I would recommend looking here: http:/ www.narda-sts.us/products_lowfreq_meters.php
We use a Narda meter for low frequency field emissions. The old EN 50366(now EN 62233) requires a meter like this. Those standards may also give you guidance on what typical limits are on household equipment. I won't comment on the validity of the test, but you can at least have the right equipment.

This meter will be used to determine if a certain residence is receiving too much EMF. There are power lines just outside and the residents have trouble sleeping, they have other residences where sleep is not an issue. I have looked at some 3 axis models for around $300.00, ones with data logging are more. Is frequency weighting an important feature? We are also open to renting. We have a hp spectrum analyzer/biconical antenna but that would be too unwieldy. If portable or handheld spectrum analyzer would be the better tool, this maybe an opportunity for me to purchase one. Any advice is appreciated. Models methods anecdotes...
