Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Refrigeration Repairs FAQ
How quickly can you attend a commercial fridge breakdown?
We prioritise commercial refrigeration emergencies across Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Illawarra. Our central depot is in Albion Park, allowing typical emergency response within 30–60 minutes.
What types of commercial fridges do you repair?
We repair upright glass-door display fridges, under-bench prep chillers, multi-deck open displays, bottle shop cool rooms, cake showcases, and commercial blast chillers.
Why is my commercial fridge running but not cooling down?
Common causes include dirty or blocked condenser coils, failed evaporator fan motors, low refrigerant gas due to a leak, or a faulty electronic thermostat/TXV valve. Our technicians carry diagnostic gear to locate the exact cause quickly.
Do you carry spare parts in your service vans?
Yes. Our service vans are stocked with universal fans, electronic temperature controllers (Dixell, Carel), contactors, relays, defrost timers, and refrigerants so most repairs are completed on the first visit.
