Refrigeration kept cold and leak-tight
Refrigeration has no margin for sloppy work. A small leak or a poorly evacuated system means lost product, high energy bills and refrigerant released into the air. We install refrigeration systems with careful brazing, proper evacuation and pressure testing before anything is charged.
Our refrigeration work covers school and institutional kitchens, cafeteria food storage, commercial kitchens and the refrigerant side of split and VRF air-conditioning systems.
Refrigerant is handled by EPA Section 608 certified technicians, with recovery and documentation done properly. As the industry moves to lower global-warming refrigerants, we install equipment and piping that meet the current requirements for the refrigerant in use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install walk-in coolers and freezers?+
Yes. We install the refrigeration systems for walk-in coolers and freezers, including evaporators, condensing units, piping, controls and start-up.
How do you prevent refrigerant leaks?+
We braze copper with a nitrogen purge, pressure test the system and hold a deep vacuum before charging. These steps catch problems before the system goes into service.
Are your technicians certified to handle refrigerant?+
Refrigerant work is performed by technicians holding EPA Section 608 certification, as federal rules require.
Can you replace an old condensing unit without replacing the whole system?+
Often, yes. We assess the existing evaporator, piping and refrigerant type and recommend whether a unit replacement or full system replacement makes sense.
