More specialized HVAC tools can be found in this section of our HVAC tool list. They are critical to the technician's ability to perform their tasks efficiently. HVAC companies will provide these advanced tools to ensure that their customers' equipment continues to remain in good working condition.

It can be difficult to notice a leak if it is not visible, by which time it is too late. HVAC technicians use leak detectors to detect moisture in order to quickly locate the source of the leak. 

Vacuum pump

All moisture and air must be removed to charge the HVAC system with refrigerants. Carrying out the process of evacuating the pipes, you must have a high-quality vacuum pump on hand. Charging a system with leaks, on the other hand, can result in a waste of both money and refrigerant. The sucking ability of vacuum pumps allows them to detect even the smallest leaks in the pipeline.

Nitrogen Regulator  

A nitrogen regulator, which acts as a pressure control valve, converts highly pressurized gas and liquid into usable form. Due to the high pressure, the gas or liquid can be released all at once if a nitrogen regulator is not used.

Humidity probe

Humidity levels must be kept under control for HVAC unit maintenance. Previously, these humidity levels were measured with a sling psychrometer,     which detects the evaporative temperature change on the bulb's thermometer. Sling psychrometers have been phased out in favor of more reliable and precise psychrometers in recent years.  

Digital Manifold 

The manifold gauge is another important piece of equipment that is frequently used in HVAC work. This device has two to four ports that control and regulate the flow of refrigerant. A manifold gauge can be used to measure the high and low pressures in the system as you charge or evacuate the refrigerant. The AC unit is connected to a port on the manifold, allowing you to adjust the unit's pressure configuration on either the high- or low-pressure sides.

HVAC tools for safety

 Protecting service techs’ health and safety on the job and your HVAC customers is a top priority. Here are some specific safety items on your complete HVAC tools list.

• HVAC technicians must wear gloves every day, so they must be not only comfortable but also effective. Look for a pair of tough gloves that are thick enough to provide protection while still allowing enough movement to hold smaller tools.

• Another piece of protective equipment that has become increasingly important for the safety of technicians and customers is a face mask. Make sure technicians keep a variety of masks in their vehicles and dispose of them after they've been worn.

• Certain tasks performed by your HVAC technicians may result in small bits of debris kicking up. A pair of magnification goggles allows service technicians to see smaller components more clearly. This reduces the possibility of errors. 

• Some power tools are extremely loud, and repeated use can damage your ears and impair your hearing. Earplugs of industrial strength will suffice to protect your technicians' ears.

• Our final recommendation on this HVAC tools list is just as important as the others. HVAC technicians will be required to walk on a variety of terrains as they travel between job sites. This implies that they must wear appropriate footwear. Heavy steel-toed boots keep your field personnel from slipping and protect their feet from falling objects.
