Commercial Tube Brushing for Chillers in Fontana

When fouling, scale, or biofilm builds up inside condenser or evaporator tubes, heat transfer drops—and energy costs rise. Our commercial tube brushing for chillers in Fontana restores clean internal surfaces, helping your plant reclaim capacity, stabilize approach temperatures, and reduce strain on compressors and pumps.

Our engineered tube-brushing process

Every facility is different, so we match tools and methods to your metallurgy, water chemistry, and fouling type. Typical workflow:

• Lockout/tagout, isolate the chiller, and drain as needed
• Open heads and water boxes, protect gasketed surfaces
• Select AC PRO‑compatible nylon, brass, or stainless brushes matched to tube ID and material
• Mechanically brush each tube end‑to‑end; apply targeted descaling where specified
• Flush debris, borescope spot‑check, and re‑brush as required
• Reassemble, torque to spec, and pressure/leak check
• Record ΔT, approach temperature, flow, and pressure drop for your maintenance records

We coordinate off‑hours, overnight, or weekend windows to limit disruption. For high‑priority sites, rapid‑response crews are available.

Why tube brushing matters

Even a thin layer of scale or biofilm can act like insulation inside your tubes. After thorough brushing, facilities often see faster pull‑down, steadier approach temperatures, and improved part‑load performance. The result is fewer nuisance alarms, less compressor wear, and more predictable energy use.

AC PRO compatibility and materials

We service systems that use components supplied through AC PRO and maintain a full range of AC PRO‑compatible brushes and consumables. Whether your tubes are copper, cupro‑nickel, or stainless, we select bristle type and diameter to protect the base metal while removing the fouling that hurts efficiency.

Built for complex commercial sites

#1 AC Guys specializes in large and challenging projects—industrial, medical, education, hospitality, and logistics. Our fourth‑generation family of engineers brings 80+ years of combined engineering experience to every job, applying practical field methods and rigorous documentation in equal measure.

Training and QA

Our technicians hold factory training from Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). This engineering‑first foundation guides our safety protocols, cleaning techniques, and QA checks across commercial HVAC systems.

What you receive after service

• Before/after readings: approach temperature, ΔT, and pressure drop
• Notes on fouling type (scale, silt, biofilm, debris) and tube condition
• Recommendations on treatment, filtration, or cleaning intervals
• Photos/borescope captures where applicable

You’ll have a clear record for audits, budgeting, and seasonal planning.

Scheduling, safety, and downtime reduction

We plan work around production cycles and critical cooling loads. Our teams follow lockout/tagout, confined‑space, and chemical handling best practices. Where applicable, we coordinate with your water‑treatment vendor to align cleaning with biocide or inhibitor dosing.

Local expertise for Fontana

From warehouse clusters near the I‑10 and I‑15 corridors to manufacturing and healthcare campuses, Fontana facilities count on us to keep chillers reliable through hot Inland Empire summers. Based in Greater Los Angeles, we routinely serve Fontana and nearby Inland Empire communities with rapid mobilization and consistent crews.

FAQ

• How often should tubes be brushed?
  Intervals vary by water quality and load profile; many commercial systems benefit from annual brushing, while heavy‑use or poor‑water sites may require semiannual service.
• Do you clean both condenser and evaporator tubes?
  Yes—procedures and brush selection are tailored to each bundle and metallurgy.
• Will brushing damage tubes?
  We size brushes correctly and select the proper bristle material to remove fouling without harming the base metal.
