In office towers, hospitals, schools and large multifamily buildings, the chiller plant is usually the biggest single electrical load and the most expensive cooling asset to replace. Com+ Mechanical repairs, replaces and installs air-cooled and water-cooled chillers across the five boroughs and Long Island, with recommendations based on measured load and part-load operation rather than the nameplate of the machine being replaced.
Packaged units, usually on the roof or at grade, that reject heat with condenser fans. No cooling tower or water treatment needed — simpler to own, but generally less efficient than water-cooled plants at larger sizes.
Installed indoors and paired with a cooling tower and condenser-water pumps. Higher efficiency for large loads, with more equipment to maintain and water treatment to manage.
Scroll machines cover smaller loads with multiple staged compressors; screw chillers are common workhorses in the mid range and handle part-load well with modern controls.
Centrifugal chillers serve large plants. Oil-free magnetic-bearing designs offer strong part-load efficiency and lower maintenance, and are often compact enough for retrofits with tight access.
Multiple smaller modules that fit through standard doors and elevators, add redundancy, and allow phased replacement — often the answer when rigging a single large machine is impractical.
Capture rejected heat for domestic hot water or simultaneous heating, and are a growing electrification path for buildings facing Local Law 97 limits.
A chiller removes heat from water (or a water-glycol mix) that is then pumped to air handlers and fan coils throughout a building. The heat is rejected outdoors either directly by fans (air-cooled) or through a cooling tower (water-cooled). Because chillers run thousands of hours a year, choices about type, efficiency, controls and refrigerant affect energy spend, reliability and Local Law 97 emissions for decades — so they deserve a plant-level, engineering-first decision rather than a like-for-like swap by default.
From call to comfort in 6 easy steps
We review the chiller, towers, pumps, controls, operating logs and repair history to understand how the plant really runs.
Sizing is based on measured building load and operating profile, not the old nameplate.
We compare repair, like-for-like, and re-engineered options — including air-cooled, modular, and heat-recovery paths — with energy and LL97 impact.
A written scope and quote, plus a shutdown plan and temporary cooling if needed.
Crane picks or in-place assembly, piping, electrical and controls integration, coordinated with building management.
Factory-guided startup, controls tuning and a planned maintenance program to protect the investment.
We look at the whole chilled-water system, not just the machine on the nameplate.
Repair vs replace laid out with energy, compliance and budget trade-offs.
Shutdowns planned around tenants, with temporary cooling when required.
Dispatch across NYC and Long Island when a plant goes down.
No fees. No surprises. Just honest service.
Troubleshooting, repairs and a condition report on your chiller plant.
Replace the existing chiller with a modern, efficient equivalent.
Modular, magnetic-bearing, air-cooled or heat-recovery options matched to your building.
Final pricing is confirmed in writing after a site assessment. Off-season scheduling typically reduces disruption and avoids emergency premiums.
Business+ plans start at $499/year — includes 2 rtu tune-ups, 10% off all services, and priority scheduling.
