Reliable humidity readings are critical for comfort, health and building performance. This Hygrometers collection brings together professional-grade Testo thermohygrometers, pocket meters and Bluetooth Smart Probes trusted by HVAC technicians, builders, facility managers and indoor air-quality consultants across Australia.
Whether you need a simple humidity meter Australia-wide for quick room checks or a fully featured temperature humidity meter for detailed reporting, these instruments give you accurate numbers, fast response and clear documentation on site.
What Our Hygrometers Measure
Most hygrometers in this range are thermohygrometers – they combine several key measurements in one tool:
- Relative humidity (%RH) – helps you control comfort, mould risk and condensation.
- Air temperature (°C) – essential for indoor climate checks and system commissioning.
- Dew point – the temperature at which condensation will form on surfaces, useful for spotting mould and corrosion risk before you see it.
- Wet-bulb temperature – handy for psychrometric calculations and checking evaporative and cooling performance.
- Data logging and app reporting – on smart models such as the Testo 605i Smart Thermohygrometer , readings stream to your phone via the Testo Smart App for live graphs and PDF reports.
Instruments like the Testo 625 Compact Thermohygrometer with Smart App and Testo 610 Pocket Sized Hygrometer offer onboard displays plus dew point and wet-bulb calculations, giving you a complete humidity picture without carrying extra gear.
Who These Humidity Meters Are For
These hygrometers are built for serious HVAC and building work, but they’re also easy enough for non-technical users to understand at a glance:
- HVAC technicians & IAQ specialists – commission and service air-conditioning, confirm return/supply conditions, and document indoor air-quality surveys for clients.
- Builders, painters & fit-out contractors – verify moisture and humidity before lining, painting or flooring to help avoid callbacks, swelling and surface failures.
- Facility managers & WHS teams – monitor humidity in offices, schools, health facilities and warehouses as part of thermal-comfort and risk-management programs.

Hygrometers & Humidity Meters for Precise HVAC Control
Dialling in humidity is just as important as getting the temperature right. Whether you’re balancing an air conditioning system, checking moisture on a building site, or troubleshooting comfort complaints, a reliable hygrometer is a must-have HVAC tool.
This collection brings together professional Testo hygrometers, thermohygrometers and humidity meters suitable for HVAC technicians, builders, facility managers, real estate and switched-on homeowners across Australia.
Why measuring humidity matters in Australian conditions
Australian climates swing from dry inland heat to coastal humidity, often in the same week. If indoor humidity drifts too high, you increase the risk of mould, dust mites and poor indoor air quality; too low and you get dry skin, irritated airways and static issues. Most health and building sources suggest keeping indoor relative humidity roughly in the 30–50% “sweet spot”, with 30–60% acceptable for comfort in many homes and workplaces.
For HVAC pros, that range isn’t a guess – it’s something you measure and verify:
- Commissioning and servicing split and ducted AC systems
- Checking humidity in offices, schools and healthcare facilities
- Verifying indoor air quality after cleaning or remediation
- Protecting sensitive equipment, archives, timber and finishes
A quality hygrometer lets you confirm that your system design, controls and zoning are actually delivering comfortable, efficient conditions – not just “feels about right”.

Hygrometers – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hygrometer?
A hygrometer is a measuring instrument that tells you how much moisture is in the air, usually shown as relative humidity in percent. Many HVAC-grade hygrometers also measure temperature, dew point and wet-bulb temperature, so you can assess comfort, condensation risk and system performance more accurately.
What is a good indoor humidity level in Australia?
Most guidance suggests keeping indoor relative humidity roughly between 30–50%, with 30–60% acceptable in many homes and workplaces. This helps limit mould growth and dust mites while still keeping the air comfortable.
Where should I place a hygrometer?
For general comfort checks, place the hygrometer in the occupied zone – typically around 1–1.5 m above the floor, away from direct sun, supply outlets and obvious drafts. For HVAC diagnostics, you might also measure supply and return air, or specific problem areas like bathrooms, bedrooms and damp corners.
Do I need data logging or a smart app?
If you are an HVAC technician, facility manager or consultant, data logging is extremely helpful for diagnosing intermittent issues and proving compliance. Smart Bluetooth hygrometers make it easy to log, graph and export readings without carrying a laptop. Homeowners doing occasional spot checks can usually get by with a simpler handheld model.
How often should a hygrometer be checked or calibrated?
Professional workflows and standards often call for regular verification or calibration, particularly for commercial and industrial sites. For everyday trade use, most customers follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and replace or service devices if readings drift or the instrument is damaged. Always refer to the specific Testo product manual for calibration guidance.
