4 Essential Tools for Boiler Repair in Essex
                     4 ESSENTIAL 
TOOLS FOR 
BOILER REPAIR IN 
ESSEX
MULTI-METER
This is the MVP of boiler troubleshooting. A multi-meter allows you to check 
voltage, current, and resistance within the boiler's electrical system. Many boiler 
problems stem from electrical faults, and a multi-meter can help identify issues like 
blown fuses, faulty wiring, or problems with the thermostat. Look for a digital multi-
meter with a clear display and auto-ranging capabilities for ease of use.
ADJUSTABLE WRENCH
Boilers often involve numerous nuts and bolts, and an adjustable wrench provides 
versatility to tighten or loosen various sized connections. This is useful for checking 
gas connections, securing components, or adjusting pressure relief valves. Having 
both a standard adjustable wrench and a smaller pair of slip-joint pliers can prove 
beneficial.
SCREWDRIVERS
Boilers incorporate a wide range of screws, from small ones securing panels to 
larger ones connecting components. Having a set of both Phillips and flathead 
screwdrivers in various sizes is imperative for accessing internal parts, removing 
panels for inspection, and potentially tightening loose screws. A magnetic tip on 
your screwdriver will help prevent dropped screws from becoming lost within the 
boiler's casing.
PRESSURE GAUGE
A crucial tool for checking the water pressure within your central heating system. A 
pressure gauge allows you to quickly check the system pressure and determine if 
it's within the manufacturer's recommended range. This can help diagnose leaks or 
other issues related to the water system, again assisting a professional should you 
need to call one.
