Temperature problems change the whole day. Tickets back up, prep falls behind, and product becomes a question mark. Our process starts with triage: get coil surfaces breathing, prove airflow, verify controls are telling the truth, and bring case temps back inside spec—fast.
Why the Right Fix Beats a Quick Swap
Most refrigeration failures trace back to cleanliness, airflow, drains/defrost, or controls. We address those first—because the most valuable outcome is often restoring your existing system to spec and keeping it there. When lifecycle economics favor replacement, we’ll price both paths and let you decide.
“Stabilize first. Fix what’s fixable. Document everything. Only then talk about bigger options.”
Repair-First Playbook
Hold Temps First
Fans moving, door sweeps/gaskets checked, case curtains intact—product stays protected while we work.
Airflow & Coils
Deep clean condenser/evap coils, verify fan direction and RPM, measure static and CFM where applicable.
TXV/EEV & SH/SC
Superheat/subcool dialed in, sensing bulbs and actuators corrected—capacity and efficiency come back.
Defrost & Drains
Heaters, termination, and timers verified. Pans cleared and traps right—no more ice dams or water on floors.
Ice Machines (Sanitation)
Scale removal, sanitizer cycles, filter changes, and harvest verification—clean ice, happy inspectors.
Leak Find & Repair
Dye/electronic/soap methods, proper evacuation, precise charge, and documentation you can file.
Tailored to Your Operation
Restaurants. Line coolers and prep tables must hold temp during rush. We restore airflow, lids, gaskets, and charge so your expo rail stays inside spec.
Grocery & Markets. Reach-in cases and walk-ins need even coil load and clean condensers to avoid runaway head pressures. We clean, balance, and verify defrost logic.
C-Stores & Cafés. Beverage coolers and ice machines are reputation items. We sanitize, descale, reset harvest cycles, and keep drinks cold and clear.
Our Response in Practice
Call by mid-day for same-day dispatch across the Wasatch Front. On arrival, we stabilize temps first—air moving, drains clear, coils breathing, controls accurate—then complete the repair or share a concise, documented plan.
Walk-In Freezer — Ice Build
Failed defrost termination + clogged drain. Heaters tested, termination replaced, drain cleared, case temps recovered same visit.
Line Cooler — Can’t Hold 41°F
Dirty condenser + high SH. Coils restored, charge corrected, doors re-gasketed—line held 36–38°F through dinner service.
Ice Machine — Slimy Bin
Full descale/sanitize, new filters, harvest verified. Clear ice and better taste; inspection passed.
When We Recommend Replacement
Sometimes it’s the smarter move—cabinet rust-through, severe system contamination after burnout, or chronic leaks on obsolete refrigerants. When that happens, we share the repair-vs-replace math, expected downtime, and schedule options. Until then, the mission is simple: restore performance and protect product.
