I got rid of our old chiller plan due to inefficiency! It wasn’t the fault of the chiller, it was mine, however everything I read about being a nice chiller owner busy getting familiar maintenance on the system, however first, I never remembered when the right time was to call for chiller maintenance, second, I never wanted to pay for something I feel I didn’t need, third, our chiller still operated plus seemed fine.
I forgoed chiller maintenance for years plus just let the plan operate.
I then started noticing not too long ago that our utility bills were so much higher. I then evaluated the full load efficiency rating on our chiller plus compared it to when I first bought it. I realized I lost 25% efficiency as the years have gone on plus didn’t notice right away. I was steadily losing efficiency by neglecting service. I thought I could get maintenance plus just get the issue taken care of. Turns out the inner laborings of the chiller like the tubing was all messed up. The professional proposed a modern 1 if I wanted a better full load rating. Instead of buying plus owning a chiller I might break again, I decided to with a portable chiller rental this time. A business handles the yearly maintenance on it now. I don’t need to feel about it. I check to make sure the chiller is efficient each year, but other than that, no worries anymore. If there is a repair, the chiller rental business finds it immediately plus takes care of it. If not, I get a odd chiller installed.
