What is the Process If I Need a Temporary Chiller?

When your cooling system fails, or you have a project needing extra temperature control, a temporary chiller can save the day. But if you’ve never hired one before, you might be wondering, what’s the actual process?

At Rapid Chiller Rentals, we’ve made it simple. Whether it’s an emergency, a planned event, or seasonal demand, we can have your cooling up and running in hours, not days.

Here’s exactly how the process works step by step.

Step 1: Define Your Cooling Needs

Before anything else, we’ll work out exactly what you need.

This includes:

  • Cooling capacity (measured in kW or tonnes)
  • Duration of hire days, weeks, or months
  • Type of application HVAC, process cooling, food storage, etc.
  • Site restrictions space, power supply, noise limits
  • Temperature range required

Fact: In the UK, industrial chillers can range from 5kW to over 1,500kW, so having the right size is critical for efficiency and energy costs.

Step 2: Get Expert Advice & Proposal

Once we know the basics, one of our engineers will arrange a free site survey.
We’ll assess:

  • Access points for delivery
  • Power availability and connections
  • Hose runs and water supply
  • Ventilation requirements

There, we’ll send you a tailored proposal, including:

  • Recommended chiller size and type
  • Additional equipment (hoses, manifolds, pumps)
  • Installation plan and timescales
  • Clear pricing with no hidden extras

Step 3: Fast Delivery & Professional Installation

When you give the go-ahead, we’ll arrange rapid delivery often within 24 hours.

Our team will:

  1. Position the chiller in the safest, most efficient location
  2. Connect hoses and power supply
  3. Fill and test the system
  4. Commission it to your exact cooling requirements

All our chillers are tested before dispatch, so you’re guaranteed a reliable unit.

Step 4: 24/7 Support During Your Hire

We don’t just drop it off and leave. You’ll have round-the-clock support from our experienced team.

That means:

  • Regular maintenance checks
  • Rapid call-outs for any breakdown
  • Telephone troubleshooting for quick fixes

According to the UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE), proper equipment maintenance reduces workplace incidents by over 40%, another reason why we never compromise on aftercare.

Step 5: Return or Extend Your Hire

When you’re finished, we’ll arrange a convenient collection time.

If your project overruns, extending your hire is simple just let us know and we’ll keep the system running as long as needed.
