What Kind of Tools Do HVAC Technicians Use?

Have you ever wondered what tools HVAC technicians use for repairs, maintenance, and installations? In this article, HVAC experts discuss which tools are essential in their tool belts. 

The type of tool needed for the job will depend on the type of HVAC system and what kind of work needs to be done. Professional heating technicians know which device is required for each job and carry a variety of tools to handle different repairs. These tools include specialized HVAC repair tools, an assortment of hand tools, and safety equipment. 

What Hand Tools Do HVAC Contractors Need on the Job?

Inside an HVAC unit is a complicated network of fans, coils, wires, nuts, and bolts. To navigate this system, HVAC contractors need to have various hand tools on them at all times. HVAC technicians will carry a flashlight or wear a headlamp to see what they are doing in low lighting. 

Hand tools used by professional heating technicians include a variety of wrenches, screwdrivers with various heads, wire and metal cutters, and pliers. For some jobs, power tools like electric drills may be needed. HVAC contractors also use staple guns to hold some components inside the unit. 

Safety Equipment 

  • Protective eyewear goggles
  • Gloves 
  • Overalls
  • Knee pads and elbow pads
  • Masks
  • Hard hats 
  • Ear protection 
  • Non-slip work boots 

The contractor may need to wear ear protection like earplugs when using power tools. AC contractors and heating technicians need to wear the appropriate gear to protect themselves from personal injury while on the job. 

Safety equipment for HVAC contractors starts with their clothing. Overalls and gloves should be worn to protect the skin. Sometimes HVAC repair requires climbing into small spaces, so some HVAC contractors wear knee pads and elbows pads to prevent bruises. 

Non-slip shoes are essential for preventing accidental slips and falls. A hard hat may be required for heating and cooling technicians working on construction sites. Some heating and cooling systems contain chemicals that could be dangerous to inhale, so HVAC technicians wear masks during repairs. 

What Kind of Specialized Tools Do HVAC Technicians Use?

Some of the tools that HVAC technicians use are unique to their profession. This includes coil fin straighteners, pumps, and leak detectors. Leak detectors are handheld electronic devices that read moisture levels inside the machine from the outside. This is handy for detecting the location of internal leaks without taking the whole unit apart. 

Specialized pumps move liquids like water and coolant from inside the HVAC unit. They may also need to carry extension chords to help power their tools and pumps. Coil fin straighteners comb the coils inside the AC unit into a straight position, which is essential for the cooling process.
