Refrigeration & Cooling Service in San Bernardino

The Inland Empire runs hot. When San Bernardino hits 110°F in July and your cooling system goes down, you need a licensed refrigeration contractor who picks up the phone and shows up the same day.

San Bernardino is the county seat of the largest county in the contiguous United States, and it sits right in the middle of one of Southern California's most punishing heat corridors. Summer afternoons regularly push past 110°F. That kind of heat doesn't just make people uncomfortable. It destroys compressors, overworks condensers, and turns a small refrigerant leak into a $15,000 inventory loss overnight.

Arctic Cool Refrigeration has been handling exactly these problems since 1984. We hold a C-38 Refrigeration Contractor license (CSLB #1062503) and a DCA license (#A48052). Our technicians are NATE-certified, background-checked, and carry commercial-grade parts on the truck. When a walk-in cooler at a distribution center off Waterman Avenue goes down at 2pm on a Tuesday in August, we don't schedule you for next week. We come out that day.

We work with warehouse operators along the I-10 and I-215 corridors, restaurants on Hospitality Lane and in the revitalized downtown district, government buildings at the San Bernardino County complex, grocery stores, convenience chains, and residential homeowners from the Verdemont foothills down to the Arrowhead Springs area.
