Assessment
We examine your heat exchanger to identify all failure points, not just obvious symptoms. This includes pressure testing, visual inspection, and thickness measurements where applicable.
When heat exchangers fail, operations slow down or stop. Whether you manage an industrial facility, a commercial HVAC system, or heavy equipment, poor heat transfer means lost efficiency and risk to connected systems. City Wide Radiator provides aluminum radiator repair Calgary services for businesses that need reliable turnaround and dependable results.
CONTACT USOur technicians bring decades of hands-on experience with heat transfer equipment. Instead of pushing replacement by default, we diagnose the cause and repair what can be restored. This approach reduces capital cost and gets systems back into service faster.

We examine your heat exchanger to identify all failure points, not just obvious symptoms. This includes pressure testing, visual inspection, and thickness measurements where applicable.
Oil and gas, food and beverage, HVAC systems, and manufacturing facilities all rely on our heat exchanger expertise.
Using appropriate techniques for each exchanger type and material, we complete repairs to restore full function. Welding, machining, cleaning, and regasketing happen in our fully-equipped shop.
Brazed units present unique challenges since they cannot be disassembled. We offer cleaning services, leak testing, and connection repairs.
Shell and tube exchangers remain the workhorses of industrial heat transfer. We perform tube plugging, retubing, and shell repairs using specialized welding techniques.
Plate heat exchangers offer high efficiency in compact packages. We disassemble, clean, inspect, and regasket plate units, replacing damaged plates when necessary.
Heat exchanger repair requires knowledge general welding shops often lack. We account for thermal expansion, metallurgical compatibility, and pressure requirements to support safe, long-term operation.
Several factors determine repair viability including damage extent, unit age, replacement lead time, and repair cost relative to new equipment pricing. Generally, if repair costs exceed 50-60% of replacement cost for an older unit, replacement makes more sense.
Yes. Our welding capabilities include stainless steel, aluminum, and various alloys used in heat exchanger construction. We match filler materials and welding procedures to base metal requirements.
Repair timelines depend on damage extent and parts availability. Simple gasket replacements may complete in one to two days. More involved repairs requiring welding or machining may take one to two weeks.
We understand that heat exchanger failures can halt operations. While we do not offer after-hours emergency service, we prioritize urgent repairs during business hours. To discuss expedited repair options and schedule your service promptly, contact us early in the day.
Helpful information includes exchanger type and manufacturer, application and fluid types, symptoms observed, and any nameplate data available. Photos of the unit and damage help us prepare for assessment.
