Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide emergency refrigeration repairs?

No. Our refrigeration focus is new installations and planned replacement systems, not emergency repair work on existing systems installed by others.

Can you replace or upgrade old display chillers?

Absolutely. We can retrofit new units into existing cabinetry or design modern replacements with better energy efficiency and temperature control.

Do you install both commercial and domestic refrigeration?

Our focus is light commercial refrigeration installations for restaurants, bars, retail, and small-scale cold rooms. We do not generally install domestic household fridges.

Can you install to our compliance requirements?

Yes. If you provide the compliance requirements for your site, we can factor them into the refrigeration design and installation. We can also discuss practical details such as access, temperature control and equipment suitability.
