Tips and guides

Equipment brands we work on

Most kitchens and stores end up with a mix of brands. These are the ones that turn up most, sorted by equipment.

This list isn’t complete. Commercial refrigeration works on the same basic principles no matter whose name is on the door, so if your brand is missing, call and ask.

One thing to know first: we’re an independent service company. We aren’t a factory-authorized servicer for these manufacturers, and the brand names belong to them. If your unit’s still under warranty, check with the manufacturer before calling anyone, because they may require their own servicer and you don’t want to pay for a repair they would have covered.

Ice machines

The big names in commercial ice machines are Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic and Scotsman, and we work on all of them. Cleaning and repairs are covered on the ice machine page.

Reach-ins and prep tables

True is one of the most common names on a reach-in door. You’ll also see Traulsen, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Atosa, Delfield and Continental, and most of them make prep tables as well. Bar and keg coolers often come from the same companies. See reach-in repair or prep table repair.

Walk-ins and display cases

A walk-in is usually several brands put together. The panels might be Norlake or Kolpak, with a Heatcraft evaporator and condensing unit and a Copeland compressor inside. That’s normal, and it’s why we ask for the tag on each piece if you can get to it.

Grocery and convenience store cases are often Hill Phoenix or Hussmann, and bakery and deli cases are frequently Structural Concepts or Federal.

Finding the model tag

Look for a metal plate or sticker inside the door or on the back of the cabinet. On a walk-in, check the condensing unit and the evaporator too, since each has its own. A photo of the tag gives the tech the model and serial number along with the refrigerant and voltage, which makes it a lot more likely the right part comes on the first trip. You can send it along when you contact us.

No tag at all? It happens on older units. Tell us what you can and the tech will work it out on site.

Common questions

Are you an authorized servicer for these brands?

No, we're an independent company. If your unit is under manufacturer warranty, check with them first.

My walk-in has one brand on the box and another on the condensing unit. Is that normal?

Yes, completely. Walk-ins are usually built from one company's panels and another company's refrigeration.

Can you get parts for my brand?

Parts for the major commercial brands are easy to get from supply houses. Having the model and serial number speeds it up.

Service call

Cooler running warm?

Call and tell us what it's doing and what the thermometer says. You'll get an arrival window on the phone, and a written price before anything gets fixed.
