Duluth, GA Restaurant and Market Refrigeration Repair

Duluth Equipment We Service

We service self-contained commercial refrigeration units (5 lbs of refrigerant or less) per EPA Section 608 Type I requirements. We do not service walk-in coolers or remote/rack refrigeration systems.

Duluth's Commercial Corridors

Pleasant Hill Road. Restaurants, bakeries, cafés and markets packed into shopping centers between I-85 and Peachtree Industrial. Kitchens are busy late into the evening, and their reach-ins and prep tables hold a lot of variety: raw meats, dozens of side dishes, sauces, rice cakes and desserts.

Satellite Boulevard and the Gas South District. The arena and convention center, the hotels around them and the restaurants that fill up before and after events. Event-day surges push bar coolers, ice machines and display cases to their limit.

Downtown Duluth and the Town Green. Smaller restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and dessert spots in and around the historic center.

Peachtree Industrial and Buford Highway. Strip-center restaurants, convenience stores and markets with glass-door beverage coolers and reach-in freezers.

Offices, schools and churches. Break rooms, cafeterias and fellowship halls with undercounters, milk coolers and ice machines.

Bakeries, Cake Shops and Dessert Cafés

Duluth has a lot of bakeries and dessert cafés, and their display cases do a delicate job. Cream cakes, mousse, fruit tarts and bingsu toppings need steady cold without drying out, and the glass has to stay clear so customers can see what they're buying. A case that fogs every afternoon, sweats on the shelves or runs a few degrees warm at the front is a real problem even before anything spoils. The usual causes are a failed door or glass heater, a gasket that leaks, a fan that has slowed or a case set near the front door where warm, humid air rushes in. We check all of those, plus the controller and the condenser, before we replace anything.

Busy Kitchens With Lots of Small Containers

Restaurants that serve many small side dishes keep dozens of containers in their reach-ins and prep tables. That's hard on airflow: stacks of containers pressed against the back wall or the evaporator cover block the cold air from moving, so the top shelf and the front of the rail warm first. Before blaming a part, try leaving a finger's width of space along the back wall and keeping the fan cover clear. If the cabinet still runs warm, call us. Heavy, constant door traffic also wears gaskets and hinges faster, and we check those on every visit.

Event Days at the Gas South District

On nights with a concert, a game or a convention, nearby restaurants, hotel bars and venues go through drinks and ice at a pace their equipment rarely sees otherwise. If a bar cooler has a dirty condenser or a tired fan, an event night is when it gives up. A few days before a big date, clean the condenser grilles, check door gaskets, change the ice machine filter and make sure nothing is stacked against the air intakes. If a unit fails on the day, call us right away and tell us your event schedule when you book.

When a Unit Starts Warming

• Measure the food, not the air. A probe thermometer tells you where product stands against the FDA Food Code limit of 41°F for cold holding.
• Move raw meats, seafood and prepared side dishes to a working unit first.
• Check power and settings: the plug, the breaker and the controller.
• Clear the grille and brush off grease and dust with the unit unplugged.
• Write down times and temperatures for your food safety records.

A Duluth Service Call

Booking. Someone answers 24/7. Tell us the equipment, the make and model from the data plate, the temperature you're seeing and your hours, and you'll get a same- or next-day window.

Diagnosis. The technician measures product and air temperatures and checks the condenser, fans, controller, probe, defrost system, start components and compressor, along with gaskets, hinges, drains and, on display cases, the door and glass heaters. Refrigerant work goes only to an EPA 608 certified technician.

Approval. You hear the cause and what it takes to fix in plain language before any part goes in.

Repair. Genuine or OEM-approved parts are installed and the unit is watched as it begins to recover. When a part has to be ordered, you'll know which one and when we're coming back to fit it. Duluth commercial repairs are covered for up to 6 months on parts and labor.

Repair or Replace?

Fans, controllers, probes, defrost heaters, glass and door heaters, start components, gaskets, hinges and drain parts are all standard replacements, and many compressors can be swapped as well. Replacement becomes the smarter choice when the cabinet is rusted, the insulation is wet or the sealed system fails on an older, basic unit. We'll explain both paths and let you decide.
