Commercial Refrigeration

Expert Repair for All Food Service Refrigeration

Commercial refrigeration runs continuously under demanding conditions, holding the precise temperatures your food safety and your business depend on. When it fails, the consequences escalate fast. A walk-in warming above safe temperature puts an entire inventory at risk, a freezer failure threatens expensive proteins, and an ice machine breakdown disrupts service. We specialize in refrigeration repair for restaurants, hotels, grocery and convenience stores, food distributors, and institutional kitchens across the DFW Metroplex.

Our certified refrigeration technicians service walk-in coolers and freezers of every size, reach-in refrigerators and freezers, display cases, prep tables, ice machines, and beverage coolers. Each truck carries specialized tools, leak detection equipment, recovery machines, and common parts, so most repairs happen on-site without waiting on parts delivery. Every repair includes full system diagnostics to find the underlying problem, so you are not paying for the same failure twice.

Repair is the bulk of what we do, but we also handle refrigeration installation and replacement. When a unit is beyond a cost-effective repair, or you are building out or expanding a kitchen, we spec and install the right equipment for your operation, then keep it running with maintenance and service afterward.

This page covers refrigeration across all food service equipment. If your emergency is specifically a walk-in losing temperature, our walk-in cooler repair team handles that, and it is part of our broader commercial kitchen services.

Emergency Response

Fast Response That Prevents Food Loss

Refrigeration emergencies do not wait for convenient hours, and Texas heat speeds up temperature rise the moment cooling fails. We provide 24/7/365 emergency refrigeration repair with rapid response across the Metroplex. When you call, our dispatch team prioritizes you immediately, because every hour of downtime means more food loss and more risk to your operation.

Our technicians carry recovery equipment to safely handle refrigerants along with replacement compressors for common units, contactors, capacitors, and thermostatic expansion valves. When a permanent repair cannot be finished on the spot, we provide temporary solutions like supplemental cooling or dry ice to protect inventory while we coordinate the fix. And we give you transparent pricing before work begins, so there are no surprise invoices during an already stressful situation.

Ice machine down? We troubleshoot production, water supply, electrical, and mechanical problems on Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, and other commercial ice equipment. Reach-in failures get the same urgency. When the cold side of your kitchen quits, we move.

Maintenance That Stops Costly Breakdowns

The best refrigeration repair is the one you never need. Operations that invest in regular refrigeration maintenance see dramatically fewer emergency failures and lower total equipment costs than those that only call when a system quits. Our maintenance programs catch worn compressor components, failing contactors and relays, dirty coils, refrigerant leaks, and deteriorating door seals during scheduled visits, before they become a food-loss emergency.

Regular service also cuts energy costs, which matters more than most operators realize: commercial refrigeration typically accounts for 30 to 40 percent of restaurant electricity use, so efficiency gains add up fast. Contract customers get predictable monthly costs, priority emergency response, discounted labor, and documentation for health inspections and insurance. Explore our preventive maintenance programs to protect your inventory year-round.

We operate our business from out-of-state and it is imperative for us to rely on contractors who we can trust and who provide efficient service. The work is completed in such a professional manner that we never have any issues.

Common Questions

Commercial Refrigeration Repair FAQ

How fast can you respond to a walk-in cooler emergency?
We provide 24/7/365 emergency response and prioritize walk-in failures the moment you call, because a warming walk-in puts your entire inventory at risk. Our trucks carry parts and recovery equipment so most repairs are handled on the first visit, and when a permanent fix takes longer, we deploy temporary cooling or dry ice to protect your product. See our dedicated walk-in cooler repair page for more.
What brands of commercial refrigeration do you service?
Our certified technicians service all major commercial refrigeration brands, including True, Hoshizaki, Turbo Air, Nor-Lake, Master-Bilt, Kolpak, Manitowoc, and Scotsman. That covers walk-ins, reach-ins, display cases, prep tables, ice machines, and beverage coolers across the equipment your kitchen relies on.
How do I know if my walk-in cooler needs repair or replacement?
It depends on the age of the equipment, the cost and frequency of recent repairs, and how efficiently it runs. A single failed component on an otherwise sound unit is usually a repair, while a unit with a failing compressor, chronic leaks, and rising energy costs may be cheaper to replace. We diagnose the system honestly and give you the numbers so you can make the right call.
Can you help us pass health department inspections?
Yes. Proper temperatures and functioning refrigeration are central to passing inspection, and our maintenance contracts include service documentation that proves your equipment is maintained, which supports both health inspections and insurance requirements. We also correct drainage and temperature issues that commonly trigger violations.
Do you repair ice machines?
Yes. We troubleshoot ice production problems, water supply issues, electrical failures, and mechanical malfunctions on Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, and other commercial ice equipment. Ice machine downtime disrupts beverage service and the customer experience, so we treat it with the same urgency as any refrigeration failure.
