Service scope and equipment types

We maintain centrifugal chillers of various capacities and configurations, including single‑stage and multi‑stage machines, air‑ or water‑cooled plants, and systems with advanced variable frequency drives and integrated building automation. Our team documents every visit, captures baseline data, and recommends the right cadence of minor, seasonal, and annual tasks to match your runtime and load profile.

Prevent problems before they escalate

• Surge prevention: optimize guide vanes, setpoints, and ramp profiles
• Energy optimization: tighten approach temps, reduce lift, and verify kW/ton
• Reliability: early bearing, seal, and motor insulation checks prevent costly failures
• Water‑side health: condenser/evaporator tube cleanliness and water treatment protect efficiency

Compliance and documentation made simple

Our maintenance logs help you satisfy internal audits and regulatory requirements. We record refrigerant activity, electrical tests, vibration and oil findings, and all calibration steps—packaged in an easy‑to‑read report your finance and facilities teams can act on.

Emergency and after‑hours response

Operations don’t stop at 5 p.m.—neither do we. If your chiller surges, trips on high head, or throws persistent alarms, our Glendale‑area team mobilizes quickly to stabilize the plant, identify root cause, and return capacity safely.
