Commercial Air Chiller Repair in Santa Monica | AC PRO Support

What we repair and optimize

We service commercial air‑cooled and water‑cooled chillers across offices, healthcare, hospitality, retail, education, and multi‑family common areas in Santa Monica. Our engineers repair systems using AC PRO–sourced components and support inventory to minimize downtime and speed approvals.

• Air‑cooled chillers: scroll and screw configurations, condenser fan/VFD issues, coil corrosion, refrigerant circuit leaks
• Water‑cooled chillers: tube cleaning, approach temperature optimization, condenser water treatment coordination
• Controls and BMS: sensor calibration, PID tuning, staging logic, alarms, and integration checks
• Hydronics: pump diagnostics, flow verification, delta‑T improvement, air removal, and balancing
• Power and drives: soft starts, VFD programming, harmonics checks, and electrical fault isolation
• Critical components: compressors, TXV/EXV, contactors, relays, pressure/temperature sensors, and safeties

Engineering‑driven diagnostics that cut cost and risk

Our process is designed for complex commercial sites. We capture baseline data (pressures, superheat/subcooling, entering/leaving water temps, amperage, vibration) and compare against manufacturer specs. We then validate load conditions and correct issues in the right order—airflow/waterflow, controls, refrigerant circuit, and power—so repairs hold under real‑world demand.

Every visit includes clear documentation: root cause summary, before/after metrics, recommended next steps, and maintenance notes to prevent repeat failures. Where helpful, we coordinate with AC PRO for rapid parts availability and warranty guidance on eligible components.

Common symptoms we resolve

• High head or low suction trips, short cycling, nuisance lockouts
• Insufficient cooling capacity during peak afternoons
• Uneven temperatures due to hydronic imbalance or low flow
• Rising energy bills from fouled coils/tubes or poor staging
• Noise and vibration from failing bearings, fans, or pumps
• BMS alarms: sensor drift, failed economizer sequences, erratic VFD control

Coastal conditions in Santa Monica can accelerate corrosion and coil degradation. We recommend protective coatings, proper clearances, and scheduled coil/tube service to extend asset life.
