Been reading regarding chiller efficiency. Not sure if these info have been shared here.

Might help you to decide whether should u get a chiller/upgrade chiller. Justify to your CO that it is worth it. Using the numbers to confuse her....

This link talks about whether higher HP leads to bigger savings and guide u to some $$ calculations.
