Walk-ins

Walk-In Refrigeration Systems

A walk-in is only as good as the refrigeration system on it. We install condensing units and evaporators matched to the box, run and evacuate the refrigerant piping, and set up defrost and temperature controls so the box holds temperature through a busy service. If your existing system is struggling, start with walk-in cooler repair or walk-in freezer repair.

Condensing units, evaporators and controls

Walk-in brands we commonly service include Kolpak and Norlake, with Heatcraft and Copeland condensing units.

How it works

A planned install keeps downtime predictable. After startup, keep new equipment running with commercial preventive maintenance.

Sizing & Quote

We size equipment to the actual load and give you a written quote with the equipment and scope spelled out.

Scheduled Install

We plan delivery, crane lifts and shutdowns around your business hours wherever possible.

Why replace

Why Replace Aging Equipment

Not sure whether to repair or replace? Start with our commercial repair team and we'll give you a straight answer.

Lower Operating Costs

Newer, correctly sized equipment uses less energy to hold temperature than worn-out units.

Fewer Emergency Calls

Replacing failing equipment on your schedule beats replacing it mid-service after a breakdown.

Planned Downtime

Installs are scheduled and coordinated so you know when equipment will be offline.

Reliable Performance

Consistent box temperatures, comfortable dining rooms and kitchens, and dependable ice production.

FAQ

Commercial Installation Questions

Common questions about commercial equipment installation and replacement

Rooftop units (RTUs), walk-in cooler and freezer refrigeration systems including condensing units and evaporators, reach-in refrigerators and freezers, ice machines, and make-up air units for commercial kitchens. We work with restaurants, bars, grocery and convenience stores, breweries, schools, churches, offices and warehouses.

For RTUs we look at the space, occupancy, kitchen and equipment heat loads, and how the existing unit has performed. For walk-ins we look at box size, insulation, target temperature, how often the door is opened, and how much warm product goes in. Oversized or undersized equipment both cause problems, so we size to the actual load.

We plan replacements around your hours wherever possible, coordinate equipment delivery and any crane lift ahead of time, and walk you through the schedule before work starts. For walk-ins, we'll talk through options for keeping product cold during the changeover.

We'll diagnose the existing equipment first. If a repair makes sense, we'll tell you. If the unit is aging, failing repeatedly, or the repair cost is close to replacement, we'll lay out both options so you can decide based on cost and downtime.

Ask us about payment options when we put together your quote. Call (208) 477-1897 to get started.
