Walk-in coolers, reach-in freezers, ice machines -- repaired same-day by NATE-certified technicians with 40+ years experience. Serving restaurants, grocery stores, and commercial kitchens across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
From a 500-square-foot walk-in cooler behind a Calabasas steakhouse to a bank of ice machines at a Beverly Hills hotel, we have seen it all. Here is every type of commercial refrigeration equipment our technicians diagnose and repair.
Temperature creeping up in your walk-in? We repair compressors, evaporator fans, thermostats, door gaskets, and insulation panels. Every brand, every size.
Walk-In Cooler Repair →A walk-in freezer failure can cost you thousands in spoiled product overnight. We respond fast, diagnose the root cause, and get your unit back below zero.
Walk-In Freezer Repair →Reach-in units keep your prep ingredients at safe temps throughout service. When they struggle, we fix the compressor, fan motor, thermostat, or control board fast.
Reach-In Repair →No ice means unhappy customers. We repair Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, and every other brand. Slow production, dirty ice, no output -- we handle it all.
Ice Machine Repair →Your display case is a sales tool. When it fogs up, runs warm, or stops circulating air properly, customers walk past. We restore proper temperatures and presentation.
Display Case Repair →Draft systems and beverage coolers need precise temperature control. Warm beer and flat soda lose you money. We repair glycol systems, thermostats, and compressors.
Beverage Cooler Repair →Refrigerated prep tables keep your line cooks moving. When the cold rail fails or the pan wells warm up, food safety goes out the window. We fix them the same day you call.
Prep Table Repair →Blast chillers are critical for HACCP compliance and food safety. When rapid cooling fails, your kitchen cannot keep up. We service all blast chiller brands and models.
Blast Chiller Repair →Most commercial refrigeration problems do not appear out of nowhere. The equipment gives you warning signs. Ignoring them turns a $300 repair into a $3,000 replacement. Here is what to watch for.
If your walk-in reads 38 degrees one hour and 45 degrees the next, something is wrong. Inconsistent temperatures usually point to a failing thermostat, a refrigerant leak, or an evaporator coil that needs cleaning. Do not wait. Fluctuating temps put your entire inventory at risk.
Commercial refrigeration equipment should hum quietly. If you hear loud buzzing, repetitive clicking, or grinding metal sounds, that is a compressor, condenser fan, or evaporator motor telling you it is about to fail. Catching it now saves you the cost of a full compressor replacement later.
A layer of frost on your evaporator coils is not normal. It usually means the defrost cycle has failed, airflow is restricted, or refrigerant levels are low. Left unchecked, ice buildup forces the compressor to work harder and burn out faster.
Water pooling around your commercial refrigerator is a slip hazard for your staff and a sign of trouble. Common causes include a clogged drain line, a damaged drip pan, or a failing door gasket. We find the source and stop the leak.
Your compressor should cycle on and off. If it runs nonstop, it is working overtime to maintain temperature. This drives up your energy bill and shortens the compressor's lifespan. The fix could be as simple as a dirty condenser coil or as serious as a refrigerant leak.
Commercial refrigeration accounts for a significant chunk of a restaurant's electricity costs. If your bill jumped and nothing else changed, your equipment is likely struggling. Worn gaskets, dirty coils, and failing components all force the system to consume more power to do the same job.
This is the most obvious sign and the most expensive to ignore. If produce wilts early, dairy turns, or meat discolors faster than it should, your unit is not holding temperature. Call us before you lose another dollar in wasted product.
