Frequently Asked Questions
Do you answer refrigeration calls after hours?
Yes. We're open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call 403-970-6988 any time a cooler or freezer starts failing.
What should I do while I wait for a technician?
Keep the door closed, move high-value product to another working unit if you can, and keep a thermometer inside so you know the real temperature. Write down the readings and times.
Why is there ice on my walk-in's evaporator coil?
Usually a defrost problem, a failing evaporator fan, a door that isn't sealing, or low refrigerant. Heavy ice blocks airflow and the box warms up, so it should be checked soon.
How often should commercial refrigeration be maintained?
It depends on the equipment and the environment. Busy kitchens with grease and heat usually need more frequent coil cleaning than a dry storage area. We'll recommend a schedule after looking at your equipment.
Do you also handle the building's heating and cooling?
Yes. One company for every system in your building: refrigeration, heating, air conditioning, ventilation and water heaters.
