Commercial Chiller Experts in South Florida
Commercial chiller service is the repair, maintenance and replacement of the central cooling machines at the heart of large buildings - and Maza HVAC services both air-cooled and water-cooled chillers across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties, engineered for coastal salt air and year-round latent loads.

Every Major Chiller Architecture
From packaged air-cooled units to large water-cooled central plants, we cover the equipment that keeps South Florida's commercial buildings comfortable and compliant.
Air-Cooled & Water-Cooled Chillers
Full service for both architectures - packaged air-cooled units and water-cooled plants tied to cooling towers and condenser-water loops.
Centrifugal & Screw Chillers
Repair, maintenance and replacement for centrifugal and rotary-screw compressors driving South Florida's largest cooling loads.
Magnetic-Bearing Chillers
Service for oil-free, magnetic-bearing machines where high part-load efficiency and tight controls matter most.
Chiller Plant Optimization
Sequencing, staging and condenser-water strategy tuning so multiple machines run at their most efficient combined point.
Full-Scope Chiller Services
From an after-hours trip-out to a complete plant modernization, we deliver the full lifecycle of commercial chiller work with documentation you can hand to a board or engineer.
Chiller Repair & Diagnostics
Priority dispatch for contract clients when a machine trips offline - fast diagnostics to restore cooling and protect occupancy.
Scheduled Chiller Maintenance
Documented preventive visits - oil and refrigerant analysis, log trending, eddy-current coordination and electrical checks.
Shell-and-Tube Tube Cleaning
Mechanical brushing of evaporator and condenser tubes to restore heat transfer, drop approach temperatures and recover lost efficiency.
Refrigerant Management
EPA Section 608 compliant recovery, charging, leak repair and planning for the ongoing A2L refrigerant transition.
Controls & VFD Integration
Chiller controls, BACnet integration and variable-frequency-drive support for staging, soft-start and energy savings.
Replacement & Plant Modernization
Full chiller replacement and plant modernization - equipment selection, rigging coordination, piping and commissioning.
Shell-and-Tube Tube Cleaning
Over time, scale and biofilm coat the inside of evaporator and condenser tubes, raising approach temperatures and quietly driving up energy use. Mechanical tube cleaning restores heat transfer and protects the efficiency you paid for.
We document before-and-after readings so the value of the work is visible on the chiller log - useful for warranties, reserve studies and recertification.
Salt Air, Capital Planning & Your Reserve
South Florida's coastal salt air can shorten equipment life by roughly 30-40%. Coastal units commonly reach end-of-life around 8-12 years, versus about 12-15 years for comparable inland equipment.
For condo associations, a commercial chiller is one of the largest reserve-funded capital assets on the books. Under Florida's SB 4-D milestone-inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirements, boards need a defensible view of when major mechanical equipment must be replaced.
We offer remaining-useful-life (RUL) assessments that give your board the documented basis to plan funding before a chiller fails - not after.
Why South Florida Buildings Trust Maza With Their Chillers

Real chiller, cooling-tower, condenser-water and controls experience - not just split systems.
Documented service
Logged readings and PM records that support warranties, reserve studies and SB 4-D recertification.
Trane experience
Hands-on experience with Trane centrifugal and water-cooled machines common across South Florida plants.
Chiller Service FAQs
How long do commercial chillers last in South Florida?
Coastal salt air can shorten equipment life by roughly 30-40%, so chillers near the coast commonly reach end-of-life around 8-12 years, versus about 12-15 years for comparable inland equipment. Well-maintained water-cooled chillers with documented tube cleaning and refrigerant management can last longer than these ranges, which is why scheduled maintenance and remaining-useful-life assessments matter so much in our climate.
Do you service both air-cooled and water-cooled chillers?
Yes. Maza HVAC services both air-cooled and water-cooled commercial chillers, including centrifugal, screw and magnetic-bearing machines, along with the cooling towers, condenser-water loops and controls that support a water-cooled plant.
Should we repair or replace our chiller?
It depends on the machine's remaining useful life, operating efficiency and refrigerant. We perform a remaining-useful-life (RUL) assessment that weighs repair history, energy performance, tube and shell condition, and the refrigerant's regulatory future - giving condo boards and facility managers the documentation needed for reserve planning under SB 4-D and SIRS before committing capital.
