Refrigeration Services

Every type of commercial refrigeration equipment has its own common failures, maintenance needs and installation requirements. Choose your equipment for detailed information:

• Walk-in coolers and freezers – repair, installation, door and gasket work, evaporator and condensing unit service.
• Reach-in refrigerators and freezers – the most common commercial refrigerator and freezer in restaurant kitchens.
• Refrigerated prep tables – sandwich, salad and pizza prep units that must hold safe temperatures on the line.
• Display refrigerators – glass-door merchandisers, open-air cases and bakery displays.
• Commercial ice machines – cleaning, sanitizing and repair of modular and undercounter ice makers.
• Blast chillers and freezers – fast pull-down equipment for food safety.
• Cold storage rooms – larger storage for distribution, grocery and hospitality.
• Medical refrigerators and freezers – for clinics, pharmacies and labs that need tight temperature control.

Catching a problem early can save an entire inventory. Call for service when you notice:

• Temperatures creeping above 41°F in a cooler or above 0°F in a freezer.
• The compressor running constantly or short cycling.
• Ice building up on the evaporator coil or inside the box.
• Water pooling on the floor or under the unit.
• Doors that do not seal, torn gaskets or frost around the door frame.
• Loud rattling, buzzing or grinding from fans or the condensing unit.
• Higher electric bills without a change in use.

If product temperatures are rising, move the most sensitive items to another unit and keep the doors closed until the technician arrives.

Central Florida heat and humidity put extra load on refrigeration systems. Condenser coils clog with grease and dust faster in busy kitchens, rooftop and outdoor condensing units work harder in summer, and high humidity leads to more frost and condensate. Most emergency calls we see in summer trace back to dirty condenser coils, failing condenser fan motors, blocked drains or door gaskets that no longer seal. Planned maintenance addresses all of these before they turn into a failure during a busy weekend.

We offer scheduled maintenance for restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, hotels and healthcare facilities. A typical maintenance visit includes condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, drain line cleaning, door gasket and hinge checks, electrical and refrigerant checks, and temperature verification. Maintenance visits can be combined with commercial HVAC service and commercial kitchen equipment repair so one vendor looks after your whole back of house.

When equipment reaches the end of its life, we help you choose a replacement that fits your space, your menu volume and your budget. We install walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, prep tables, display cases and ice machines, and confirm that the electrical circuit, drain and ventilation are correct before start-up.

We service True, Beverage-Air, Turbo Air, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Atosa, Continental, Delfield, Randell, Kolpak, Master-Bilt, Norlake, Heatcraft, Copeland and other commercial refrigeration brands.

How fast can you respond to a refrigeration emergency?

We prioritize units that are losing temperature and schedule same-day service whenever availability allows, every day of the week.

Do you service residential refrigerators too?

Yes. Household refrigerators are handled by our refrigerator repair team.

How often should commercial refrigeration be maintained?

Most restaurant equipment benefits from maintenance every three to six months, and more often for high-grease kitchens or equipment in hot locations.
