Commercial University Chiller Plant Services in Rialto

When a university’s central plant goes down, classes stall and research suffers. #1 AC Guys builds and maintains resilient, efficient chiller plants for Rialto campuses and complex commercial facilities, combining deep engineering discipline with rapid response and transparent project delivery.

Why #1 AC Guys for Rialto university chiller plants

• 80+ years of engineering across four generations of our family—purpose-built for large, complex mechanical systems.
• Factory-trained at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China) to strengthen our controls and system-integration expertise.
• AC PRO–sourced equipment and parts to shorten lead times and ensure consistent quality across builds and service calls.
• Data-driven commissioning and optimization that reduce energy per ton while improving occupant comfort and IAQ.
• Local, reliable support for Rialto and nearby areas throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County.

What we deliver

• Design-build and expansions: Right-sized air- or water-cooled chiller selections, cooling towers, pumps, VFDs, headers, and piping layouts, designed for maintainability.
• Retrofits and modernization: High-efficiency chillers, tower upgrades, VFD retrofits, heat exchanger optimization, and smart sequencing.
• Retro-commissioning (RCx): Recalibrate setpoints, reset strategies, and valve coordination to eliminate hunting, short cycling, and wasted kWh.
• Controls and BAS integration: Optimized chilled water and condenser water reset, pump staging, and tower fan logic; vendor-agnostic integrations.
• Predictive maintenance: Sensor-driven monitoring, vibration trends, oil and water analyses, tube cleaning, and seasonal tower care.
• Emergency service 24/7: Rapid dispatch to Rialto for critical uptime needs, temporary cooling solutions, and contingency planning.

Engineering-first process

Every project starts with a precise load profile and operational objective. We model part-load behavior, evaluate hydraulics, and design control sequences that hold setpoints with the least energy. Our commissioning plan validates design intent and creates a baseline, so improvements are provable—not just promised.

For universities, we coordinate phasing around class schedules, labs, and events. We plan safe shutdowns, temporary cooling, and redundancy so your campus stays productive and comfortable.

Energy, resilience, and healthy air

We align your plant with energy goals and budgets: efficient kW/ton, smarter sequencing, and water-side optimization to reduce lift. Better control means stable humidity and temperatures for healthier indoor environments—our core mission is healthy air for healthy life, even in large commercial settings.

AC PRO advantage

Through AC PRO–sourced equipment and parts, we shorten procurement cycles and standardize critical components. That translates to faster project timelines, consistent maintenance, and reduced downtime when every hour matters.

Compliance and safety

Our teams follow rigorous safety protocols and documentation for confined spaces, lockout/tagout, crane and rigging operations, and chemical handling. We coordinate with campus EHS to ensure safe work near dorms, labs, and public areas.

Our proven delivery

• Assessment and data logging: Load profiles, delta-T analysis, and failure review.
• Design and ROI modeling: Capital and lifecycle cost scenarios.
• Phased execution: Minimize disruption, maintain redundancy.
• Commissioning and training: Verified performance, staff handoff, and O&M plans.
• Ongoing optimization: Seasonal tuning and continuous improvement.

Service area and dispatch

We are a Los Angeles–based, fourth-generation engineering family serving Rialto and nearby markets across Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our proximity means faster site walks, quicker parts, and predictable schedules.
