How Commercial Chiller Repair Services Improve Chiller Performance

Your building's climate depends on a properly functioning commercial chiller. It’s the key to a cool, comfortable building when it’s hot outside. It also helps prevent valuable IT equipment from overheating. Like any HVAC system, it can experience wear and tear over time and fail.

With an air-cooled chiller, a failing fan limits airflow over the coils, reducing cooling capacity. Dirty coils impede the system's ability to deliver hot or cold air, forcing it to run longer and wearing out components. Leaking fluids, worn motors, and failing thermostats are other problems that reduce a chiller's performance.

Commercial chiller repair services ensure your system is back up and running. Preventing costly failures is best, but Superior Mechanical is here to quickly diagnose and repair, and to offer tips to keep your system from breaking down again.

Key Signs That Commercial Chiller Repair Is Necessary

Impending commercial chiller repairs are often caught early if you watch for these three key signs.

  • Higher energy bills.
  • Unusual or new noises.
  • Visible coolant leaks.

If you ignore them, refrigeration system breakdowns are likely to occur. Minerals can accumulate on condenser tubes, thereby reducing system efficiency and increasing energy consumption. The lack of energy efficiency drives up your bills.Electrical components are also prone to wear and tear. Contacts may wear out over time. Fuses can blow. Vibrations may loosen connections. The sensors may become error-prone, leading to inefficient HVAC operation.

The Benefits of Preventive HVAC Chiller Maintenance

Proper maintenance is essential for the efficient operation of a commercial chiller system. Scheduled preventive maintenance keeps your costs low and limits unexpected downtime. It also extends the life of your HVAC system.

When mineral deposits accumulate in your chiller's tubes, efficiency drops. Deposits just 0.01 inches thick reduce efficiency by 9%. If they reach 0.05 inches, efficiency loss skyrockets to 45%. Commercial chiller repair technicians address buildup during inspections and maintenance.

Don't wait until your commercial chiller breaks down. Preventive chiller maintenance saves time, money, and frustration. Superior Mechanical's commercial HVAC services help North Carolina businesses keep their HVAC systems properly maintained. Your commercial chiller operates at peak performance.

Another part of preventive maintenance is checking refrigerant levels. Even the tiniest leak can cause low refrigerant levels, which make the chiller's compressor work harder and longer. This increases energy consumption. Not only do your system's components wear out faster, but it also drives up your company's electricity bills.

When your building heats up due to a failed commercial chiller, your workers, guests, or customers are likely to become uncomfortable. If your commercial chiller is designed to keep your hotel cool, your guests may demand refunds after they find another hotel. The resulting loss of business is immense.

Maintenance also helps you stay compliant. If your chiller is newer and still under warranty, regular maintenance helps prevent voiding the warranty.

With quality chiller repairs, you gain an energy-efficient system and lower energy costs. You stop costly breakdowns. And, your employees and other building occupants are cool and comfortable.
