Industrial Chillers in Jakarta — Installation, Service & Overhaul
The chiller is the heart of any factory or building cooling plant — and in 12 years as an HVAC engineer I have almost never seen one die without warning. There are always signs: approach temperature creeping up, compressor amps climbing, condenser pressure running high. The problem is that those signs are only visible if someone is actually recording them.
We handle air cooled and water cooled chillers from 10 TR to 500 TR: new installations, relocations, compressor overhauls, and monthly maintenance contracts with full logsheets. For temperature-critical processes — plastic injection, pharma, food processing — we also design redundancy schemes so a single faulty unit never stops the production line.
Scope of work
- New chiller installation — foundations, chilled-water and condenser piping, electrical and control panels, insulation, through to commissioning.
- Routine servicing — condenser and evaporator tube cleaning, refrigerant checks, oil analysis, sensor calibration, monthly logsheets.
- Compressor overhaul — strip-down, bearing and wear-part replacement, motor megger testing for screw and scroll compressors.
- Emergency repair — refrigerant leak diagnosis, electrical trips, water-flow problems — 24/7 for contract clients.
- Retrofit & relocation — unit moves, refrigerant changeovers, integration with building automation systems.
Cost estimate
Baseline rates for chiller work in Jakarta, 2026:
- Routine chiller service — from IDR 2.5 million/unit per visit, depending on capacity.
- Monthly maintenance contract including chillers — from IDR 3.5 million/month.
- Screw compressor overhaul — typically IDR 35–120 million depending on size and parts.
- New installation (labour, excluding the unit) — piping and electrical usually run 15–25% of the unit price.
We work on Daikin, TICA, Midea, Gree and practically every brand on the Indonesian market. A written BoQ is free after the survey.
How we work
The workflow is identical on every project, from a shop-house to a factory — so you always know exactly where things stand:
- Site survey (free) — we visit, measure the area, check installation routes, electrical capacity and structure. In factories we also note the production processes that drive heat loads.
- BoQ & working drawings — within 2–5 working days you receive a written bill of quantity, material specifications and drawings. The price we quote is the price we invoice.
- Installation — K3- and BNSP-certified crews work to the agreed schedule, including nights and weekends when production cannot stop.
- Testing & commissioning — airflow, temperature and electrical readings are documented in a commissioning report, followed by handover with a written 12-month warranty.
Most of our chiller clients are in the Cikarang and Karawang industrial estates, plus commercial towers in Central Jakarta. A chiller works as a system with its cooling tower and AHUs — we can take over the whole plant room under one maintenance contract. Planning a new plant? Start with HVAC design.
