Considering Replacing Your Existing Chiller?

Here’s What You Need to Know About Upgrading to a Modern Cooling Solution

If you’re in the process of replacing an ageing or inefficient chiller, you’re not alone. Many businesses across Australia and New Zealand are moving to new, energy-efficient chillers or custom-engineered alternatives. Whether you’re operating in manufacturing, food processing, laboratories, or heavy industry, having the right chiller is crucial to performance, energy efficiency, and system reliability.

At Heuch Cooling Solutions, we specialise in supplying and installing a wide range of industrial and commercial chillers, including custom-designed systems tailored to your site requirements. We’re here to help you choose the right system for your operation—ensuring minimal downtime, regulatory compliance, and long-term cost savings.

Why Replace Your Existing Chiller?

A chiller that’s nearing the end of its lifecycle can:
– Drive up energy and maintenance costs
– Fail to meet production cooling demands
– Be incompatible with current environmental regulations
– Create risk through inconsistent performance or unexpected breakdowns

By upgrading your system, you can improve operational efficiency, reduce ongoing costs, and gain access to newer technology that supports your sustainability goals. 

Water-Cooled vs Air-Cooled Chillers – Which is Right for You?

We often get asked about switching from a water-cooled chiller to an air-cooled chiller, particularly when customers are looking to eliminate cooling tower infrastructure or reduce water use.

Water-Cooled Chillers

– Typically more efficient in high-load, constant temperature applications
– Require cooling towers, pumps, and water treatment
– Higher installation and maintenance complexity
 

Air-Cooled Chillers

– Easier and faster to install and maintain
– Ideal for sites with limited water access, high-cost water supplies or strict environmental controls
– Significantly improved and comparable operating efficiencies to water cooled system in new generations

At Heuch, we help you evaluate the best option for your site, factoring in available space, power supply limitations, access to renewable energy on site, energy use, climate, application demands, and budget.
