the unit measure ambient air temps. You can purchase from them a pipe clamp temperature lead if you need to measure the surface temp of one of your refrigerant lines.

yes, it can be used for detecting human, ambient and other hot(maybe cold) object's temperature.

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

Yes. Only problem is that you must use it in the exact angle or it won't read the correct temperature.

As long as it is in water yes. It is not prepared to measure air temperature.

Depends on how close it is to the heat source and what the air temperature is at that location. Try it and check the wires closely for a few days, especially after some serious driving.

Yes you can. You can even view the external temperature but I think that is taken from whatever the temperature report in your zip code is at the moment. I use this for my cottage.

Depends on what you mean. It would measure airflow speed at its sensor, in the direction the sensor it pointing. The impeller is quite sensitive and I would think might be adequate for air speeds relevant to HVAC, but please keep in mind I am not a HVAC professional. It would NOT of course measure airflow volume directly. I think one of the air speed readout settings is feet per second, if those are the units most relevant for HVAC in the US.
