Commercial HVAC & Chiller Service in Madison, WI
We service commercial chillers, rooftop units, boilers and building automation for Madison and Dane County facilities, and because the same team works on the machine and the controls that sequence it, a fault that crosses both systems stays with one contractor instead of turning into two vendors on a conference call.
- Commercial and industrial facilities only, since 2008
- Water-cooled and air-cooled chillers, including high-tonnage centrifugal and screw machines
- Scheduled and emergency service dispatched into Dane County from our Waukesha office
Chiller Work Most Madison Contractors Refer Out
Say the word centrifugal to a heating-and-cooling company and you usually get a subcontractor's name and a wait. Chillers are the core of what we do, so the machine in your mechanical room is the equipment we came to work on rather than the one call we pass along.
Founder Jim Jensen spent more than twenty years in Carrier and York factory service before starting the company in 2008, and mechanical contractors across southeastern Wisconsin subcontract their chiller work to our technicians.
One Contractor for Every System in the Building
Chillers are the deep end of the work, not the whole of it. A Madison facility that calls us for a compressor problem gets the same technicians for the tower, the rooftop units, the boiler plant and the controls tying them together.
Cooling Towers and Condenser Water
Tower cleaning, fill and drift eliminator replacement, fan and gearbox service, sump and basin work, and condenser water pump troubleshooting on the loop feeding your water-cooled machines.
Compressor, economizer, belt, bearing and control board service on commercial rooftop units and packaged equipment, including the units sitting over leased office and retail floors where roof access has to be scheduled around tenants.
Burner and combustion service, controls and safety testing, pump and valve replacement, and make-up air unit repair on steam and hot water plants heating Madison institutional and industrial buildings.
Dedicated cooling for server rooms, data closets and process loads, where a nuisance alarm at two in the morning is a business problem rather than a comfort complaint.
HVAC Controls and Building Automation
Programming, integration and troubleshooting on the building automation system running your equipment, so a bad sequence, a failed sensor or a graphic that no longer matches the plant gets corrected by the same company that services the machines it commands.
Madison Buildings We Keep Running
School Districts and District Buildings
Chiller and boiler work in Dane County school buildings has to land inside a summer window or a break, and a machine that will not load on the first warm day of the school year is a call we take that morning. We service the central plant, the rooftop units over classroom additions, the gym and auditorium equipment, and the controls scheduling all of it.
Offices and Retail Centers
An offline rooftop unit over a leased floor is a tenant complaint before it is a work order. We service packaged and split equipment, chilled water plants in multi-tenant office buildings, and the automation that keeps zones and after-hours schedules where property management set them.
Manufacturing and Industrial Buildings
Process cooling tied to a production line does not get a maintenance window, so we work on chillers, towers and air handling in plants where the machine going down stops output. Compressor overhauls and tube work get scheduled around your shifts, with scope and duration agreed before we start.
Water-Cooled and Air-Cooled Chiller Service in Madison
Repairs, preventative maintenance and performance upgrades on water-cooled and air-cooled chillers, from small packaged machines to high-tonnage centrifugal and screw equipment. There is no brand limitation: we service Carrier, York, Trane, Quantech, JCI and the rest.
- Compressor overhauls and rebuilds on centrifugal and screw machines
- Condenser and evaporator tube cleaning, eddy current testing and tube replacement
- Refrigerant leak repair, charging and oil analysis
- Starter, VFD, sensor and safety control diagnostics
- Annual teardown, inspection and performance work under a maintenance agreement
Tube cleaning and a compressor teardown are planned work, which is exactly why they belong on a schedule rather than in an emergency. We quote the scope, the downtime and the cost before the machine comes apart.

How Dane County Service Actually Works
Our trucks run out of Waukesha, and Madison sits at the western end of a footprint that also covers Jefferson, Columbia, Rock and Dodge counties. Dane County is scheduled, dispatched work: maintenance visits, compressor and tube projects, controls programming and after-hours response, all planned rather than squeezed in.
Tell us what the machine is doing
Call (414) 899-4641 or text the same number and describe the equipment, the fault and the alarm history. A technician takes the details, not a script.
Get scope, timing and cost first
We state what the visit covers, when we can be there and what it will cost before a truck leaves Waukesha. On a compressor or tube job, that includes how long the machine is down.
One team through the fix
The same company diagnoses the controls, opens the machine and closes out the work, so nothing gets handed to a second vendor mid-repair.
When a Dane County building loses cooling or heat outside business hours, an
emergency call gets a technician on the phone that night with a real answer about what is failing and when we can be on site. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and emergency calls are answered outside them.
Madison, Dane County and the Counties Around It
Madison and Dane County are part of our regular service footprint, alongside Jefferson, Columbia, Rock and Dodge counties on the western half of the map. Trucks are dispatched from our Waukesha office, so Dane County work is scheduled and quoted up front rather than treated as an exception, and you always know the scope, timing and cost before we drive. The full ten-county footprint and the rest of our city coverage are on our service areas page.
Facility managers and contractors call us when the systems are complex, downtime is not an option, and they need one team that can handle both the mechanical equipment and the controls without bringing in multiple vendors.
Questions Madison Facility Managers Ask Us
Do you service water-cooled chillers in Madison, Wisconsin?
Yes. Advanced Chiller Services works on water-cooled and air-cooled chillers throughout Madison and Dane County, including compressor overhauls, condenser and evaporator tube cleaning and replacement, refrigerant repairs and starter and VFD diagnostics. Our technicians are factory trained on Carrier, York, Trane, Quantech and JCI equipment, with no brand limitation.
Does anyone service high-tonnage centrifugal chillers in the Madison area?
We do. High-tonnage centrifugal and screw machines are core work for our team rather than equipment we subcontract, and our founder spent more than twenty years in Carrier and York factory service before starting the company in 2008. Mechanical contractors in the region hire us as their chiller subcontractor for exactly this equipment.
Can I get emergency commercial HVAC service in Madison, WI after hours?
Yes. Emergency calls to(414) 899-4641reach a technician rather than an answering service, at night and on weekends. Because trucks are dispatched from Waukesha into Dane County, we tell you on that call what we think is failing and when we can be on site instead of promising a time we cannot hold.
Do you handle both the chiller and the building automation controls?
One team covers both. We program, integrate and troubleshoot the building automation system as well as service the chillers, towers, rooftop units and boilers it commands, so a fault that starts in a control sequence and ends inside a compressor never gets split between a mechanical contractor and a separate integrator.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Dane County only, or the surrounding counties too?
Our footprint covers ten southeastern Wisconsin counties. On the western side that means Dane, Jefferson, Columbia, Rock and Dodge, so a portfolio with buildings in Madison, Janesville and Watertown can be served by one contractor and one phone number.
Tell Us What the Equipment Is Doing
Call (414) 899-4641 and describe the machine, the fault and what you have already tried. You can text the same number, or send details and photos through our quote form, and we will come back with scope, timing and cost before anything is scheduled.
