In-person measurement for Colorado Springs homes, including a room-by-room check before you buy, from a Front Range specialist based in Fort Collins.
FieldWise EMF Consulting measures Colorado Springs homes for wireless RF, AC magnetic and electric fields, dirty electricity and lighting, including homes under contract. Colorado Springs Utilities meters report over a 900 MHz network, which the RF analyzer covers. Founder Cameron Castaneda measures in person against Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines. Most Springs homes start with the Foundational Assessment, $850, and pre-purchase inspections are $500. Both include a written room by room report and an action plan call.
Colorado Springs Specifics
Colorado Springs Utilities, the city-owned utility, supplies electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, and it finished moving its customers to smart meters in 2025. CSU says the meters communicate over a secure wireless network, and its own electric standards describe the automated metering as a 900 MHz system. That sits inside the 200 MHz to 8 GHz range of the RF analyzer FieldWise uses, so what the meter adds at your bedroom wall is something we can put a number on.
A reading at the meter and in the room directly behind it, in microwatts per square meter (µW/m²), shows how much of your home’s RF comes from the meter and how much from inside, such as the router. That comparison is the useful one before deciding anything about the meter.
Instrument: Safe and Sound Pro 2 RF analyzerCSU’s tariff offers a nonstandard-meter opt-out to residential customers, for a one-time fee and a quarterly manual-read charge. It applies to all the metered services at the home, and opt-out customers cannot take part in net metering, so a household with rooftop solar has a trade-off to weigh. Measuring first shows what an opt-out would actually change in your rooms.
Instrument: Safe and Sound Pro 2 RF analyzerCSU places electric distribution underground in neighborhoods platted after 1967, which means many homes are fed from a ground-level transformer box in a yard or easement. The AC magnetic field around one falls off quickly with distance, so what matters is which room sits closest to it. If a transformer box sits outside a bedroom wall, the 24 Hour Infrastructure Assessment shows how that field changes overnight.
Instrument: Gigahertz Solutions NFA1000, 3-axisColorado Springs carries more large infrastructure than most Front Range cities. Colorado Springs Utilities runs high voltage transmission lines and substations beside many of the city’s newer neighborhoods, and Colorado Springs Airport, which shares its runway with Peterson Space Force Base, operates radar for the region’s air traffic. Power line fields rise and fall with how much electricity the neighborhood is using, so a single daytime reading can miss the peak. The 24 Hour Infrastructure Assessment logs magnetic fields through a full day and night, including while you sleep, and the Safe and Sound Pro 2 measures radar along with every other wireless signal.

Buying in the Springs
Colorado Springs is home to five military installations, Fort Carson, Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases, Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station and the Air Force Academy, and the city says about 30 percent of the region’s population includes active duty service members, veterans and military families. Households that move often also buy often, and usually on a deadline.
The Pre-Purchase EMF Inspection, $500, is a 2 hour visit scheduled inside your inspection period. Your agent arranges access with the listing agent, just like a home inspection. Call with your contract dates and Cameron will confirm a time that fits, as early in the window as possible.
Wireless signals, magnetic and electric fields, dirty electricity, wiring and grounding problems, any solar equipment, and nearby power lines, transformers, substations and cell sites, with readings at the property line. Bedrooms and the rooms you would sleep or work in come first, because that is where hours of exposure add up and where SBM-2015 is written to apply.
Your written report arrives in less than 3 days and sorts every finding into three groups: easy fixes, bigger fixes with a rough cost range, and findings that come with the property, like a nearby power line. We walk through it together on a call before your deadline. In Colorado Springs, electrical work is permitted through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.
On PCS orders or relocating from out of state? You don’t need to be there. Your agent handles access, the report comes by email, and the action plan call is by phone, so you can weigh the readings before you ever walk through the front door.

Common Questions
Who does EMF testing in Colorado Springs?
FieldWise EMF Consulting tests homes across Colorado Springs and El Paso County, including Monument, Black Forest, Fountain, Manitou Springs and Security-Widefield. Every visit uses professional instruments (the Gigahertz Solutions NFA1000, Safe and Sound Pro 2, TriField EM100, Klein CL810 and UPRTek MK350S Premium), compares your readings to Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines, and ends with a written report and an action plan call. FieldWise is based in Fort Collins and schedules Springs visits around your dates.
How much does EMF testing cost in Colorado Springs?
Most Colorado Springs homes start with the Foundational Assessment, $850. It measures all four types of EMF (wireless signals, magnetic fields, electric fields and dirty electricity) plus your lighting, and includes a written room by room report, a prioritized action plan and an action plan call. If your home is near a power line, substation or transformer, the 24 Hour Infrastructure Assessment, $1,450, logs your home for a full day and night. Buying a home? The Pre-Purchase Inspection is $500. Lighting only? The Home Light Reset is $350. Step 1 for every option is a free 15 minute call to confirm the right fit for your address. A travel fee may apply for Colorado Springs visits, depending on scheduling, and is always confirmed on your call before anything is booked.
Can you measure what my CSU smart meter adds?
Yes. CSU describes its metering network as a 900 MHz system, which the Safe and Sound Pro 2 covers. Readings at the meter and in the rooms behind it show what it contributes compared with the sources inside your home. Our smart meter EMF guide explains what is measured.
Can you assess a Colorado Springs home before we purchase it?
Yes. The Pre-Purchase EMF Inspection, $500, fits inside your inspection period. In about 2 hours it measures wireless signals, magnetic and electric fields, dirty electricity, wiring and grounding problems, any solar equipment, and nearby power lines, transformers and cell sites. Your written report arrives in less than 3 days and sorts every finding into easy fixes, bigger fixes (with a rough cost range) and findings that come with the property. We go through it together on a call before your deadline. Book as early in your inspection window as you can.
Can the inspection fit a short contract timeline?
That is what it is built for. Call (970) 436-7611 with your inspection deadline, and Cameron will tell you straight away whether a date inside it is available. Your written report arrives in less than 3 days, so booking early in your window leaves time to review it with your agent.
Is EMF testing a medical or diagnostic service?
No. We make no medical claims and cannot diagnose or treat any condition. We measure what is present in your home, compare it against precautionary Building Biology SBM-2015 guidelines, and give you practical, prioritized reduction steps.
