Tools of the Trade
Recommended tools for HVAC professionals.
Digital Manifold Gauge Set
Read system pressure and corresponding saturation temperatures. Use only with the refrigerant and service procedures specified for the equipment.
Refrigerant Recovery Machine
Recover refrigerant into an approved cylinder before opening a sealed system, following applicable EPA and equipment procedures.
Vacuum Pump
Evacuate air and moisture from a sealed system after repairs; pair with a micron gauge to verify evacuation.
Micron Gauge
Measure deep vacuum directly so evacuation can be verified rather than estimated from pump runtime.
Clamp Meter
Measure electrical current and check voltage or continuity on equipment circuits within the meter ratings.
Temperature Clamp Probes
Measure line temperatures to support system checks; insulate the probe from surrounding air for a stable reading.
