Commercial Refrigeration in Brisbane, QLD

What is included

What Is Included in Our Commercial Refrigeration

  • We follow the refrigeration circuit from the condensing unit to the evaporator inside the room or cabinet.
  • We check temperatures with our own thermometer, because the display on the cabinet can be wrong.
  • Condensing units on roofs and in plant areas are cleaned, and their fans, motors and electrical connections are checked.
  • Evaporator coils are checked for ice build-up, and defrost heaters, timers and drain lines are tested.
  • Door seals, hinges and strip curtains are checked, because a leaking seal makes the plant work harder all day.
  • Faulty compressors, fan motors, thermostats, controllers and valves are replaced, and leaks are found and repaired.
  • Where a unit is beyond repair, we supply, pipe, wire and commission the replacement.
  • We run the plant until it pulls down to temperature, check the controls and tidy up.

How the job runs

Refrigeration work protects what is inside the room

01

Tell us what is running warm

Tell us which cabinet, cool room or freezer is giving trouble, what the temperature reads and what is stored in it. If stock is at risk, say so, because it decides what we do first. The make on the door or the compressor plate helps us bring the right parts.

02

Quote from what the plant needs

Commercial plant varies a lot, so we look at the equipment before pricing. We check what has failed and whether the rest of the system is sound. We explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for the age of the plant, then quote the option you choose.

03

Work on site and handover

Where we can, we work around your trading and keep the kitchen or shop floor clear. Stock stays in the cold for as long as it can. When the plant is running we check temperatures with our own thermometer and tell you what we changed.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems do you work on?

Split systems, ducted air conditioning and commercial air conditioning, plus heating. On the refrigeration side we cover commercial fridges and freezers, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, ice machines and household fridges and freezers. We install, repair and service all the major brands.

Should I choose a split system or ducted air conditioning?

A split system cools one room or one open area, and is the usual choice for a bedroom, a lounge or a small shop. Ducted cooling runs air through ceiling vents to many rooms from one unit, so it suits a whole house when the roof space allows it. What is above your ceiling and how many rooms you want cooled usually decide it.

Should I repair my air conditioner or replace it?

It depends on what has failed and how old the unit is. A fan motor, a drain, a sensor or a small leak is usually worth repairing. A failed compressor on an old system can cost more than the unit is worth, and we will say so when that is the case.

Do you do commercial air conditioning and refrigeration?

Yes. Our commercial clients include retail, hospitality, healthcare, schools and industrial sites. That covers rooftop and ceiling units, cool rooms, walk-in freezers, display fridges and ice machines.

Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?

The most common cause is a blocked condensate drain. A system pulls moisture out of Brisbane's humid air, and when the drain line clogs with grime the water backs up and spills from the indoor unit. A dirty filter or a cracked drain tray can do the same, so it is worth switching the unit off and having it looked at before the water reaches the ceiling.

Why has my air conditioner iced up?

Ice on the indoor unit or the pipes usually means too little air is moving across the coil, or the refrigerant is low. A clogged filter, a dirty coil or a failing fan restricts the air, and a leak lets the charge drop. Switch it off and let it thaw, and have it checked before running it again.

Why is my fridge or freezer running warm?

Common causes are a worn door seal, a condenser coil clogged with dust, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost fault or a problem in the refrigerant circuit. A cabinet pushed too close to a wall or sitting in a hot kitchen also struggles to hold temperature. If you can tell us how warm it is and what you can hear, we can say which is likely.

What happens to my stock if a freezer fails?

Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and move what you can to another working fridge or freezer. Whether food is still safe depends on how warm it got and for how long, which we cannot judge from here. Call us so the fault can be found while the stock is still cold.

How often should an air conditioner or fridge be serviced?

Brisbane runs cooling for much of the year, so a system works longer than it would in a milder city. A regular visit to clean filters and coils, clear the drain and check pressures and airflow catches wear before it stops the system. We offer scheduled maintenance for businesses, so the visits come at set intervals.

Which areas do you cover?

Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs. The Service Areas page lists Rochedale, Springwood, Redland Bay, South Brisbane, Sunnybank, Brisbane CBD, Eight Mile Plains, Underwood, Logan, Capalaba, Mount Gravatt and Ipswich. That list is where the work goes most often, not a boundary, so ask if your suburb is not on it.

What should I have ready when I call?

The type of system, the brand if you can see it on the label, and what it is doing. Note when it started, whether it shows an error code, and whether the switch at the board has tripped. For a fridge or freezer, a temperature reading and whether there is stock inside help.

Do you repair ice machines and cool rooms?

Yes. Ice machines, cool rooms and walk-in freezers are part of the commercial refrigeration work. Common faults include a machine that stops making ice, a room that will not hold temperature, a door seal that has failed and a fan or defrost fault.
