Temperature Problems
Your walk-in cooler needs to be able to maintain a constant temperature without fluctuations. Your refrigeration unit might be 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 spoiled food, waste and even food poisoning. It’s also a health department requirement. Fluctuating temperatures can be caused by a malfunctioning compressor, a leak or even worn out door seals.
The Machine is Running Loudly
Walk-in refrigerators have a standard range of noise they emit, but loud and unexpected sounds 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 critical system components like the compressor, or a malfunctioning fan.
Ice or Frost Growth in a Commercial Refrigerator
Even though walk-in coolers are designed to keep restaurant meal ingredients chilled, frost and ice are a tell-tale sign something isn’t working properly. These syptoms 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 destroy perishable foods in a hurry.
Strange or Foul Smelling Odors
Does your walk-in cooler have a chemical smell that didn't used to be there? 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.
Wet Floors
If you’re discovering puddles and slippery floors around your walk-in cooler, you’ve got an immediate problem that needs attention as soon as possible. Puddles on the floor are an accident waiting to happen. They represent an increased liability and they can increase your electric bill. Wet floors are often an indication of a leak from a damaged seal in your walk-in cooler.
You’ll want to get refrigeration service right away if you’re seeing 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 condenser and evaporator coil
Critical to the smooth running of your refrigeration system, it keeps your system at the proper 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 chance of bigger problems in the future.
Inspection of refrigerant level
We do this to look for possible leaks. Frequent monitoring of refrigerant levels helps us detect if something is wrong.
Compressor examination
Examining the compressor is the best way to prevent problems and costly repairs. Compressors are one of the biggest causes of refrigerator unit replacement.
Ice maker overhaul
If not cleaned regularly, your ice maker can become ground zero for foodborne illness. Black mold can form on the ice and make your customers seriously ill. 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 system parts inspection
We examine every inch of your system looking for problem areas so we can stop small repairs from turning into a big ones.
Clean condensate drain lines
ACHRNews.com (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration News) reports 90 percent of refrigeration unit service calls are to fix water leaks caused by clogged condensate drain lines.
Check door latches, gaskets and hinges
It’s critical that these refrigeration unit items seal properly to maintain ideal temperature control.
Temperature controls examination
We take a close look at the settings and thermometer. This ensures you avoid conditions from being overly warm or cold.
Inspecting the suction line insulation
We examine the suction line for collecting or dripping condensate. If this happens you'll suffer from water build up, which leads to workplace slip hazards and water damage.
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. In addition to preventing costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns, our maintenance plan actually saves our customers money on utility bills.
