Commissioning confirms that new or modified equipment is installed correctly, charged correctly and operating to design before handover. Sharing the make, model and a photo of the rating plate in advance helps the engineer arrive prepared.

This page explains what chiller commissioning involves, the faults and checks we commonly deal with, how we work on commercial sites, and what you need to know about compliance before booking.

About Chillers

Chillers produce chilled water or glycol that is pumped to fan coils, air handling units or process equipment. Air-cooled and water-cooled designs serve offices, hotels, hospitals and industrial sites.

Chiller downtime can affect a whole building or process, so planned maintenance, water treatment and fast fault response matter.

What Chiller Commissioning Includes

Every visit is scoped to the equipment and the problem in front of us. For chiller commissioning, the work typically includes the following, with any extra work explained and agreed before it goes ahead.

  • Pressure and leak testing
  • Evacuation and charging
  • Performance readings
  • Commissioning records

Common Chiller Problems We Deal With

These are the problems we see most often on chillers across London and the M25. Many start small and get worse if left.

  • High or low pressure trips
  • Flow switch faults
  • Compressor failures
  • Poor chilled water temperatures
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Control alarms

Checks Our Engineers Carry Out

A proper visit goes beyond fixing the obvious symptom. Depending on the equipment and the agreed scope, the engineer will check:

  • Leak checks
  • Operating pressures and temperatures
  • Compressors and oil
  • Condenser coils or towers
  • Flow, pumps and strainers
  • Controls and alarms

Businesses We Support

We work with hotels, hospitals, data centres, manufacturing and many other commercial premises across London and the M25. We understand that equipment often has to be worked on while you are trading, so we plan visits to minimise disruption and keep areas clean and safe.

Multi-site operators and facilities managers can group equipment into one maintenance schedule, with consistent records across sites.

Compliance, F-Gas and Record Keeping

Air conditioning systems using fluorinated refrigerants fall under the F-Gas Regulations, so refrigerant handling, leak checks, recovery and recharging must be carried out by suitably certified engineers and recorded. Larger systems with an effective rated output above 12kW also need a TM44 air conditioning energy inspection at least every five years, which building owners and managers are responsible for arranging.

After the visit you receive a record of the work carried out, readings taken where relevant and any recommendations, which you can keep with your maintenance and compliance documents.

How to Book Chiller Commissioning

Booking is straightforward and we keep you informed at each stage.

  • Check installation: Pipework, wiring and positions are verified.
  • Test: Pressure tests, evacuation and start-up.
  • Record: Settings and readings are documented.

Why Businesses Choose Us for Commissioning

Our approach is simple: turn up prepared, diagnose properly, explain the options clearly and record the work. That keeps repeat visits down and gives managers the information they need to budget for maintenance and replacements.

We also provide commercial gas safety certificates, catering equipment servicing and air conditioning work, so sites with several types of plant can deal with one contractor for planned visits and compliance paperwork across London and the M25.

Planning Ahead: Repair, Maintain or Replace?

Not every fault justifies a repair. Where chillers are old, use a refrigerant that is being phased down, or keep failing, the engineer will tell you honestly whether a repair is good value or whether planning a replacement makes more sense. Age, energy use, parts availability and the cost of downtime all feed into that decision.

For equipment worth keeping, a planned maintenance schedule matched to how hard it works is usually the most cost-effective way to avoid emergency call-outs and keep running costs down.

Engineer Tip

Trend chilled water temperatures over time; gradual drift is an early warning of fouling or charge problems.

Keeping a simple log of temperatures, alarms and faults also makes diagnosis faster and helps spot patterns before equipment fails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover chiller commissioning across London and the M25?+

Yes. We support commercial premises throughout London and the surrounding M25 area. Tell us the site postcode and the equipment details and we will confirm availability.

How quickly can an engineer attend?+

Response depends on engineer availability and location. Urgent faults that put stock or operations at risk are prioritised, and we will give you a realistic attendance time when you call.

Will I get a quote before work starts?+

Yes. The engineer explains the findings and any recommended work. Additional repairs or parts are agreed with you before they go ahead.

Are your engineers F-Gas certified?+

Refrigerant work is carried out by engineers holding the appropriate F-Gas certification, and refrigerant quantities and leak checks are recorded as required.

Do you work on all makes of chillers?+

We work on most commercial makes and models. Share the make and model when you book so we can confirm and prepare for the visit.
