Here are some common signs you need refrigeration service:
Temperature Problems
Your walk-in cooler may be experiencing a lot of temperature fluctuations. It might seem like the system is overworking to maintain cool air, and you might be noticing food and beverages stored in the cooler are not as cold as they should be. It’s important that your commercial refrigerator maintains the proper temperature to prevent spoiled food, waste and even food poisoning. It’s also a health department requirement. Fluctuating 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. Excessively 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 Your Commercial Refrigerator
Even though walk-in coolers are designed to keep food and beverages chilled, ice and frost are a sign something is amiss. These syptoms can be caused by a leak or blocked air flow. It’s important to act quickly 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 puts your food at risk of contamination and your staff and customers at risk of being poisoned.
Puddles on the Floors
If you’re discovering puddles and slippery floors around your walk-in cooler, you’ve got an immediate problem that needs attention right away. Puddles on the floor are an accident waiting to happen. They represent an increased liability and they can raise your utility bill. Wet floors are often a symptom of a leak from a damaged seal in your walk-in cooler.
You’ll want to get refrigeration service as soon as possible if you’re seeing any of the above symptoms with your commercial refrigeration equipment.

As part of our preventative maintenance plan, you'll receive expert refrigeration services like these:
Condenser and evaporator coil cleaning
Critical to the smooth running of your refrigeration system, it keeps your system at the needed temperature and helps you save on your electrical bills.
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 components and a greater likelihood of more expensive problems in the future.
Refrigerant level inspection
This is to check for possible leaks. Frequent monitoring of refrigerant levels helps us detect if something is wrong.
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.
Ice maker overhaul
Ice makers are often guilty of spreading foodborne illness if they’re not cleaned regularly. Black mold can grow on the ice and make your patrons ill. Complete disassembly and a thorough cleaning is the best solution.
Evaluating the electrical components
To prevent sudden losses of power, we test all electrical connections and control wiring to ensure they're all working properly.
Refrigeration system parts inspection
We examine every inch of your system looking for wear and tear so we can prevent small repairs from becoming big ones.
Clean condensate drain lines
ACHRNews.com (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration News) reports 90% of refrigeration unit service calls are to address water leaks caused by clogged condensate drain lines.
Examine door gaskets, hinges, and latches
It’s vital that these refrigeration unit items close properly to maintain ideal temperature control.
Temperature controls examination
We test the thermometer and settings. This ensures you avoid conditions from being overly warm or cold.
Inspecting the suction line insulation
We make sure condensate isn’t collecting and dripping. If this happens you'll suffer from water build up, which can cause water damage and workplace slip hazards.
Complete compressor function testing
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 when refrigeration repair is needed. In addition to preventing costly repairs and sudden breakdowns, our maintenance plan actually saves our customers money on utility bills. When your refrigeration units are operating as they’re designed to, they’re more energy efficient and less wear occurs.
It’s also crucial that you have regular maintenance done to prevent shut-downs by the health department, or accidentally spreading foodborne illness to your customers. No one wants to make a diner sick or fail a health inspection because food wasn’t kept to temperature.
