Burbank Commercial University Chiller Plants – Bosch Service & Upgrades

Why campuses in Burbank choose #1 AC Guys

We are a family business in Southern California, now in our fourth generation of engineers with 80+ years of engineering experience. For Burbank universities and commercial campuses, that depth means fewer surprises, faster decisions, and safer execution on complex central plants. We service and integrate Bosch chillers (air‑cooled, water‑cooled, and heat‑pump configurations) along with cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, and controls. Our factory training includes Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China), and we apply that rigorous mindset to every chiller plant we touch.

• Engineer‑led diagnostics, estimates, and project management
• Phased work sequencing to avoid class and lab disruption
• Title 24, CALGreen, and campus standards documentation
• 24/7 emergency response, clear communication, and safe worksites
• Measurement & Verification support and utility rebate guidance

Design‑build and retrofit expertise

From modernization to decarbonization, we deliver turnkey upgrades that raise reliability and reduce total cost of ownership. We right‑size equipment using measured data, select efficient Bosch units where appropriate, and optimize the entire water‑side from towers to terminal devices.

• Load studies, lifecycle cost analysis, and redundancy planning (N+1)
• Heat‑pump chiller applications for electrification and heat recovery
• Cooling tower upgrades, variable‑speed fans, and water‑side economizer strategies
• Pumps, VFDs, differential‑pressure reset, and accurate valve authority
• Primary‑secondary and variable‑primary flow conversions
• Plate‑and‑frame heat exchangers, strainers, and bypass engineering
• Thermal energy storage integration and chiller sequencing
• Prefabrication and just‑in‑time delivery to minimize campus disruption

Controls, BAS integration, and plant optimization

Our engineers collaborate with facilities and IT to integrate the chiller plant with your BAS using open protocols (e.g., BACnet). We write clear sequences of operation and tune control loops for stable, efficient performance across weather and load swings.

• Automated chiller staging and condenser water reset
• Supply temperature and delta‑T optimization to stop low‑ΔT syndrome
• Pump VFD tuning, setpoint trim & respond, and demand limiting
• Continuous trending, fault detection, and analytics‑driven maintenance
• Secure remote monitoring and clear dashboards for campus teams

Preventive maintenance and emergency service

Reliable academic calendars demand reliable plants. Our PM programs are built for uptime and indoor environmental quality. We maintain Bosch chillers alongside all major plant components and document every step for compliance and budgeting.

• Seasonal startup/shutdown and chilled‑water reset verification
• Tubing inspection and cleaning, eddy current testing as needed
• Refrigerant and oil analysis, leak detection, and charge optimization
• Vibration analysis, pump alignment, bearing and seal care
• Water treatment coordination and corrosion control
• Controls backups, firmware management, and alarm triage
• Critical spares planning and CMMS‑ready service records

Compliance, safety, and documentation

We engineer for code compliance and campus safety from day one. Submittals, as‑builts, commissioning reports, sequence narratives, and M&V packages are delivered cleanly and on time. We coordinate permitting and environmental requirements, and we align to campus construction standards and infection‑control measures where labs and health spaces are involved.

Local knowledge and service area

Based in Los Angeles, we regularly serve Burbank campuses and nearby communities across Los Angeles County, with rapid dispatch into Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. We understand local utility programs, seasonal climate patterns, and the expectations of campus stakeholders—from facilities to finance.
