Chiller needs a tuneup

[Hitsnorth]

Ive had my chiller for a number of years and its worked great. Of course I come home yesterday and my tank is 86 degrees and my chiller is humming away. It was on all night and only brought the tank down 1 degree. Honestly it wasnt the chiller the brought the temperature down because when I pulled out the cooling coil it was obvious the chiller isnt cooling anything.

Where can I get this tuned up? I assume its just like an air conditioner and needs a little maintenance now and again. Any recommendations?

You can call any company that deals with air conditioners. They have a chemical spray that they wash the cooling fins with. If it is an American made chiller, they can get you a new compressor right away. Foreign chillers are a little more difficult for them to get compressors for, but I'm sure they can order it for you.
FWIW, If you get this chemical cleaning done once a year, prior to your cooling season, your chiller will run much more efficiently, saving you quite a bit on your electric bill. It will also increase the life of your compressor. Every year in the spring, I have all my A/C's and chiller cleaned. If you don't want to have your A/C's done, you can bring your chiller directly to the store and have them clean it there.
