Home Chiller Servicing?

**hayabusa** · 2nd Sep 2011, 02:53

hi guys, just wondering if there is any possibility for a service person to come over to my place to service my chiller as i have time constraint and no form of transport.

kinda stupid question but long ago my uncle used to call his buddy who works in a air-conditioning company to service his chiller at home, can i call those companies to do so if there isn't a service mentioned above? apologies for my lack of knowledge!

May i know what is your chiller brand? i used to call someone to service my artica chiller

by the way the question is not stupid, its relevant and sensible. Do not feel bad, this is a forum for you to get correct answers

Home service (either for chiller or CO2 top up) is quite important.
Because usually we don't have any spare, and it is a must thing for our hobby.
Once it is broken, we need to get it repair asap.
Good thread especially if anyone can share the info about the chiller home servicing here.

TS, what kind of maintenance do you need for your chiller?

I know of 1 that I used 5 year back. Chill Down, contact nbr 97993955. I am in no way affiliated to this company, call to enquire about charges.

Not quite sure, please correct me if i'm wrong.. not much knowledge on chillers. is it true that some are gas operated and some are not? i don't know if mine requires gas top up and mine hasn't been used for quite a long time, i just thought of giving it general servicing before starting on a new journey on my new custom 2ft tank

From the looks of their sponsor thread over at absolutereef dot com, they are still in operation.

there is no harm calling air-conditioning servicing companies for enquiries.
they may be willing to perform the service. however, the rates may be similar to servicing the air-conditioner compressor.
