Burbank York University Chiller Plant Services

Modern universities depend on reliable, efficient cooling to protect students, research, and technology. In Burbank, #1 AC Guys delivers full‑stack services for York chiller plants—from design and commissioning to predictive maintenance and emergency repair—so your campus stays cool, compliant, and cost‑effective year‑round.

What we service

• York water‑cooled and air‑cooled chillers (all capacities)
• Cooling towers, heat exchangers, condenser and chilled water loops
• Pumps, VFDs, isolation and control valves, strainers, and piping
• Air handlers, coils, filtration, demand‑controlled ventilation
• BAS integration (BACnet), sensors, meters, sequencing, and alarming
• Water treatment programs and water‑side energy optimization
• Thermal storage, redundancy strategies, and load shedding

Whether you operate a central plant for a single university building or a distributed campus, we engineer dependable performance and document measurable results.

Why #1 AC Guys

• Fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of engineering expertise
• Deep focus on large, complex commercial and campus projects
• Factory training at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China)
• Mission‑driven: healthier indoor air for healthier learning environments
• Rapid diagnostics, clear scopes, and transparent pricing
• 24/7 response across Burbank, Los Angeles County, and neighboring regions

We service and optimize York equipment to meet stringent campus standards without disrupting classes, labs, or events.

Solutions tailored to university needs

University cooling demands fluctuate by season, schedule, and building type. We design York chiller plant strategies that maintain comfort and humidity control in lecture halls, libraries, data rooms, and residence halls while lowering energy intensity.

• Variable primary flow for pumps and chillers to reduce kWh and kW
• Smart chiller staging and reset strategies based on real‑time load
• Cooling tower optimization for approach, fan speed, and water chemistry
• Air‑side improvements: coil hygiene, filtration upgrades, and ventilation control
• Noise and vibration mitigation for acoustically sensitive spaces
• Thermal storage and demand response to flatten peaks and capture incentives

Our commissioning process validates sequences, alarms, and failover modes, ensuring redundancy that protects critical research and technology.

Controls, data, and optimization

We integrate York equipment with your BAS via BACnet and deploy metering to track kW/ton, delta‑T, and IPLV‑aligned performance. Dashboards surface KPIs that matter—chilled water temperature stability, pump efficiency, and tower approach—so decisions are data‑driven, not guesswork.

• Chiller sequencing logic to avoid short‑cycling and extend asset life
• VFD tuning for pumps and towers to match real‑time demand
• Setpoint reset (CHW, condenser water, supply air) to lower lift and energy
• Alarm rationalization and trending for predictive maintenance

Where available, we help you pursue utility incentives from Burbank Water and Power and regional Southern California programs to accelerate ROI.

Maintenance that prevents downtime

Our preventive and predictive maintenance plans are purpose‑built for York chiller plants. We combine vibration analysis, oil/refrigerant sampling, eddy current tube testing, and ultrasonic leak checks with routine inspections to catch issues early and maintain peak efficiency.

• Seasonal start‑ups/shutdowns and campus schedule coordination
• Tower descaling, basin cleaning, and water treatment management
• Pump alignment, bearing care, and seal replacement
• Coil cleaning and filtration upgrades for healthier indoor air
• Emergency repairs with stocked critical spares and temporary cooling options

Every visit includes a written report with recommendations prioritized by safety, risk, and payback.

Compliance and safety

We align projects with California Title 24, applicable local codes, and industry best practices. Our safety culture covers lockout/tagout, confined space, and refrigerant handling, protecting students, faculty, and facilities.

Service area

Headquartered in Los Angeles, we serve Burbank and greater Los Angeles County, plus nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our proximity enables rapid dispatch and consistent project oversight.

Our mission

Healthy air supports healthy learning. That’s why our engineering approach pairs efficiency with indoor air quality—balancing ventilation, filtration, and humidity so people feel and perform their best.
