Things to consider when hiring a chiller

Cooling Capacity and Load Profile


Start with the numbers.

  • What’s the total heat load?
  • Are you cooling a process, a space, or both?
  • Is the demand constant or variable?

Active Air’s team performs detailed load assessments to ensure your system is sized for performance — not guesswork.

Chiller Type


Different applications require different technologies:

  • Air-cooled → fast install, no water supply needed
  • Low-temp → precision cooling for sensitive environments
  • Reverse-cycle → heating and cooling in one unit

Site Access and Installation Constraints


Consider:

  • Crane or forklift access
  • Pipework compatibility
  • Power availability and distribution
  • Safety protocols and inductions
  • After-hours or weekend install requirements

Active Air handles full logistics — from delivery to bump-out — with minimal disruption.

Power Requirements


Chillers require significant power. We assess:

  • Voltage and amperage
  • Generator compatibility
  • Distribution boards and cabling
  • Backup power needs

We supply turnkey power solutions to keep your system running reliably.

Duration of Hire


Short-term emergency? Long-term project? Seasonal support? Hire duration affects:

  • Equipment selection
  • Service intervals
  • Pricing structure
  • Monitoring requirements

We tailor solutions to your timeline — from days to months.

Compliance and Safety


Ensure your provider meets:

  • ARC licensing and refrigerant handling standards
  • WHS and site-specific safety protocols
  • Electrical and mechanical compliance
  • Proper documentation and commissioning

Active Air’s technicians are fully qualified and experienced across all major industries.

Monitoring and Support


Chillers are mission-critical. Look for

  • 24/7 support
  • On-site servicing
  • Fast fault response

We stay on call throughout the hire period to keep your system stable.

Accessories and Integration


A chiller is just one part of the system. You may need:

  • Pumps, hoses, manifolds
  • Air handlers or heat exchangers
  • Power distribution and generators
  • Temporary ducting or pipework

Active Air supplies complete, engineered systems — not just standalone units.
