His number is 90255562. Pls call and ask for his pricing.
Was recommended to him as well.

what's wrong with your chiller, total breakdown or you just want it serviced? I own a Teco and was told this chiller does not require servicing (i.e. gas topup), except general cleaning every 6-mths.
It is relatively easy to clean the unit. Let me know if you require instructions.

thanks for the info!
the fan seems to be behaving funny - i.e. spins and then stop...
don't know what's happening.
Set the temp to 26 but seems to be going to 28 sometimes and
the fan still doesn't start.
It's an RA200. More than 5 years
Appreciate any instructions!
You can try System and Control Engieering at Boon Keng Road too. They are air con specialist and one of the better folks to service chillers. Especially Teco. Got mine serviced there recently as well.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
The fan should not start/stop abruptly. Once it starts, it should continue spinning until it reached the desired temp. From the way you described, it seems the fan motor is dying. Benny's contact can help you fix it. Or go to air-con parts supplier to get one. Do this only if you are knowledgable with electronics.
Other point that you raised - Set the temp to 26 but seems to be going to 28 sometimes and the fan still doesn't start. This is not a problem. Teco's thermostat sensor is +/- 1 deg. When you set 26C, that is the cut-off point - i.e. chiller stops. It usually hovers at 26C for a while then back to 27C. At 28C it kicks in again, not immediately though. The thermostat has a delay switch to time the duration it stays at 28C. Can't remember how long is this delay. After it has stayed at 28C for say 5mins, then it starts operation. Hard to explain in greater details, but this is a in-built feature of the thermostat to prevent instant cut-in, cut-out which can damage a compressor.
Many thanks for the advices !
Not to discredit System n Control Engineering (Bioplast)
My friend recently got a chiller problem and he bring down his chiller to repair there. Sys n control people tell them they will check and let him know the cost of repairing. Checking doesn't cost money.
On the same day in the evening they called and ask my friend to pay for $90 for fixing the chiller and the reasons for the chiller not working properly was because of no gas. So what they did is just gas topup. They already did the gas topup and ask my friend to pay even before informing him about the cost before they proceed.
Personally i have also went Bioplast before and asked about chiller servicing. They told me they provide servicing/checking and the price quoted to me is $70. I asked what checking and servicing is included in the $70 like gas topup ..etc ?
The reply given was "No, $70 no gas topup for chiller we don't do that we just check chiller"
I ask more specifically "what kinda of checking ?"
They tell me "Checking loh .. and cleaning the chiller"
I stopped my enquires after that. $70 for just checking and cleaning the fans ..etc to me i think is too expensive not to mention we have to bring the chiller down. I get aircon man service my chiller also cheaper.
Well, i must say am happy with Derek.. he will make a trip to ur place to check ur chiller.
Imagine bringing 15-20kg stuff for an inspection? The guy surely knows tht u r at their mercy.. probably any price quoted, you will also agree.
After reading what Bro Spinex mentioned, maybe we can carry out some basic maintance ourselves.
Here's a link on DIY chemical cleaning:
http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=163682
A chiller comprises of a few components - Compressor, Fan, Heat-exchange, Thermostat/sensor, cooling reservior and electrical distribution unit. Word of caution if anyone want to do self-cleaning.
First, you need to have basic electrical knowledge and screw/nuts skillsYou need to do a bit of dismantling, make sure you know which screw/nuts go where when you put everything back.
Second, Chiller has one component (electrical distribution unit) that should not be touched. It gives out a nasty 240v electric shock even when the unit is not connected to supply. Usually capped in a plastic case. DANGER - don't open this unit.
Third, use plastic bags to cover up components that aren't suppose to get wet. This I mean, all parts other than the heat exchange coil that you are going to clean.
Lastly, dry your chiller thoroughly before putting it back to operation.
Once dirt/dust gets stuck around the coil, the chiller becomes less efficient. So clean your chiller every 3-6 mths.
Hope these tips helps.
