When Expertise Meets Gatekeeping: The Real Cost of Chiller Knowledge

“You need to spend $11,000 on chiller training or we won’t help you”

It’s 2AM. You’re at an industrial facility troubleshooting a failed chiller. After identifying an $85,000 part that needs replacement, you call the manufacturer for confirmation—only to hear: “You’re not qualified, and we can’t help you, unless you buy our course.”

This is the reality for chiller mechanics worldwide. Manufacturer training costs $5,000-$11,000 per person when you factor in travel, accommodation, and lost work time. Even after attending, if you don’t regularly work on that specific model, retention becomes an issue. A few years later? “Sorry, your certification has expired.”

This gatekeeping of critical knowledge inspired us to create The Chiller Guys Hub—a global community connecting and empowering chiller professionals at every level.

We support the chiller industry by:

• Providing BEGINNER online courses
• Offering model-specific refresher courses on maintenance, service, and troubleshooting
• Delivering 24/7 Video Technical Support
• Creating custom in-person or on-site training solutions
