Commercial Chiller Repair in Santa Monica

Fast Response and Accurate Diagnostics

When a chiller goes down in Santa Monica, comfort, processes, and tenant satisfaction are on the line. #1 AC Guys delivers rapid response and evidence‑based troubleshooting to stabilize temperature and restore capacity quickly. Our engineers use calibrated digital instrumentation, data logging, and control trend analysis to pinpoint root causes—from high head pressure and short cycling to non‑condensables, scaling, flow imbalance, or sensor drift. You get clear findings, options, and upfront pricing before work begins.

Chiller Systems We Service

We support a wide range of commercial chiller plants in Santa Monica and across Los Angeles County, including:

• Air‑cooled and water‑cooled chillers
• Scroll, screw, and centrifugal machines
• Packaged and built‑up central plants with cooling towers and pumps
• Heat‑recovery and low‑temp applications
• BMS and controls integration, VFDs, and optimization

Our factory‑trained team has deep, cross‑platform experience with leading global manufacturers—trained by Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier—bringing disciplined engineering practices to every commercial chiller repair and tune‑up.

Common Chiller Issues We Fix

• Poor cooling capacity, uneven temperatures, nuisance alarms
• High condenser pressure, fouled coils or tubes, airflow/water‑flow problems
• Refrigerant leaks, non‑condensables, oil return issues
• Electrical and VFD faults, contactors, sensors, and actuators
• Pump cavitation, valve failures, air in hydronic loops
• Cooling tower performance issues, water treatment coordination
• Control sequencing, staging, and setpoint errors

We correct the underlying cause—not just the symptom—to improve reliability, efficiency, and lifecycle value for your Santa Monica property.

Preventive Maintenance and Compliance

Coastal conditions can accelerate corrosion and dirt accumulation. Our preventive programs include coil cleaning, tube brushing and descaling coordination, leak checks, refrigerant charge verification, electrical tightening, sensor calibration, water‑treatment alignment, and controls testing. We align service with local codes and California Title 24 efficiency goals, and assist with permitting and documentation as needed for the City of Santa Monica and Los Angeles County jurisdictions.

Energy Optimization and Retrofits

If rising energy costs are squeezing budgets, we can evaluate measures that pay back, such as:

• Condenser water and chilled water setpoint optimization
• VFDs for pumps, tower fans, and AHU supply fans
• Sequencing and staging logic improvements via BMS
• Heat recovery and free‑cooling opportunities where appropriate
• High‑efficiency chiller upgrades and right‑sizing recommendations

We provide before/after performance data and help you explore available utility incentives. The result: lower kWh, steadier comfort, and extended equipment life.

Built for Large and Complex Projects

From hotels along Ocean Avenue to corporate campuses and healthcare facilities, our team plans work to minimize downtime in occupied buildings. We coordinate crane lifts, phasing, temporary cooling strategies, and safety logistics—communicating with facility managers, GCs, and stakeholders at every milestone.
