Walk-ins
Walk-in coolers and freezers
A walk-in is a refrigerated box, in a back room or behind a beer-cave door.
It runs on its own condensing unit or ties into the rack. We service the box, the unit and the door, which is where most walk-in trouble starts.

What drives the cost
What moves a quote, with no dollar figures here
Every quote is written, per store, before work starts.
Box size and temperature
A freezer needs more than a cooler.
The part
An evaporator, a condensing unit or a controller.
Door, hinge and gasket condition
Often the simplest fix and the most useful.
Panel damage or moisture
Wet insulation changes the job.
Rack-fed or its own unit
One is a rack circuit, the other a standalone system.
Delivery schedule
Work planned around the truck.
Questions
Questions about walk-in coolers and freezers
Can you fix a walk-in with stock inside?
For many repairs, yes. We tell you what to move and for how long before we start.
Why does my walk-in ice up at the door?
Usually a gasket, a door that does not close or a heater that has failed. The report names it.
Do you service beer caves?
Yes, with their own condensing units or tied into a store rack.
