Refrigeration Service

Walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, beer coolers. Diagnosis and service on all commercial-grade refrigeration, plus system design to your specification.

Chapter 01

A walk-in, a reach-in and a beer cooler do not fail the same way.

We diagnose and service all types of commercial-grade refrigeration: walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in coolers, commercial beer coolers, and more. Three different boxes, run three different ways, and each one shows a different first symptom when something is wrong.

A walk-in holds a bigger volume and drifts slowly, so a degree or two of temperature creep can sit unnoticed for a day before anyone checks a log. A reach-in gets opened constantly through a shift, so door seals and short-cycling show up first. A beer cooler runs close to continuous behind a glass door, so condensation and fan wear are usually the tell.

We design a refrigeration system to your specification, not out of a box.

We specialize in designing refrigeration systems to your exact specification, for optimized use and efficiency for the business. That means sizing the box, the compressor and the evaporator to what actually moves through the kitchen or the cooler room, not fitting the business around a standard unit.

It is the same approach we bring to the ductwork we fabricate a few hundred feet away: built to the job in front of us, in our own shop, not picked off a shelf.

Chapter 03

Refrigeration is the call you cannot leave until Monday.

A walk-in cooler or a reach-in that goes down over a weekend is a full load of inventory at risk, not an inconvenience. The office is open Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and emergency service is answered 24 hours a day, which is exactly why that number is printed on the trucks.

Call (815) 756-6528 whenever it happens. It does not wait for the next business day, and neither do we.
