Chiller Servicing explained
Planned chiller servicing covering the refrigeration circuit, the water side and the safeties, with an F-Gas leak check and a written asset report.
- Refrigerant pressures, superheat and subcooling: Interpret readings against operating conditions and equipment specification; do not assume a recharge is the answer.
- Condenser and evaporator condition: Condition and airflow affect heat transfer; look beyond surface appearance to obstruction and operating performance.
- Compressor oil and electrical checks: Electrical tests and isolation belong to a qualified person; repeated resetting should not replace fault investigation.
- Flow, delta T and pump operation: Distinguish a pump fault from air, restrictions or closed valves elsewhere in the circuit.
- Safety, flow switch and pressure cut-out test: Interpret readings against operating conditions and equipment specification; do not assume a recharge is the answer.
- F-Gas leak check and written service report: Interpret readings against operating conditions and equipment specification; do not assume a recharge is the answer.
Interpreting the reported fault
Review alarms, flow proving, pump status, entering and leaving water conditions and condenser operation. Separate the chiller fault from distribution problems elsewhere in the building.
- Reported symptom: an annual service due or efficiency slipping through the cooling season
- Record when the problem started and any recent changes
- Keep fault codes and model details for the assessment
Maintenance is not a breakdown repair
A planned visit should establish condition and identify deterioration. An existing fault may need separate diagnosis and parts. Agree which assets, cleaning tasks, functional checks and records are included, and base the interval on manufacturer guidance and operating conditions.
- Provide the chiller model, alarm history, plant schematic where available and the effect on occupied spaces or process equipment.
Labour and the work to be agreed
Engineer time is £120+VAT per hour with a one hour minimum. The time and materials required depend on the diagnosed fault and access. Ask for the repair scope, any additional parts and the return-to-service checks before proceeding.
- £120+VAT per hour, one hour minimum
- Confirm the parts and labour required for the specific fault
Chiller Servicing across London
A chiller serves a water circuit as well as a refrigeration circuit. Poor water flow, control demand or heat rejection can limit cooling without a compressor failure.
A plant repair needs to address the original failure conditions. Replacement sizing should use the actual cooling duty, redundancy requirements and existing water circuit—not only the old nameplate rating.
Provide the chiller model, alarm history, plant schematic where available and the effect on occupied spaces or process equipment.

Chiller Servicing: scope, checks and next steps
Planned chiller servicing covering the refrigeration circuit, the water side and the safeties, with an F-Gas leak check and a written asset report.
What the reported symptom tells us
an annual service due or efficiency slipping through the cooling season. Record when this occurs, what changed beforehand and whether other equipment is affected. These observations narrow the investigation; they do not prove which part has failed.
A chiller serves a water circuit as well as a refrigeration circuit. Poor water flow, control demand or heat rejection can limit cooling without a compressor failure.
Separate the possible causes
Review alarms, flow proving, pump status, entering and leaving water conditions and condenser operation. Separate the chiller fault from distribution problems elsewhere in the building.
Repair or replacement?
A plant repair needs to address the original failure conditions. Replacement sizing should use the actual cooling duty, redundancy requirements and existing water circuit—not only the old nameplate rating.
Maintenance is not a breakdown repair
A planned visit should establish condition and identify deterioration. An existing fault may need separate diagnosis and parts. Agree which assets, cleaning tasks, functional checks and records are included, and base the interval on manufacturer guidance and operating conditions.
