| Ice machine making little or no ice | Often scale on the evaporator, a clogged water filter, or a dirty condenser. |
| Frost or ice building up inside the cabinet | Usually a door that is not sealing, a failed defrost heater or timer, or a blocked drain. |
| Water pooling under or inside the unit | Usually a clogged or frozen condensate drain line. |
| Compressor runs nonstop | Often a dirty condenser coil, a refrigerant leak, or a large load of warm product added at once. |

Your refrigeration footprint is your inventory and your health score. We service the full back-of-house: reach-in refrigerators and freezers, sandwich and pizza prep tables, undercounters, glass-door merchandisers, ice machines, soda dispensers, and beer caves — for restaurants, c-stores, groceries, and food processors across the Mid-South.
We carry common compressors, EC motors, expansion valves, and controls so we can usually finish on the first visit instead of leaving you down for a week waiting on parts.
We're EPA Section 608 Universal certified with proper recovery and recordkeeping on every refrigerant transaction — including the natural refrigerants (R-744 CO₂ and R-290 propane) that are increasingly common in modern food-retail equipment.
Who calls us for this
Questions
Do you offer emergency commercial refrigeration service?
Yes — we provide emergency and after-hours response for commercial refrigeration, because a down box can't wait for a Monday appointment. Call 901-365-2848.
Can you handle natural refrigerants like CO₂ and propane?
Yes. We're trained on R-744 (CO₂) transcritical and R-290 (propane) self-contained equipment that's increasingly common in c-stores and food retail.
Will you sign a preventive-maintenance contract?
Most of our restaurant and grocery accounts are on a scheduled PM covering coil cleaning, gasket inspection, refrigerant verification, and a written report. Pricing scales with the number of units.
