Our technicians arrive with common parts and fix most problems on the first visit. A walk-in freezer should hold between -10°F and 0°F. Freezers work harder than coolers: they rely on a timed defrost cycle, heated door frames and drain line heaters, and any one of those can fail and leave you with a block of ice and soft product.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my walk-in freezer icing up?
Usually a failed defrost component (heater, timer or termination thermostat), a leaking door gasket that lets humid air in, or a frozen drain line. All three are repairable.
Is it worth repairing an older walk-in freezer?
The insulated box usually lasts decades. The refrigeration system is what wears out, and replacing a condensing unit or evaporator is far cheaper than a new walk-in.
How much does walk-in freezer repair cost in Ballantyne, NC?
The service call is a flat $135, which covers the trip and diagnosis. After diagnosis you get a written price for the repair before any work starts, and you save $50 on the repair when you book online or mention our website.
