Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Orange County
When a walk-in, reach-in, or prep table goes warm, you're not just losing an appliance — you're losing product, and possibly a health-inspection point. We repair commercial refrigeration for restaurants, cafés, markets, bars, and offices across Orange County, and we prioritize these calls because every hour matters.
Equipment We Service
- Reach-in refrigerators & freezers — single, two, and three-door units
- Prep tables — sandwich/salad units and pizza prep tables
- Undercounter & worktop refrigeration
- Glass-door merchandisers and display coolers
- Ice machines — including Scotsman and Hoshizaki
- Wine storage and beverage centers (True, Perlick, U-Line, Marvel and others)
Common Commercial Failures We Fix
- Unit running non-stop but not holding 38°F / 0°F — usually a grease-clogged condenser coil, the #1 preventable failure in commercial kitchens
- Evaporator iced over from a failed defrost heater, timer, or drain line
- Door gaskets worn out from hundreds of openings a day — warm product on the door shelves is the tell
- Compressor start failures: clicking start relay, tripped overload, weak start capacitor
- Refrigerant leaks and low charge — full sealed system repair: leak detection, brazing, filter drier, evacuation, and recharge
- Ice machines producing thin, cloudy, or no ice — scale, water valves, pumps, or refrigeration-side faults
💡 Owner's tip: in a kitchen environment, condenser coils should be cleaned every 1–3 months, not once a year. It's the cheapest insurance against a Friday-night breakdown — ask us about a maintenance schedule for your equipment.
How We Work With Businesses
- Priority scheduling for commercial calls — same-day service is usually available
- Upfront quote after diagnosis, before any work begins
- Clear guidance on repair vs. replace when a unit is at end of life
- Repeat-visit prevention: we fix the cause (airflow, drainage, gaskets), not just the symptom
