Frequently Asked Questions

What's the most common commercial refrigeration problem?

Temperature fluctuations and failure to cool are most common, usually caused by dirty condenser coils, faulty compressors, or door seal wear. Santa Monica's salt air can accelerate corrosion; preventative maintenance slows this.

Do you repair all brands of commercial refrigerators?

Yes. We service True, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, and all major commercial brands used in Santa Monica restaurants and retail.

How much does commercial refrigerator repair cost?

Costs vary by problem: simple fixes (gasket, thermostat) run lower; compressor or system failures cost more. We provide a free estimate on-site after diagnosis so you know the cost before we proceed.

Can you handle walk-in freezer repair during business hours?

Yes. Many Santa Monica restaurants schedule preventative work or minor repairs during off-peak hours. Emergency repairs (system failure) happen immediately regardless of time. We work around your schedule.

How often should I maintain my commercial refrigeration system?

Quarterly (4 times per year) is ideal for high-use units in restaurants and retail. Maintenance includes coil cleaning, electrical checks, and performance validation. Regular service prevents 80% of emergency calls.

Do you offer emergency service on nights and weekends?

Yes. 24/7 emergency dispatch for system outages. Call us anytime your walk-in stops cooling, ice production fails, or temperature rises. Same-day response within Santa Monica.
