Our refrigeration team is on a separate emergency line from our HVAC dispatch, dedicated to food service, medical, and cold-chain clients who can't wait.

Equipment & Brands We Work With

We service Hussmann, Tyler, Hill Phoenix, Heatcraft, Copeland, Danfoss, and Tecumseh commercial refrigeration equipment. We're licensed for R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, R-134a, R-290, and HFO blends. Our refrigeration technicians carry recovery equipment, electronic leak detectors, and digital manifold gauges on every van.

How We Work

Walk-in failures go to the front of our dispatch queue. We prioritise refrigeration calls from food-service clients because the cost of waiting is immediate and real. For planned installations, we coordinate with your health authority refrigeration requirements, panel cooler supplier, and your electrical contractor to make sure refrigeration and electrical work happen in the right sequence.

Surrey Commercial HVAC Services doesn't sub out to random crews. Our own licensed technicians handle every step. When the job is done, you get a complete handover package: equipment manuals, warranty registration, service records, and a direct line to your account technician.

Common Questions

What refrigerants do you work with?

R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, R-22 (service only, no new installs), R-134a, and the newer HFO blends. We're licensed for all commercial refrigerants and keep up with Environment Canada transition regulations.

How quickly can you respond to a walk-in cooler failure?

Walk-in cooler failures are treated as emergencies because of food safety. We prioritise refrigeration calls on our emergency line and aim to be on-site within 4 hours for commercial clients with a service agreement.

Can you install a new walk-in cooler from scratch?

Yes. We design the refrigeration circuit, select the condensing unit and evaporator, and install the complete system. We coordinate with your panel cooler supplier or supply our own panels.

My reach-in case is sweating on the glass. Is that a refrigeration problem?

Not necessarily. Excessive condensation on display case doors is often caused by failed door gaskets, broken anti-sweat heaters, or high store humidity. We diagnose before recommending any refrigeration work.
