Quick answer
Chiller service covers the maintenance, repair and seasonal cleaning of the central chillers that cool larger Miami buildings. Air-cooled chillers sit on roofs and in mechanical yards; water-cooled chillers pair with cooling towers. Regular service keeps approach temperatures low, catches refrigerant and oil problems early and avoids building-wide outages.

A chiller makes cold water and pumps it to air handlers or fan coil units throughout a building. It runs long hours in Miami, often year round, and it carries the comfort of every unit or office on the loop. Small drifts in performance, like a fouled condenser or a slow refrigerant leak, add up to big energy costs and eventually a shutdown.
Air-cooled chillers on rooftops and in parking garages face the same salt air and heat as residential condensers, at a much larger scale. Water-cooled chillers depend on clean condenser tubes and a healthy cooling tower, and Miami's warm water grows scale and biological film quickly.
We work with building engineers and property managers on scheduled maintenance, seasonal tube cleaning and emergency repairs, and we leave written readings after every visit so the building has a record.
