Why It Matters: Why Aussies Choose Uni-T (And Why You Should Too)

In Australia, our tradies and homeowners expect their tools to handle more than just the basics. Whether you’re diagnosing mains voltage in a rainy Hobart backyard or testing batteries on a dusty ACT construction site, you need a multimeter that’s reliable, rugged, and easy to use.

That’s why more Aussies are turning to Uni-T meters. They’ve built a solid reputation for providing accurate readings at a fair price, without the bells and whistles that only confuse you on the job.

One of the best bits? You don’t have to trek into a store in downtown Perth and get stuck in traffic just to grab one. You can buy multimeters online at HVAC Trade Supply, with delivery straight to your door anywhere in Australia. No dramas.

How It Works: Multimeters in Plain English

Alright, let’s demystify the multimeter. Even though they look like something out of a spaceship dashboard, they’re pretty simple when you break it down.

A multimeter measures three main things:

• Voltage (V) – how much electric potential is present.
• Current (A) – how much electricity is actually flowing.
• Resistance (Ω) – how much something resists the flow of electricity.

Some of the newer models also come with bonus features like:

• Capacitance (for testing capacitors)
• Temperature (great for HVAC work)
• Frequency and duty cycle measurements

Here’s how you use it, step-by-step:

1. Plug in the probes (black to COM, red to VΩmA).
2. Turn the dial to what you’re measuring (voltage, current, or resistance).
3. Touch the probes to your test points.
4. Read the display and take note of your measurement.

Too easy.

Aussie Buyer’s Guide & Handy Tips

Here are some local insights to help you pick the right meter and buy with confidence:

✔ Look for True RMS

If you’re testing AC circuits in homes or offices, make sure you pick a True RMS model like the UT139S. Why? It gives more accurate readings, especially with modern appliances and variable speed drives.

✔ Check the Safety Rating

For residential and commercial work, go for a CAT III or CAT IV safety-rated meter. Safer and compliant with Australian standards. Uni-T has you covered here.

✔ Choose an Aussie Supplier

Buying from an Australian-based dealer like HVAC Trade Supply means you get faster delivery, proper GST invoices, and support if anything goes wrong. No waiting weeks for something to arrive from overseas—or worse, finding out it’s a dodgy knock-off.

✔ Don’t Overpay

There’s no need to spend thousands on a name. Uni-T gives you professional-grade performance for a fraction of the price of “big-name” brands. We often recommend the UT139S as a great all-rounder for most Aussie tradies and DIYers.

Client Story: Paul from Hobart

Paul, an electrician from Hobart, shared his experience with us:

“I’d been using an old hand-me-down meter for years, and it finally carked it on a job one rainy Tuesday. Found HVAC Trade Supply online while sitting in my ute and ordered a UT139S on my phone. It arrived in Tassie two days later. Solid build, accurate, and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Couldn’t be happier.”

Cheers, Paul. Glad we could help.
