Here are some common signs you need refrigeration service:
Cooling 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 not as cold as they need to 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 worn door seals, a leak or even a malfunctioning compressor.
The Machine is Running Loudly
Walk-in refrigerators will make a normal amount of noise, but increased noise levels could be a an indication that there’s something going on. Overly loud refrigeration units are usually caused by a problem with the system components like the compressor, or a malfunctioning fan.
Frost or Ice Buildup in a Commercial Refrigerator
Though walk-in coolers are designed to keep restaurant meal ingredients chilled, frost and ice are a sign something is amiss. 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
Does your walk-in cooler have a chemical smell that didn't used to be there? It could be leaking refrigerant and/or coolant. 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 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 a sign of a leak from a damaged seal in your walk-in cooler.
If you’re noticing 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:
Condenser and evaporator coil cleaning
This is critical for your refrigeration system to run properly because it keeps your system at the needed temperature and saves 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 results in increased wear on components and a greater chance of more expensive problems in the future.
Inspecting the refrigerant level
This is to check for possible leaks. Regular monitoring of refrigerant levels helps us detect if something is amiss.
Examining the compressor
Examining the compressor is the best way to prevent problems and costly repairs. 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 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 ensure they're all working properly.
Refrigeration unit parts inspection
We examine every inch of your system looking for problem areas so we can help you avoid small repairs from becoming big ones.
Clean condensate drain lines
According to ACHRNews.com (Air Conditioning Heating and Refrigeration News), 90 percent of refrigeration system service calls are to correct water leaks caused by stoped up condensate drain pipes.
Examine door latches, gaskets and hinges
It’s vital that these refrigeration unit components close properly to maintain ideal temperature control.
Examining temperature controls
We take a close look at the thermometer and settings. 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. 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. In addition to preventing costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns, our maintenance plan actually saves our customers money on utility bills. When machines operate as they should, they use less energy and they don’t work as hard.
It’s also important that regular maintenance is performed to prevent shut-downs by the health department, or accidentally giving your customers food poisoning and ruining your reputation. No one wants to make a customer sick or fail a health inspection because food wasn’t kept cold enough.
