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 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. These changes in temperature could be caused by worn door seals, a leak or even a malfunctioning compressor.
The Machine is Running Loudly
Commercial refrigeration units have a standard range of noise they emit, but loud and unfamiliar sounds could be a red flag that there’s a serious problem that needs fixing. Loud refrigeration units are usually caused by a problem with critical system components like the compressor, or a malfunctioning fan.
Ice or Frost Growth in Your Commercial Refrigeration Unit
Even though walk-in coolers are designed to keep restaurant meal ingredients chilled, ice and frost are a sure sign something needs repairing. 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 destroy perishable foods in a hurry.
Unusual and Strange Odors
If your walk-in cooler smells like chemicals, it could be leaking refrigerant and/or coolant. 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 finding water 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. Standing water on the floor is often an indication of a leak from a damaged seal in your walk-in cooler.
If you’re seeing any of these signs with your commercial refrigeration equipment you need to get professional refrigeration service right away.

As part of our preventative maintenance plan, you'll receive expert refrigeration services like these:
Evaporator coil and condenser cleaning
Critical to the smooth running of your refrigeration unit, it keeps your system at the correct temperature and saves on your electricity usage.
Expert fan blade cleaning
Dirty blades cause the unit to work harder because the blades don’t rotate as well when they’re covered in grease and grime. This results in increased wear on components and a greater likelihood of more expensive problems in the future.
Refrigerant level inspection
We do this to look for possible leaks. Regular monitoring of refrigerant levels helps us detect if something is wrong.
Examining the compressor
Looking at 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
Ice makers are often guilty of spreading foodborne illness if they’re not cleaned regularly. Black mold can appear on the ice and make your diners 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 ensure they're all working properly.
Inspection of refrigeration system parts
We examine every inch of your unit looking for problem areas so we can stop small repairs from becoming big ones.
Cleaning the condensate drain lines
According to ACHRNews.com (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration News), 90% of refrigeration unit service calls are to correct water leaks caused by clogged condensate drain lines.
Examine door latches, gaskets and hinges
It’s vital that these refrigeration unit components seal properly to maintain proper temperature control.
Temperature controls examination
We test the settings and thermometer. This helps prevent conditions from being too warm or too cold.
Evaluation of suction line insulation
We examine the suction line for collecting or dripping condensate. 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.
