Expert Installation and Repair That Keeps Your Cooling Systems and Cooling Towers Running at Peak Performance

Get a Reno delivers professional chilled water piping contractor services built around one priority: keeping your cooling system operating at peak efficiency with zero unplanned downtime. Chilled water systems circulate cold water to extract heat from occupied spaces, and when the piping that connects your chiller to your air handling units and fan coil units fails, everything downstream stops working.

Chilled water typically exits the chiller at 45°F and travels through a carefully engineered chilled water loop to air handlers, fan coil units, cooling towers, and process equipment before returning at a higher temperature for re-cooling. A typical temperature delta (∆T) ranges from 10°F to 16°F across the supply and return lines. Getting those numbers right-and keeping them consistent-requires precision in every pipe joint, every insulation wrap, and every valve setting. That is exactly what Get a Reno's licensed professionals deliver for commercial and industrial facilities across the region.

Chilled water piping contractors design and install systems circulating chilled water, and Get a Reno approaches every project with the understanding that proper installation ensures long-term performance and system integrity. Whether you operate a hospital where temperature control is non-negotiable or a data center where a single degree of drift risks equipment failure, our team installs, repairs, and maintains chilled water pipes to the standards your facility demands.

What Makes Get a Reno Different from Other Contractors

Most contractors focus on basic repairs-patching a leak, swapping a valve, replacing a short section of pipe. They fix the symptom and move on.

Get a Reno is built differently:

Integrated System Optimization – We do not just repair chilled water pipes; we evaluate system performance across the entire chilled water loop. Chilled water systems must be balanced to ensure uniform cooling in all zones of a building. Get a Reno checks delta-T across every load, verifies flow rate at each terminal unit, and confirms that your pumps are not fighting unnecessary pressure drops. Proper sequencing of multiple chillers improves load efficiency, and we make sure your equipment operates in the most efficient configuration.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology – Air trapped in the system reduces performance and increases corrosion. Get a Reno uses ultrasonic thickness testing, infrared thermal imaging, and acoustic leak detection to find problems invisible to the naked eye. Calibration of sensors ensures accurate temperature and flow readings, and our diagnostics catch issues before they become expensive failures.
Custom Piping Solutions – Every facility has unique cooling needs, structural constraints, and load demands. Get a Reno designs piping solutions matched to your specific heat load, loop configuration, ambient conditions, and future expansion plans. We do not apply generic templates-we engineer systems that fit your building.

How Our Chilled Water Piping Process Works

System Assessment and Load Calculation Get a Reno begins every project with a thorough assessment of your facility's cooling requirements. We calculate sensible and latent heat loads, determine required flow rates, and establish the optimal temperature differential for your application. Chilled water systems typically operate at a temperature of 45°F on the supply side, and we size every pipe run, pump, and component to maintain that standard under your actual operating conditions. Our assessment phase also maps out every interface point so the installation process stays aligned with planning and trade coordination.
Professional Installation Using Appropriate Materials and Insulation Based on our assessment, Get a Reno executes the work in a clear, step-by-step sequence so each section of your piping system is installed correctly. Chilled water piping carries cold water from a chiller to air-handling units through hydronic systems involving piping connecting chillers to cooling equipment. We install proper hangers, supports, expansion loops, and anchor points. Every joint-whether welded steel, brazed copper, or butt-fused HDPE-is executed to specification. Insulation is applied with vapor barriers to prevent condensation; condensed water in chilled piping can lead to mold growth and structural damage. Installation must follow manufacturer recommendations and specifications throughout.
Testing, Balancing, and Commissioning Before your system goes live, Get a Reno performs rigorous quality control. Proper pressure testing is necessary to prevent leaks in piping systems, and we conduct hydrostatic testing at pressures well above your maximum working pressure. Quality control checks for chilled water systems include hydrostatic testing and flushing, helping confirm proper installation for long-term performance and system integrity. We balance every loop to verify uniform flow distribution, test delta-T across all terminal equipment, and confirm that controls, valves, and pump sequencing operate correctly. Chilled water systems require proper balancing to avoid overcooling in some zones while leaving others underserved.
