We typically recommend having your handheld weather station sent back for re-calibration every 2-3 years and your trailer based weather station every 1-2 years. You can easily verify the calibration date on your handheld weather station by turning the unit on and looking at the date on the initial startup screen.

To have your unit re-calibrated, simply ship the unit to our office and include a note that has your name, phone number and a brief description of what you would like us to do. The re-calibration typically costs $110 for handhelds and $155 for trailer based. Weather station updates and re-calibration will take around a week.

To have it re-calibrated, simply send it back to us with a note including your Name, Phone and that you want the unit calibrated.
