When the walk-in warms up, the clock starts.
Daily Refrigerations installs and services commercial refrigeration: walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, display cases, prep tables, and ice machines. Built for kitchens that can't afford a warm shelf — restaurants, groceries, butchers, and caterers.
What we work on
Install, repair, and the maintenance that prevents the 2 a.m. call.
Walk-in coolers & freezers
New box installs, panel and door repair, evaporator and condenser replacement, gasket and heater-wire work, floor and drain correction. We size the system to the box and the load, not to the biggest unit on the truck.
Display cases & merchandisers
Open-air cases, deli and bakery cases, glass-door merchandisers. Temperature holding, lighting, anti-sweat circuits, and case-cleaning schedules that keep product legal and presentable.
Reach-ins, prep tables & ice machines
Undercounter units, sandwich and pizza prep tables, blast chillers, and ice machines. Compressor diagnosis, refrigerant leaks, thermostat and control board replacement, descaling and sanitation on ice equipment.
Preventive maintenance plans
Scheduled coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, door and gasket inspection, drain line clearing, and a written temperature log you can show the health inspector. Most emergency failures announce themselves weeks early — maintenance is how you hear it.
Emergency service
Planned: 24/7 response, because product doesn't wait for business hours.
A failed compressor on Friday night can cost a restaurant its whole weekend of inventory. When we launch, our dispatch will run around the clock, with triage over the phone first — sometimes a tripped breaker or an iced coil is a five-minute fix you can do yourself while a tech is en route.
- Phone triage first. We'll walk you through the checks that save a visit when it's something simple.
- Stocked trucks. Common compressors, fan motors, contactors, and controls on board, so most repairs finish in one visit.
- Save-the-product priority. If the fix needs a part we don't carry, we focus first on getting your product into safe temporary holding.
