Here are some common signs you need refrigeration service:
Temperature Problems
Your walk-in cooler needs to be able to maintain a constant temperature without fluctuations. It might seem like the system is overworking to maintain cool air, and you may also notice food and beverages stored in the cooler are warmer than they should be. It’s important that your commercial refrigerator maintains the proper temperature to prevent food spoilage, waste and even food poisoning. It’s also a health department requirement. Inconsistent temperatures can be caused by a leak, a malfunctioning compressor, or worn seals on the doors.
The Machine is Running Loudly
Commercial refrigeration units have a standard range of noise they emit, but increased noise levels could be a an indication that there’s a serious problem that needs fixing. Loud refrigeration units can be an indication of a problem with the system components like the compressor, or a malfunctioning fan.
Ice or Frost Growth in a Commercial Refrigeration Unit
Though walk-in coolers are designed to keep restaurant meal ingredients chilled, frost and ice are a sure sign something isn’t working properly. This can be caused by a leak or blocked air flow. It’s critical to investigate right away when this happens because ice and frost can quickly ruin your perishable food.
Strange or Foul Smelling Odors
If your walk-in cooler smells like chemicals, it could be leaking coolant and refrigerant. This presents a serious risk of food contamination and puts your staff and customers at risk of being poisoned.
Puddles on the Floors
If you’re finding puddles and slippery floors around your walk-in cooler, you’ve got a problem that needs attention right away. Puddles on the floor are an accident waiting to happen. They represent an increased liability and they can increase your utility bill. Wet floors are often a sign of a leak from a damaged seal in your walk-in cooler.
You’ll want to get refrigeration service right away if you’re finding any of the above signs with your commercial refrigeration equipment.

As part of our preventative maintenance plan, you'll receive expert refrigeration services like these:
Cleaning the evaporator coil and condenser
Critical to the smooth running of your refrigeration unit, it keeps your system at the correct temperature and saves on your electricity usage.
Cleaning the fan blades
When fan blades get dirty and aren't cleaned regularly, the dirt build up increases friction and decreases the effectiveness of the rotation and thus the air flow. This means increased wear on moving parts and a greater likelihood of larger problems in the future.
Refrigerant level inspection
We do this to look for possible leaks. Frequent monitoring of refrigerant levels helps us determine if something is amiss.
Examining the compressor
Examining the compressor is the best way to avoid costly repairs and prevent problems to begin with. Compressors are one of the biggest causes of refrigerator unit replacement.
Overhauling the ice maker
If not cleaned regularly, your ice maker can become ground zero for foodborne illness. Black mold can form on the ice and make your diners sick. Complete disassembly and a thorough cleaning is the best solution.
Electric component evaluation
To prevent sudden losses of power, we test all electrical connections and control wiring to guarantee everything is working as expected.
Refrigeration unit parts inspection
We examine every inch of your unit looking for wear and tear so we can prevent small repairs from turning into a big ones.
Cleaning the condensate drain lines
ACHRNews.com (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration News) reports 90 percent of refrigeration system service calls are to address water leaks caused by clogged condensate drain lines.
Inspect door latches, gaskets and hinges
It’s vital that these refrigeration unit components close properly to maintain ideal temperature control.
Temperature controls examination
We test the settings and thermometer. This ensures you avoid conditions from being too warm or too cold.
Evaluation of suction line insulation
We make sure condensate isn’t collecting and dripping. This causes water to pool up under it, causing water damage and workplace slip hazards.
Testing overall compressor functioning ability
With regular testing you'll have a healthy compressor that will last longer.
Our goal is to maintain your system so you only need refrigeration service for necessary refrigeration repair. Not only does our maintenance program help prevent costly repairs and sudden breakdowns, but it also saves our customers money on utility bills.
