Chiller replacement in Perth: what to know

Chiller plant in older Perth CBD buildings is a common replacement project, and many machines are reaching 20 years or more. A new chiller selected for Perth's peak temperatures, not a mild design day, avoids trips on the hottest afternoons.

New chillers and parts often come from the eastern states or overseas, so lead times in Perth can be longer. Start planning well before the old chiller fails, and aim to change over in winter.

We take enquiries from the Perth CBD, West Perth, Subiaco, Osborne Park, Fremantle and the wider metropolitan area, and from Mandurah, Bunbury, the Pilbara.

When replacement makes sense

• The chiller is 20 to 25 years old or more and repair costs are climbing
• It runs on R22, which is no longer imported for new equipment and is costly to service
• The same compressor or component keeps failing
• Energy use is high or the building has a NABERS rating to improve
• The building load has changed and the chiller is now too big or too small

What a replacement involves

• Site survey and load review, so the new chiller is sized to the building as it is now
• Selection: air-cooled or water-cooled, compressor type, refrigerant and efficiency at part load
• Access planning: crane lifts, road closures, roof or basement access
• Removal of the old chiller, including recovery of the refrigerant
• Installation, pipework, electrical and integration with your BMS
• Commissioning, handover and a maintenance plan
