Hear from Our Customers
You know that sinking feeling when you walk into your restaurant and the freezer’s warm. Your inventory’s at risk, your day’s shot, and you’re scrambling to find someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
Here’s what changes when you work with us. Your walk-in freezer runs consistently at the right temperature. Your food stays fresh longer. You sleep better knowing your equipment won’t fail you during the dinner rush.
We’ve been solving these problems for over 40 years in West Hempstead and throughout Long Island. When other companies walk away from complex installations or marine HVAC systems, we step in and get it done.
Chill Xpert Solutions has been the go-to commercial refrigeration company for West Hempstead businesses since the early 1980s. We’ve handled everything from simple restaurant freezers to complex marine HVAC systems that other companies won’t touch.
Our clients include airports, catering halls, delis, and restaurants throughout Nassau County. They stick with us because we show up when we say we will, fix things right the first time, and never surprise them with hidden fees.
We’re not the biggest company in the area, but we’re the one you call when you need it done right. Our dozens of five-star reviews tell that story better than we ever could.
First, we assess your space and cooling needs. Walk-in freezers aren’t one-size-fits-all, and your restaurant’s requirements are different from the deli down the street. We measure, calculate load requirements, and plan the installation around your business hours.
Next comes the installation itself. These units weigh 500 to 800 pounds or more, so we bring the right equipment and team. We handle the electrical connections, refrigerant lines, and make sure your flooring can support the weight properly. A leaning freezer works harder and fails sooner.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly before we leave. Temperature calibration, door seals, drainage systems – we check it all. Then we walk you through the maintenance basics that’ll keep your investment running for years.

Your commercial freezer needs to handle Long Island’s humid summers and temperature swings without breaking down. We install systems designed for this climate, with proper insulation and drainage that prevent the moisture problems that kill cheaper units.
Every installation includes genuine manufacturer parts, not aftermarket substitutes that fail when you need them most. We also factor in your specific business needs – whether you’re storing seafood that needs ultra-low temperatures or baked goods that require different humidity control.
Our West Hempstead clients appreciate that we understand local building codes and work with inspectors who know our reputation. No delays, no surprises, no failed inspections because we cut corners.
Installation costs depend on size, location complexity, and your specific temperature requirements. A basic 6×8 walk-in freezer installation typically runs $8,000 to $15,000, while larger custom units can reach $25,000 or more.
The biggest cost variables are electrical work and structural modifications. If your space needs new electrical service or floor reinforcement, that adds to the project. We always provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Don’t choose based on price alone. A cheap installation that fails in two years costs more than doing it right the first time.
Most installations take 1-3 days, depending on complexity and any electrical or structural work needed. We schedule around your business hours whenever possible – many installations happen overnight or during your slowest days.
Simple replacements in existing spaces often finish in one day. New installations requiring electrical upgrades, concrete work, or custom modifications take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it.
The key is proper planning. Rush jobs lead to problems later. We’d rather take an extra day to do it right than leave you with issues that cost thousands to fix.
Size depends on your menu, delivery schedule, and peak storage needs. Most restaurants need 1-2 cubic feet of freezer space per seat, but high-volume operations or places serving lots of frozen items need more.
Consider your delivery patterns too. If you get deliveries twice weekly, you need more storage than daily delivery operations. Also factor in seasonal peaks – ice cream shops need extra capacity for summer, while soup kitchens peak in winter.
We help you calculate the right size based on your actual business needs, not just available floor space. Oversized units waste energy, while undersized ones force you to store food elsewhere or turn away business.
Yes, our technicians work on all major brands including Kolpak, Master-Bilt, Norlake, American Panel, and many others. We stock common parts for most manufacturers and can source specialty components quickly.
Our 40+ years in business means we’ve seen every type of system. Whether it’s an older unit that needs parts that are hard to find, or a newer energy-efficient model with complex controls, we have the experience to diagnose and fix it properly.
We also maintain relationships with local suppliers throughout Long Island, so we can get parts fast when you need emergency repairs. That means less downtime and less spoiled inventory.
Monthly cleaning of condenser coils, quarterly drain line checks, and annual refrigerant level inspections keep most problems away. Door seals need regular cleaning and occasional replacement – they’re cheap to fix but expensive to ignore.
Temperature monitoring is critical too. If your freezer’s running warmer than usual, don’t wait for a complete failure. Small problems become expensive ones fast in commercial refrigeration.
We offer maintenance contracts that handle all this automatically. Our technicians spot problems before they cause breakdowns, which saves you money and prevents those 2 AM emergency calls when your freezer dies during dinner service.
Tight spaces are our specialty. We’ve installed units in basement kitchens, second-floor restaurants, and spaces where other companies said it couldn’t be done. The key is proper planning and having the right equipment to maneuver heavy components.
We measure everything twice, plan the installation route, and coordinate with building management when needed. Sometimes we need to remove windows, use cranes, or work in sections, but we find a way to make it work.
Our West Hempstead clients include restaurants in converted buildings, strip malls, and other challenging locations. If there’s a way to get a freezer in your space safely and legally, we’ll find it and make it happen.
