Commercial Chiller Installation in Los Angeles (Air‑Cooled & Water‑Cooled)

Air‑Cooled vs. Water‑Cooled: We Design What Fits Your Building

Air‑Cooled chillers are ideal for rooftops and sites seeking lower first cost and simpler maintenance. Water‑Cooled chillers paired with cooling towers excel in larger facilities where superior efficiency, capacity, and acoustics matter. Our team evaluates load profile, available electrical and water service, roof structure, noise limits, and life‑cycle cost to recommend the right path. If you’re replacing an aging chiller, we’ll match or improve capacity while shrinking energy spend and downtime.

Who We Serve

We deliver commercial chiller installations for high‑rises, medical and life‑science facilities, data centers, hotels, schools, retail centers, industrial plants, and mixed‑use properties across Los Angeles and surrounding counties. We specialize in big, complex projects where engineering rigor and tight coordination make the difference.

Our Design‑Build Process

• Discovery and site survey: load profiling, risk assessment, and feasibility for Air‑Cooled and Water‑Cooled options.
• Engineering: ACCA/ASHRAE load calculations, equipment sizing, BIM coordination, seismic anchorage details, and noise/vibration mitigation.
• Code and compliance: Title 24 and CALGreen, local AQMD requirements, EPA 608 refrigerant management, and CARB low‑GWP guidance.
• Permitting: LADBS and regional authorities, with plan‑check support to keep your schedule moving.
• Controls and BMS: BACnet/Modbus integration, optimized setpoints, staging, pump VFDs, and alarm strategies for uptime and efficiency.
• Water‑side excellence: condenser water system design, cooling tower selection, water treatment program, drift eliminators, and Legionella risk management best practices.

Installation and Commissioning

We phase work to minimize business disruption, coordinating rigging and crane picks, temporary cooling if needed, and safe demo of existing equipment. Factory‑supported start‑up, test‑and‑balance, and functional performance testing verify that capacity, efficiency, and controls logic meet design intent. Your team receives O&M manuals and hands‑on training before turnover.

Energy Efficiency That Pays Back

Expect right‑sized chillers, variable‑speed compressors and drives, high‑efficiency pumps/fans, heat‑recovery options, and optimized control sequences that lower kWh and kW demand charges. We help capture available utility incentives and tax deductions where applicable, turning smart engineering into real savings over the life of your plant.

Brands and Expertise

Our 4th‑generation team brings 80+ years of engineering know‑how. We are factory‑trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier, and we work with specifications from leading chiller manufacturers to meet project requirements and owner standards. Whether your project calls for Air‑Cooled scroll/screw chillers or Water‑Cooled centrifugal/磁 oil‑free options, we align equipment to your goals for reliability, acoustics, footprint, and efficiency.

Controls, Monitoring, and Uptime

We integrate chillers, pumps, towers, and air handlers into your BMS for unified control and trending. Remote monitoring, fault detection, and alerting help prevent surprises. Should an issue arise, our rapid‑response service teams provide 24/7 support to protect occupants, products, and processes.

Safety, Quality, and Documentation

Licensed, bonded, and insured, #1 AC Guys follows strict QA/QC procedures and jobsite safety protocols. We deliver submittals, as‑builts, commissioning reports, and training logs so facilities and compliance teams have everything they need from day one.

Maintenance That Extends Equipment Life

Choose a preventive or predictive maintenance plan with vibration trending, oil analysis (where applicable), tube cleaning, water treatment monitoring, refrigerant leak checks, and seasonal optimization. Proper care safeguards warranties, preserves efficiency, and extends equipment life.

Service Area

Based in Los Angeles, we serve Los Angeles County and nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. From DTLA and the Westside to the Valley, the South Bay, and neighboring cities, our teams are ready to mobilize quickly.
