Commercial Tube Brushing for Chillers in Glendale

As your local engineering‑driven HVAC partner, #1 AC Guys brings disciplined procedures to commercial tube brushing so Glendale facilities can run reliably during the hottest months. We blend hands‑on field expertise with 80+ years of engineering know‑how to deliver measurable performance improvements without unnecessary downtime.

What our tube brushing service includes

We follow a structured workflow tailored to your chiller and schedule, coordinating with building operations for a smooth outage.

• Pre‑job planning: review plant layout, water treatment data, and safety requirements; confirm AC PRO parts availability if needed.
• Lockout/Tagout and access: isolate equipment, open water boxes, and protect surrounding areas.
• Inspection and documentation: assess tube condition, take approach temperature and differential readings, and photograph findings.
• Mechanical tube brushing: select the correct brush for diameter and material; brush each tube end‑to‑end to remove scale and fouling.
• Flush and rinse: clear loosened debris, verify flow, and re‑inspect tube sheets and gaskets.
• Reassembly and testing: torque to spec, restore service, and record post‑clean readings for before/after comparison.

Benefits you can measure

• Lower kW/ton and operating cost by restoring efficient heat transfer.
• Stabilized approach temperatures and more consistent capacity under load.
• Reduced compressor stress and extended equipment life.
• Improved reliability ahead of peak cooling season and critical events.
• Cleaner systems that support healthier indoor environments for teams and guests.

AC PRO compatibility and sourcing

We service systems supported by AC PRO and can source compatible brushes, gaskets, and service materials through AC PRO channels when requested. Our teams work seamlessly with your procurement to keep parts standardized across your portfolio.

Our engineering pedigree

#1 AC Guys is a 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. Our mission is healthy, high‑quality air and dependable comfort across homes and workplaces. Our engineers trained at manufacturer facilities of Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China), bringing factory‑level discipline to complex commercial projects.

Industries and equipment we service

• Office towers, medical and healthcare facilities, and labs
• Hotels, retail centers, and mixed‑use campuses
• Education, municipal, and cultural venues
• Industrial and data‑heavy environments with critical uptime needs

We brush tubes on both condenser and evaporator bundles, coordinating with cooling tower service and water treatment to lock in long‑lasting results.

Signs your chiller needs tube brushing

• Rising approach temperature or difficulty maintaining setpoints
• Increased head pressure and energy use (higher kW/ton)
• Short cycling, nuisance alarms, or reduced capacity during peak hours
• Visible debris/sediment during water box inspections
• Extended run times to achieve the same load

Safety, compliance, and proof of work

Safety is built into every step: LOTO, job hazard analysis, and proper PPE. We protect tubes, tube sheets, and coatings, and we document conditions with photos and readings before and after brushing. You receive a clear report you can share with stakeholders and auditors.

Maintenance schedules that fit Glendale facilities

Frequency depends on water quality, cooling tower performance, operating hours, and load profile. Many Glendale properties benefit from brushing at least once per year—often pre‑season—with mid‑season checks for high‑load plants. We collaborate with your water treatment vendor to time service for maximum impact and minimal disruption.
