Refrigeration equipment often shows warning signs before a complete failure. If temperatures are changing, equipment is icing up or operation suddenly sounds different, it is worth having the system checked.
Temperature Creeping Up
Your walk-in or reach-in can't hold its set temperature, or swings noticeably between checks.
Compressor Running Constantly
A unit running continuously can have several causes, including load, airflow, coil condition, controls or refrigeration-system problems.
Ice or Frost Buildup
Frost on evaporator coils, iced-up fans, or water pooling under the unit point to defrost or airflow problems.
Strange Noises
New grinding, clicking or buzzing can point to electrical, motor, compressor or other mechanical problems that should be investigated.
Ice Machine Underproducing
Reduced ice production or changing ice quality can be related to cleaning, water supply, controls, operating conditions or refrigeration issues.
Door Seals Failing
Torn or loose gaskets allow warm, humid air into refrigerated spaces and can contribute to temperature and frost problems.
What Happens When You Call
1. Tell Us What's Down
Equipment type, what it's doing, and how urgent it is. We'll tell you honestly whether it can wait for regular hours — no upselling an emergency that isn't one.
2. Protect Your Product
We'll walk you through immediate steps on the phone — what to move, what to keep closed — to minimize loss before we arrive.
3. Diagnose & Repair
The equipment is diagnosed first. When the required repair and parts are available, the goal is to restore operation as efficiently as practical.
Two Minutes Before You Call
Sometimes it's simple. Before you call, it's worth checking:
- Power & breakers — is the unit plugged in and the breaker on? If a breaker has tripped, note it and avoid repeatedly resetting a breaker that will not stay on.
- Airflow — is anything stacked against the condenser or blocking vents? Units need room to breathe.
- Door seals — is a door propped, misaligned, or held open by product? A cooler can't win that fight.
- Thermostat — has the setpoint been bumped? It happens more than you'd think.
Still down? Call 250-488-6860 and we'll take it from there. If problems are recurring, a preventative maintenance program can help document equipment condition and identify developing issues.
Repair Questions
Do you really answer after hours?
Yes — refrigeration emergencies don't keep business hours and neither do we. Our emergency line 250-488-6860 any time. If the call cannot be answered immediately, leave a message with your business name, location and equipment problem.
Should I repair or replace my old unit?
We'll give you a straight answer based on the equipment's age, the failure, and repair cost. If a repair doesn't make financial sense, we'll tell you — and quote a replacement so you can compare.
Can you fix residential fridges and freezers?
Our focus is commercial refrigeration — restaurant, retail, and industrial equipment. For a home fridge, a residential appliance repair service will usually be a better fit.
How do I avoid the next breakdown?
Regular inspection and cleaning can identify developing problems and document equipment condition before an unexpected breakdown. See our maintenance program for details.
