Cabinet or box will not hold set temperature
Compressor running but poor cooling performance
Icing on coils, doors, or drain areas
Controller alarms, sensor faults, or nuisance trips
Door gasket, closer, or sealing problems
Water leaks, drain blockages, or condensate issues

Replacement Planning Starts Here

  • Equipment with repeated compressor, leak, or reliability failures

Who We Support

Calgary Operations That Depend on Stable Refrigeration

Restaurants & Food Service

Line equipment, walk-ins, bar coolers, and prep refrigeration that directly affect food safety and service speed.

Supermarkets & Grocery

Display cases, merchandisers, and back-room cold storage where temperature drift quickly becomes lost product.

Gas Stations, Liquor Stores & Convenience

Reach-ins, merchandisers, grab-and-go cases, and beverage cooling where downtime is visible quickly and inventory loss adds up fast.

Warehouses & Cold Storage

Higher-volume cold storage and refrigeration equipment where uptime, airflow, controls, and maintenance planning matter more than patch fixes.

  2. 2Inspect airflow, controls, refrigeration components, defrost operation, and sealing issues.
  3. 3Complete the repair when practical or stabilize the equipment while required parts are sourced.
  4. 4Flag repeat-failure patterns and explain repair-versus-replacement options clearly.

Refrigeration FAQs

Common Questions About Commercial Refrigeration Repair

Do you handle emergency commercial refrigeration breakdowns?+

Yes. We provide emergency support for warm boxes, failed compressors, repeated alarms, and refrigeration equipment that is putting product at risk.

How much does commercial refrigeration repair cost in Calgary?+

Final cost depends on the type of failure, parts required, and equipment involved. We share our hourly rate up front, and we explain what is wrong and what it will take to fix before starting any repair — no hidden fees or surprise charges.

My restaurant fridge stopped cooling — what should I do first?+

Check that the unit is plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. If the compressor is running but the cabinet is warm, avoid opening the door repeatedly. Call us at 403-660-9309 so we can diagnose whether it is a refrigerant issue, controls fault, airflow problem, or compressor failure.

How often should I service my commercial refrigeration equipment?+

We recommend scheduling maintenance at least three times a year. Regular inspections catch coil buildup, drain blockages, gasket wear, and control drift before they cause emergency breakdowns or product loss.

What types of refrigeration equipment do you service?+

We work on walk-ins, reach-ins, display cases, prep tables, undercounter units, bar coolers, and related commercial refrigeration systems.

Can you tell us when repair stops making sense?+

Yes. We regularly help owners and managers decide when to repair, when to stabilize temporarily, and when replacement is the better long-term move.

Do you offer free estimates for commercial refrigeration?+

The first maintenance visit is waived when a new customer signs a maintenance contract with service at least every four months. We document equipment condition and recommended next steps. Filters, parts and repairs are extra and quoted separately.

Do you offer maintenance for commercial refrigeration equipment?+

Yes. Preventive maintenance helps catch airflow, defrost, drain, gasket, and control issues before they turn into emergency service calls.

Yes. We work with restaurants, food-service groups, retailers, and commercial operators who need quick communication and dependable follow-through.
