Questions worth asking before your walk-in goes down again
Are their technicians NATE-certified, EPA 608-certified, and actually experienced with commercial systems?
Credentials help separate commercial refrigeration techs from general HVAC crews before a walk-in, freezer, or case failure becomes guesswork.
What's the service call fee, hourly rate, and parts markup — can you get it in writing?
Written pricing makes it easier to compare trip fees, hourly labor, after-hours charges, and parts markup before the invoice surprises you.
Do they stock common parts, or are you waiting months for a board?
Truck stock and parts sourcing matter when inventory is warming up; ask which controls, fans, compressors, and ice-machine parts they can access fast.
What's the guaranteed response time for emergency breakdowns — nights and weekends?
Emergency response windows should be specific enough to plan food safety decisions, staff coverage, and whether backup refrigeration is needed.
What do their preventative maintenance contracts actually cover?
A good PM scope lists coil cleaning, temperature checks, door gasket review, refrigerant leak checks, and documentation instead of a vague tune-up promise.
Do they have experience with your specific equipment — walk-ins, display cases, ice machines?
Model-specific experience reduces callbacks because a deli case, reach-in freezer, walk-in cooler, and ice machine can fail in very different ways.
What warranty do they provide on repairs and installed parts?
Repair and parts warranties should be separated in writing so you know what is covered if the same failure returns after service.
Can they provide references from other commercial accounts?
Restaurant, grocery, bar, hotel, and convenience-store references show whether the shop can handle real downtime pressure, not just easy scheduled work.
