You get a flat $135 service call and a written price before any work starts. 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.

- Drain line frozen and water pooling
- Freezer above 0°F or ice cream turning soft
- Ice forming on the floor, door frame or ceiling

What our technicians do
We see the same pattern again and again — a defrost heater or timer fails, the coil ices solid, airflow stops and the box warms up even though the compressor never shuts off. We fix the root cause, clear the ice safely and check the refrigerant charge before we leave.

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.
