Commercial Cooler Repair in Fort Lauderdale — 24/7 Refrigeration Service

Fort Lauderdale’s food business splits between the waterfront — Las Olas, the beach, the marinas — and the inland corridors along Federal Highway and Sunrise. The refrigeration is similar. The conditions it works in are not.

Walk-ins, freezers, display cases, bar coolers and ice machines, 24 hours. Call 786-905-5632.

Marina and waterfront kitchens take a beating

Salt air is hard on refrigeration in a way that inland operators never see. It attacks the aluminium fins on the condenser and the steel cabinet around it, and once the fin stock starts corroding the coil loses heat-rejection capacity for good. Cleaning helps; it does not bring back metal that has gone.

If you run a kitchen near the water, budget for shorter equipment life than the spec sheet implies, rinse the condenser with fresh water on a schedule, and specify coated coils when you replace. We will tell you honestly when a unit is past saving instead of selling you one more repair on it.

Broward permitting is a separate process

Fort Lauderdale is Broward County. Refrigeration work that requires a permit goes through a different building department than most Miami contractors are set up for, and the electrical side of a condensing unit replacement is permitted work.

Ask anyone quoting you a system replacement here who is pulling the permit and whether it is in the price. Unpermitted commercial equipment turns into a problem at sale, at lease renewal, and sometimes at inspection.

Common questions

You are based in Miami. How fast can you get here?

Tell us what is happening when you call and we will give you a real time rather than an optimistic one. If we cannot get there fast enough to protect your product, we will say so on the phone instead of letting you wait.

The compressor runs constantly and never cycles off.

Usually a dirty condenser, low refrigerant from a leak, or a door that is not sealing. All three make the system run without ever reaching set point. Running constantly is how compressors die, so it is worth looking at quickly rather than waiting for it to stop.
