Tools Needed for HVACHVAC=Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

• Gauges can help measure the pressure of an HVAC system. Some gauges are designed for residential projects, while others are designed for commercial and industrial projects.

• Hammer is a tool used by technicians to complete work such as adding an air distribution system. Ideal hammer handles are sturdy and made of fiberglass or wood. One type of hammer is a duct hammer.

• Pliers provide good holding power when HVAC technicians work and can be used for bending wires or holding small items. Technicians performing pipe work may use vise-grips, which allows pipes to lock.

• Screwdrivers are common tools used in air conditioning and heating work. Two types of screwdrivers are ones with steel shafts and those with tempered tips.

• Wrenches can loosen or tighten bolts and nuts. Some technicians use the ratchet-type box wrench for saving time. Refrigeration technicians may use wrenches for jobs with flare nuts.
