What does commercial refrigeration usually cost?

Reach-in diagnostic: $200–$450. Ice machine cleaning: $250–$700. Door gasket or door heater: $200–$650. Planning estimate. Not a Fixt quote. On Fixt you pay the bid you accept. There is no homeowner fee. On-site jobs use New York ZIP codes 100–149.

What should I ask a commercial refrigeration pro?

What temperature is the box, and what food is in it? When was the condenser last cleaned? Is the ice machine on a filter, and when was the cartridge changed? Do you quote sealed-system work only after gauges? Can the unit be taken off the line during service?

How is this different from walk-in cooler service?

Reach-ins and ice machines sit on the line and often fail from dirty condensers and open doors. Walk-ins add door gaskets, defrost, and a larger compressor. Post them as separate jobs if both are down.

Commercial refrigeration in New York City

Typical issues

A reach-in that is warm and running may have a blocked condenser, a failed fan, or a door that does not close on the line.
An ice machine that is running and not dropping ice is often scale, a dirty filter, or a harvest problem.
A prep table that holds temperature in the morning and loses it at lunch is often the lid, the pans, or the condenser in a hot kitchen.
Water under a reach-in is usually the drain or a frozen evaporator, not a refrigerant puddle.
Log the temperature. A box at 50°F with food in it is a different priority from a box at 42°F overnight.
