Commercial Refrigeration in Goonellabah, NSW
What is included
What Is Included in Our Commercial Refrigeration
- We check the cool room door seal, hinges and closer first, because a small gap there loads the whole system.
- We compare the temperature on the controller with a separate reading from inside the display fridge or walk-in.
- We clean the condenser coil, which in a busy kitchen is usually furred up with grease and dust.
- We look at the evaporator fan and defrost heater, and at any ice building on the coil inside the room.
- We clear the evaporator drain line, because a frozen or blocked drain drips onto the floor and the stock.
- We test the compressor, contactor and capacitor, and look for oil stains that point to a leak.
- We replace the part that failed and set the controller back to the temperature your food needs.
- We run the system until it pulls down to temperature, then show you what we changed before we leave.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Commercial Refrigeration?
Accountable for every job, long after the day

Tested and signed off before we leave

Local refrigeration and air conditioning technicians, not a call centre
A refrigeration and air conditioning technician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Cool rooms fail slowly before they fail fast
The first call, what to say
Tell us what the room or cabinet is doing and when you first noticed it. Say whether it is a cool room, a display fridge or a walk-in freezer. If you can, read us the make and model off the rating plate and say what the temperature display shows right now.
What we find, what it means
We check the seals, the coil, the fans and the drain before we touch anything electrical, because the cause is often simple and sometimes only visible once the panel is off. Then we explain what failed, whether it can be repaired or whether replacing it makes more sense, and what each choice means for your stock and your trading.
The work, the test, the handover
We do the repair, clean up the area and then run the system while we watch it come down to temperature. We check the defrost cycle starts and stops properly. Before we leave we walk you through what was wrong, what we changed and what to keep an eye on.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which refrigeration and air conditioning jobs do you take on?
We install, repair and maintain air conditioners, fridges, freezers, ice machines and walk-in freezers, and we repair heating on ducted, split system and reverse cycle units. The service pages list what each job involves.
Do you work on both homes and businesses?
Yes. The work ranges from household fridges and split systems to cool rooms, display fridges, ice machines and walk-in freezers in cafes, restaurants and shops. The faults are often similar, but a commercial unit has stock inside it, so we plan around that.
What types of air conditioner do you install?
We install split, multi-split and ducted systems. Where the right choice is not clear, we look at the room or building, how it is used and where the outdoor unit can sit, and explain the options.
Can you look at a walk-in freezer or cool room?
Yes. We repair walk-in freezers and cool rooms, including temperature that will not hold, compressor and fan motor faults, defrost problems and worn door seals. We also install new commercial refrigeration.
What should I have ready when I call?
The make and model of the unit if you can read it off the rating plate, and a short description of the problem. Not cooling, making a loud noise and leaking water are all useful starting points.
When is the phone answered?
The phone on 0415 245 105 is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a freezer or cool room has stopped out of hours, call and describe what it is doing.
Which towns do you cover?
We work in Goonellabah, Lismore, Alstonville, Wollongbar, Ballina, Lennox Head, Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Ocean Shores. If you are close to those, call and ask.
Do you offer regular maintenance?
Yes, for air conditioners, refrigeration units and cool rooms. Cleaning filters, coils and drain lines before they cause a fault is the main reason a unit runs well for longer. Tell us what you have and how hard it works and we will talk through how often it needs a visit.
Is it worth repairing an old fridge or should I replace it?
It depends on what has failed. A worn door seal, a faulty thermostat or a dead fan motor is usually a straightforward repair. A fault in the sealed system on an old unit is a different question. We explain what we found and the options before any work starts.
My fridge is running but not cold. What can I check first?
Check the door is closing fully and the seal is not torn or dirty. Make sure nothing is blocking the vents inside and that there is some space behind and above the fridge for air to move. If it still will not cool, switch it off, keep the door shut and call.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air or leaking water?
Common causes include a clogged filter, a dirty coil, a blocked drain line and a low refrigerant charge. Some of those are quick to put right and some need a technician to find. Switch it off if water is running onto a wall or floor, and call us.
What should I do if a freezer or cool room stops working out of hours?
Keep the door shut so the cold stays in, and note what the temperature display is reading. Do not try to chip ice or open the unit up. Call and tell us the make and model and what you have seen, and we will talk through what to do next.
