Pasadena Commercial Tube Brushing for Chillers — AC PRO-Ready Service by #1 AC Guys

Clean tubes drive efficient chillers. Over time, scale, silt, and biological growth form an insulating layer that forces longer runtimes, higher lift, and rising kW/ton—hurting budgets and comfort. #1 AC Guys provides comprehensive commercial tube brushing for chillers in Pasadena, combining precise mechanical cleaning with best‑practice procedures to recover lost capacity without risking tube damage.

Why tube brushing matters

Even a thin layer of fouling can dramatically reduce heat transfer. Our service removes deposits from condenser and evaporator tubes, helping stabilize approach temperatures, improve delta‑T, and reduce compressor load. The result is smoother operation, fewer nuisance alarms, and measurable energy savings you can track in your BMS.

AC PRO-ready tools and supplies

We use professional tube brushes, drives, and accessories that are AC PRO-ready, along with appropriate cleaners and flushes when required by site conditions. This ensures reliable, repeatable results across mixed equipment portfolios while aligning with your procurement standards.

What our Pasadena commercial service includes

• Site safety, lockout/tagout, and chilled/condenser water isolation
• Tower and strainer check to prevent re‑fouling
• Tube inspection, mapping, and diameter verification
• Mechanical tube brushing tailored to tube material and fouling type
• Targeted flushing and debris capture to protect downstream components
• Gasket checks, reassembly, and leak inspection
• Functional verification: approach, delta‑T, flow observations
• Before/after documentation with photos and recommendations

Built for complex commercial sites

We specialize in large, mission‑critical, and multi‑building properties—medical and life‑science facilities, hospitality, higher education, retail centers, offices, and light industrial. Our team sequences work to maintain cooling for priority zones, offers night and weekend scheduling, and coordinates with your facility staff and vendors for a smooth process.

4th‑generation engineers. 80+ years of engineering experience.

#1 AC Guys is a family business serving Los Angeles County and nearby areas for decades. Our engineering roots span 80+ years across four generations, and our technicians have trained at manufacturer facilities for Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). That depth shows up in how we plan, execute, and verify each cleaning—especially on complex systems.

Healthier buildings start with cleaner heat exchange

Our mission is simple: healthier indoor air for healthier lives. Clean tubes help chillers control temperatures and humidity more reliably, supporting better IAQ and comfort while protecting sensitive operations and finishes.

When to schedule tube brushing

• Rising kW/ton, approach temperature, or compressor amps
• Seasonal startup or mid‑season performance drift
• Post cooling‑tower event: algae bloom, makeup water upset, or construction dust
• Uneven coil temperatures, poor dehumidification, or chronic short cycling
• Planned maintenance aligned with water treatment milestones

Pasadena-focused, Southern California ready

We proudly serve Pasadena and all of Los Angeles County, with extended coverage into Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. If your portfolio spans multiple sites, we can standardize scopes, reporting, and schedules across locations for consistent results.

Our process at a glance

Pre‑job: scope, safety, and logistics
Isolation: valves, lockout, and water management
Cleaning: brush selection, feed rate, and method matched to tube material
Flush and inspect: debris removal, end‑bell checks, gasket review
Verification: approach and delta‑T readings, trends, and photos
Handover: a concise report with findings and recommendations

Transparent reporting you can use

Every visit includes findings you can act on—tube condition, potential water‑treatment adjustments, suggestions for strainer upgrades, and any signs of under‑deposit corrosion. We align our notes with your capital and maintenance plans to help extend asset life and predict spend.

Beyond brushing: full commercial HVAC support

As a commercial and residential specialist, we handle big and complex projects—from chiller plant tune‑ups and pumping optimization to control strategies that improve delta‑T and part‑load performance. Ask about preventive maintenance plans tailored to your building’s load profile and seasonality.
