CHILLER SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Commercial Chiller Service & Maintenance in Southeast Michigan
Air-cooled and water-cooled chiller systems serviced and maintained by certified technicians with deep commercial and industrial HVAC experience. Refrigerant management, heat exchanger cleaning, controls calibration, and seasonal procedures all handled in-house.
Chiller Repair
Refrigerant circuit diagnosis, compressor issues, heat exchanger fouling, condenser water system problems, and controls faults identified at root cause and resolved completely. 24/7 emergency response available for chiller failures where downtime is not an option.
Refrigerant Management
Leak detection, repair, and recharge to manufacturer specifications. Full EPA Section 608 compliant refrigerant documentation on every service visit.
Cooling Tower Coordination
Condenser water system service coordinated with cooling tower maintenance for water-cooled chiller plants. Basin cleaning, water treatment review, and tower fan and motor service handled as part of a complete chiller plant maintenance program.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance programs covering refrigerant charge verification, oil analysis, heat exchanger inspection and cleaning, condenser water system review, electrical connection check, controls calibration, and full performance testing. Visit frequency structured around your equipment type, usage demands, and operational calendar.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning
Evaporator and condenser heat exchanger cleaning to restore heat transfer efficiency and prevent long-term tube degradation. Includes eddy current testing for tube condition assessment where warranted.
Seasonal Startup & Shutdown
Spring startup and fall shutdown procedures performed to manufacturer specifications. Includes full system inspection, refrigerant charge verification, controls verification, and documentation before the unit goes into or comes out of seasonal operation.
Controls & BAS Integration
Chiller controls calibration, setpoint verification, and BAS integration service. Demand limiting, lead-lag sequencing, and condenser water reset strategies programmed and verified for optimal system efficiency.
Commercial Heating Repair
Furnace Repair
Fast, accurate diagnosis and repair for commercial furnaces and boilers of all makes and configurations. We minimize downtime and get systems back online quickly, including 24/7 emergency response when it can't wait.
Boiler Repair
Commercial boiler systems require specialized knowledge of pressure, safety controls, and hydronic distribution. Our technicians service hot water and steam boilers of all sizes, including high-pressure systems in industrial and institutional settings. Services include burner repair, heat exchanger inspection, pressure vessel testing, CSD-1 compliance testing, and controls calibration.
Emergency Heating Repair
When a system fails outside of business hours, our 24/7 service center dispatches a certified technician immediately. We serve facilities across Southeast Michigan around the clock, every day of the year.
Diagnostic & Inspection Services
Not sure what's wrong? Our technicians perform thorough system diagnostics to identify the root cause, not just the symptom. You get a clear written assessment and options before any repair work begins.
Controls & Thermostat Repair
Heating performance issues are often a controls problem, not a mechanical one. We diagnose and repair digital and pneumatic control systems, building automation integrations, and thermostat/sensor calibration issues that cause inefficiency or uneven heating.

-
Yes. Friedman Mechanical services all major commercial and industrial chiller configurations, including centrifugal, screw, and scroll compressor systems.
-
Most commercial chillers require at minimum a spring startup, fall shutdown, and one mid-season inspection. High-usage or critical facility chillers benefit from more frequent attention. We recommend visit frequency based on your specific equipment and operational requirements.
-
Yes. All refrigerant handling is performed in compliance with EPA Section 608 requirements and fully documented on every service visit.
