The rental fee isn’t too bad, but obviously not ideal
When I bought my facility it came with a chiller that was just a hair too large. I quickly realized it was because the building wasn’t exactly efficient and air tight. The chiller needed to be larger to deal with all of these setbacks. As the years went on I worked on getting the building as efficient as possible. I changed out the windows and got energy efficient lighting systems to just name a few things. Now that my building is so efficient, the boiler is much too large for the facility. I am losing money with a big beast of a system. Since the chiller was old anyway, I decided to just rip it out and get something else. I looked at buying a new chiller but I paused for a bit. What if I decided to expand my facility? What if I became a seasonal business? Buying a small chiller and brand new for those possible circumstances would be dumb. I then decided that going with a chiller rental would be smarter. I got the size I wanted, the style and the brand. The chiller rental business did the installation, any repairs and yearly maintenance. All of that is a part of my monthly fee to own their chiller. The rental fee isn’t too bad, but obviously not ideal. My plan is to keep the chiller rental until I know where my business is going. If I do end up expanding, then I know I will need a bigger system. If I become seasonal, having a rental would be a much smarter option though.
