Commercial Chiller Installation in Anaheim (Air‑Cooled & Water‑Cooled)

Why #1 AC Guys for Anaheim Chiller Projects

As a family‑owned HVAC contractor now in our 4th generation, we bring more than 80 years of hands‑on engineering to complex commercial builds. Our mission is simple: healthier, more reliable indoor environments with smarter energy use. We serve Anaheim and all of Orange County with the depth of a central‑plant specialist and the care of a local family business. Our team is factory‑trained by manufacturers including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), and we integrate seamlessly with your existing controls, pumps, towers, and airside systems.

Air‑Cooled vs. Water‑Cooled — What Fits Your Facility

Air‑Cooled Chillers — Ideal where water use or tower placement is constrained, or when you want a simpler, lower‑maintenance plant. Fast to deploy, excellent for schools, mid‑rise offices, retail, hospitality back‑of‑house, and supplemental cooling. Modern designs with VFD compressors and free‑cooling options reduce operating costs and noise.
Water‑Cooled Chillers — Best for large loads and high efficiency at scale. Pair with cooling towers, VFD condenser water and chilled water pumps, and smart controls to achieve outstanding kW/ton performance. Common in hospitals, labs, manufacturing, and large commercial campuses where lifecycle cost is paramount.
We will evaluate your load profile, climate, acoustics, footprint, water availability, and budget to recommend the right approach — or a hybrid strategy that stages air‑cooled and water‑cooled assets for resilience and demand flexibility.

Turnkey Scope of Work

• Site assessment, load calculations, and lifecycle cost analysis
• Design‑build or plan‑spec execution with stamped drawings as required
• Rigging and crane logistics, vibration isolation, seismic anchorage per local codes
• Chilled water and condenser water piping, VFD pumps, strainers, valves, and insulation
• Cooling towers (for water‑cooled), water treatment provisions, basin heaters, drift eliminators
• Power distribution, starters/VFDs, control wiring, and BAS integration (BACnet/Modbus)
• Commissioning: pressure testing, evacuation, charging, functional testing, TAB coordination
• Documentation: O&M manuals, submittals, as‑builts, training, and start‑up reports
• Temporary cooling and phased cutovers to keep your operation running

Compliance, Safety & Rebates

We navigate Anaheim permitting and Title 24, CalGreen, and local code requirements. Our safety program covers lockout/tagout, crane plans, confined spaces, hot work, and refrigerant handling. We help identify utility incentives and tax deductions for high‑efficiency equipment and controls, and provide the metering and documentation needed to capture rebates where available.

Industries & Facilities We Serve

• Office and mixed‑use buildings
• Healthcare, clinics, and labs
• Hotels, venues, and entertainment spaces
• Manufacturing and process cooling
• Education and public sector facilities
• Data rooms and critical environments requiring redundancy

Project Delivery & Timeline

Whether you bring a full consultant set or need a turnkey partner, we align to your procurement method. Typical timelines: site walk and concept within days, preliminary design and budget in 1–2 weeks (faster for like‑for‑like replacements), long‑lead equipment secured early, and tightly scheduled construction with milestone sign‑offs. We coordinate trades, AHJ inspections, and commissioning so your team experiences a smooth, predictable handover.

Healthy Air, Efficient Plants

Our mission is healthier indoor environments. That means chillers sized to real‑world loads, stable humidity control, thoughtfully selected coils and filtration on airside equipment, and quiet operation. We design for efficiency without sacrificing comfort — leveraging heat recovery, waterside economizers, demand‑based control sequences, and modern refrigerants consistent with code.

Ongoing Service & Peace of Mind

Protect your investment with planned maintenance, water treatment oversight, vibration and oil analysis, controls optimization, and seasonal startups. We offer remote monitoring options, emergency support, and performance reviews to keep kW/ton in check and uptime high. Training for your facilities team is included at turnover.

Service Area

Based in Los Angeles and serving Anaheim and all of Orange County, we also support Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. If your project sits near county lines, ask us — our crews mobilize quickly.
