Hear from Our Customers
Your walk-in cooler stays at 38 degrees through Saturday dinner rush. Your ice machine produces clean ice all day without weird noises. Your display cases keep product at safe temperatures while your health inspector watches.
That’s not luck. That’s what proper commercial refrigeration maintenance looks like in Hempstead’s competitive food service market.
Most businesses don’t think about their refrigeration systems until something breaks. Then they’re dealing with spoiled inventory, lost revenue, and customers waiting while you scramble for emergency repairs. A single equipment failure during peak hours can cost you $5,000 to $15,000 when you factor in repairs, lost sales, and wasted product.
The restaurants and delis that stay profitable in Hempstead are the ones whose refrigeration just works. Their equipment gets serviced twice a year. Their compressors don’t overheat in July. Their door seals don’t leak during winter. They call us before problems become emergencies.
We’ve been handling commercial refrigeration across Nassau and Suffolk County since the 1980s. We’ve seen every type of equipment failure, worked on every major brand, and solved problems that made other contractors give up.
Our technicians hold EPA 608 refrigerant certification. We stock our emergency trucks with parts for the equipment brands Hempstead businesses actually use. We respond to true emergencies in under two hours because we know what a failed walk-in cooler costs you during Saturday lunch service.
Hempstead’s climate is tough on refrigeration equipment. Summer heat makes compressors work overtime. Winter cold affects door seals. Constant humidity changes stress the entire system. We’ve been managing these challenges for Long Island businesses longer than most of our competitors have been in business.
You call with a problem. We ask specific questions about what’s happening with your equipment because details matter. Is your walk-in cooler making noise? Is it not cooling at all? Did it just start, or has it been getting worse?
For emergencies, we dispatch immediately. Our trucks carry common parts for major brands, which is why we fix about 70% of emergency calls on the first visit. For scheduled maintenance, we show up on time and complete a full system inspection.
During service calls, we check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, test compressor function, examine door seals, clean condenser coils, and verify temperature accuracy. We explain what we find in plain language. If you need repairs, you get transparent pricing before we start work.
After the service, your equipment either works correctly or we tell you exactly what it needs and what that costs. No surprises. No hidden fees. No technical jargon you need a manual to understand.

We service walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in refrigerators, commercial ice machines, refrigerated display cases, prep tables with refrigeration, beverage coolers, and blast chillers. If it keeps food cold in a commercial kitchen, we’ve worked on it.
Hempstead businesses need reliable refrigeration service because the food service market here doesn’t forgive equipment failures. Your customers expect fresh ingredients. The health department expects proper temperatures. Your bottom line depends on equipment that works.
We also handle specialized applications that most contractors won’t touch. Marine HVAC systems for yacht clubs and marinas. Medical refrigeration for healthcare facilities. Custom beer systems for bars and restaurants. Complex installations that require expertise beyond basic refrigeration knowledge.
Our maintenance programs include two annual service visits, priority emergency response, and detailed equipment records. Regular maintenance typically extends equipment life from 10 years to 15-20 years and reduces energy consumption by about 25%. A $129 spring tune-up prevents a $4,000 emergency replacement in August.
We respond to true emergencies in under two hours throughout Nassau County. When we say emergency, we mean your walk-in cooler died during dinner service or your freezer is reading 40 degrees with thousands of dollars of product inside.
If you call us at 2 AM because your ice machine is making weird noises but still producing ice, that’s not an emergency. We’ll schedule you for first thing in the morning. If you call because your walk-in cooler just stopped working and you’ve got a wedding reception in six hours, we’re on our way.
Our emergency trucks stay stocked with common parts for major brands. That’s why about 70% of our emergency calls get fixed on the first visit. The other 30% usually need specialized parts we order and install within 24-48 hours.
Basic service calls typically run $334-$349 in the New York area, but that’s just the diagnostic fee. Actual repair costs depend entirely on what’s wrong with your equipment.
A refrigerant recharge might cost $300-$500. Replacing a failed compressor on a walk-in cooler could run $2,000-$4,000. Installing a new evaporator fan motor might be $400-$800. We give you exact pricing before we start any repair work.
Emergency calls cost more than scheduled service because you’re paying for immediate response and after-hours availability. But emergency repairs almost always cost less than the alternative. If your walk-in cooler fails during Saturday dinner service and you wait until Monday for a cheaper contractor, you’ll lose more in spoiled food and lost revenue than you’d save on the repair bill.
Twice a year minimum. Once before summer when your equipment will work hardest, and once before winter when temperature swings stress the system.
Most Hempstead restaurants and food service businesses schedule us in April and October. Spring service catches problems before summer heat makes your compressors work overtime. Fall service ensures your equipment handles winter temperature changes without door seal failures or efficiency losses.
Equipment that gets serviced twice yearly typically lasts 15-20 years. Equipment that only gets serviced when something breaks usually needs replacement after 10 years. The math is simple: spending $300 annually on maintenance saves you from spending $8,000-$15,000 on premature equipment replacement.
Yes. We handle complete refrigeration installations including walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, reach-in units, display cases, and custom applications.
New installations start with understanding your space, your volume, and your specific needs. A deli in Hempstead has different refrigeration requirements than a catering hall or a marina. We design systems that match your actual usage, not just what fits in the space.
We also handle complex installations that require custom solutions. Beer systems with multiple temperature zones. Marine HVAC systems dealing with space constraints and saltwater corrosion. Medical refrigeration requiring precise temperature control and monitoring. If you need refrigeration expertise beyond basic installation, we’ve spent 40 years solving exactly those problems.
Every technician on our team holds EPA 608 refrigerant certification, which is legally required to handle refrigerants in commercial systems. We maintain all state and local licensing requirements for commercial refrigeration work.
EPA certification isn’t just a piece of paper. It means our technicians understand refrigerant properties, proper handling procedures, leak detection, and environmental regulations. Uncertified technicians can’t legally purchase or handle refrigerants, which means they can’t properly service your equipment.
We’re also fully insured and bonded. When we work on your equipment, you’re protected. If something goes wrong during a repair, our insurance covers it. After 40 years in business, we’ve built our reputation on doing things correctly the first time.
We service all major commercial refrigeration brands including True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Master-Bilt, and dozens of others. If it’s in a commercial kitchen in Hempstead, we’ve worked on it.
Our emergency trucks carry parts for the brands that Long Island businesses actually use. That’s why we can fix most problems on the first visit instead of making you wait days for parts to arrive.
We also use authentic manufacturer parts for repairs, not cheap aftermarket alternatives. Authentic parts cost slightly more upfront but they last longer and protect your equipment investment. When you’re running a business that depends on refrigeration, the last thing you need is a cheap replacement part failing six months after installation.
