Hear from Our Customers
You walk into your restaurant Monday morning and your walk-in is holding at exactly 38 degrees. Your prep crew isn’t scrambling to save product. Your weekend sales weren’t killed by a cooler that quit Saturday afternoon.
That’s what working refrigeration systems should do. They should run quietly in the background while you focus on your actual business.
Most commercial refrigeration problems don’t announce themselves until it’s too late. A compressor that’s been working too hard for months finally gives out during your busiest service. A door seal that’s been leaking cold air suddenly costs you hundreds in wasted electricity. A condenser covered in dust and salt air corrosion that nobody noticed until the whole system overheats.
You need equipment that works and someone who can fix it fast when it doesn’t. In Sag Harbor, where summer brings packed dining rooms and winter demands every dollar count, your refrigeration can’t be the thing that fails you. Whether you’re running a waterfront restaurant dealing with humidity and salt air, or a deli where one dead cooler means thousands in lost inventory, the cost of downtime is too high to gamble on.
We’ve been handling commercial refrigeration and marine HVAC in the Greater New York area for over 40 years. That means we’ve seen what breaks, why it breaks, and how to fix it right the first time.
We’re not a general contractor who dabbles in refrigeration. We specialize in it. We know the difference between a coastal restaurant dealing with salt air corrosion and an inland catering hall with different ventilation needs. We understand why Sag Harbor businesses face unique challenges that a generic service company from two towns over won’t catch.
When you call our emergency line, you reach a real person who can dispatch a qualified technician, usually within two hours. Our trucks stay stocked with common parts for major brands so about 70% of emergency calls get fixed on the spot. The rest get temporary solutions to keep you running until we can source what’s needed.
We’ve earned dozens of five-star reviews by showing up when we say we will, charging what we quoted, and explaining what’s actually wrong instead of upselling you on equipment you don’t need.
You call or contact us with a problem or a project. If it’s an emergency, we dispatch someone immediately and you’ll typically see a technician within two hours. If it’s a new installation or maintenance inquiry, we schedule a time that works for you.
We show up and assess what’s actually happening. For emergency repairs, our technician diagnoses the problem and explains what needs to happen in plain language. No jargon, no runaround. If we have the parts on the truck, we fix it right there. If we need to order something, we’ll get you a temporary solution and a timeline for the permanent fix.
For new installations or replacements, we provide a free estimate that breaks down equipment costs, labor, permits, and anything else involved. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why it makes sense long-term. We don’t hide costs or surprise you later.
Once you approve the work, we handle everything from permits to installation to testing. We make sure your system is running efficiently before we leave. Then we’re available 24/7 if something goes wrong down the road.
For maintenance customers, we schedule regular checkups that catch small problems before they become expensive failures. Clean condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, test door seals, inspect electrical connections. A well-maintained system uses about 25% less electricity and lasts years longer than one that’s ignored until it breaks.

We install and service all types of commercial refrigeration systems. Walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in units, prep tables, display cases, ice machines, beer tap cooling systems. If it keeps food cold or pours a perfect draft, we work on it.
Sag Harbor’s restaurant scene runs on reliability. Places like The Beacon and K Pasa can’t afford downtime during summer when every table is full. Harbor Market needs coolers that hold temp perfectly for specialty products. Waterfront spots face salt air and humidity that generic contractors often miss because they don’t understand marine environments.
We do. We’re one of the few companies in the area that specialize in both commercial refrigeration and marine HVAC. That matters here because coastal businesses need marine-grade components and proper ventilation to prevent the corrosion problems that plague equipment near the water.
For new installations, we help you choose equipment that fits your actual needs and budget, not just what’s most expensive. For existing systems, we keep them running efficiently with preventive maintenance that saves you money on energy costs and emergency repairs. A dirty condenser coil makes your compressor work 40% harder and fail years earlier. Regular maintenance catches that before it becomes a $5,000 compressor replacement.
We also handle complex custom work like specialized beer systems and unique cooling solutions that other contractors can’t match. If you need something beyond standard equipment, we’ll figure it out.
We typically respond within two hours for emergency calls in Sag Harbor and the surrounding Hamptons area. When you call our emergency line, you reach a real person who can dispatch a qualified technician immediately, not an answering service that might get back to you Monday morning.
Our emergency trucks stay stocked with common parts for major brands like compressors, thermostats, door seals, and fan motors. That means about 70% of emergency calls get fixed on the spot. For the other 30%, we’ll get you a temporary solution to keep your coolers running while we source the specific part you need.
We know that a walk-in cooler that dies Friday night can cost you thousands in spoiled food plus all your weekend sales if you can’t serve customers. That’s why we’re available 24/7 and prioritize fast response times. Most restaurants do their highest volume on weekends, so refrigeration failures during peak times aren’t just inconvenient, they’re devastating to your bottom line.
Regular maintenance means we come out on a scheduled basis to inspect and service your refrigeration systems before problems happen. We clean condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, test door seals and gaskets, inspect electrical connections, verify temperature controls are accurate, and look for early warning signs of component failure.
A dirty condenser coil makes your compressor work about 40% harder and can shorten its lifespan by years. A small refrigerant leak that goes unnoticed will eventually cause your system to fail completely. A worn door seal wastes electricity and makes your compressor run constantly. We catch these issues early when they’re cheap and easy to fix.
Maintenance customers save money two ways. First, fewer emergency repairs because we’re preventing problems instead of reacting to failures. Second, lower energy costs because a well-maintained system uses about 25% less electricity than a neglected one. Most of our maintenance customers get 15+ years from their equipment instead of the typical 10-12 years you’d expect without regular service.
Yes, and this is actually one of our specialties. We’re one of the few companies in the area that handle both commercial refrigeration and marine HVAC, which means we understand the unique challenges that waterfront locations face in Sag Harbor.
Salt air and humidity cause corrosion problems that generic contractors often miss. Standard components that work fine inland will fail prematurely in coastal environments. You need marine-grade parts and proper ventilation to prevent rust and corrosion from destroying your equipment years earlier than it should.
We’ve worked with restaurants throughout Sag Harbor’s waterfront and marina areas for decades. We know what holds up in these conditions and what doesn’t. When we install or service refrigeration systems near the water, we account for environmental factors that most contractors don’t even think about until the equipment starts failing. That’s the difference between a system that lasts 8 years and one that makes it to 15.
The honest answer is it depends on size, features, and what condition your existing space is in. A small reach-in replacement might run a few thousand dollars. A large walk-in cooler for a busy restaurant could be $15,000 to $30,000 or more depending on specifications.
We provide free estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for: equipment costs, labor, permits, electrical work if needed, and any modifications to your space. You’ll see the numbers in plain language before we start any work. No hidden costs, no surprises later.
Here’s what matters more than the upfront cost: how long the system lasts and how much it costs to run. Cheap equipment that fails in 7 years and uses 30% more electricity isn’t actually cheaper than quality equipment that runs efficiently for 15 years. We help you understand the real cost of ownership, not just the sticker price. Then you can make an informed decision based on your actual budget and needs, not just what we want to sell you.
Yes, we service commercial ice machines and beer tap cooling systems along with all other types of food service refrigeration. These systems have their own quirks and common failure points that require specific expertise.
Ice machines are critical for bars and restaurants, especially during summer in Sag Harbor when demand is highest. Common problems include water line issues, failing pumps, dirty condensers causing freeze-ups, and scale buildup from hard water. We diagnose the actual problem instead of just replacing parts until something works.
Beer systems are more complex than most people realize. The glycol cooling system that keeps your lines cold has to maintain exact temperatures or you get foamy pours and wasted product. We install new systems, repair existing ones, and handle everything from glycol leaks to compressor failures to temperature control issues.
Like all our emergency work, we respond fast and carry common parts on our trucks. If your ice machine dies on a Saturday or your beer system goes down during a busy weekend, we’ll get someone there quickly to assess the problem and get you back up and running.
We work on all major commercial refrigeration brands. Our technicians are trained and experienced with the equipment you’ll find in most restaurants, delis, catering halls, and commercial kitchens throughout Sag Harbor and the Greater New York area.
That includes everything from walk-in coolers and freezers to reach-in units, under-counter refrigeration, prep tables, display cases, ice machines, and specialized systems like beer tap cooling. Whether your equipment is a few years old or decades old, we have the expertise to diagnose problems and source the right parts.
We also help you choose new equipment when it’s time to replace something that’s beyond repair. We’re not tied to one manufacturer, which means we can recommend what actually makes sense for your specific situation and budget. Sometimes that’s a premium brand that’ll last 15+ years with proper maintenance. Sometimes it’s a mid-range option that gives you solid performance at a better price point. We’ll explain the differences so you can make an informed decision instead of just buying whatever we want to sell you.
