Reach-In Refrigerator repair for University City businesses
University City's restaurants, hotels, campus dining and hospital kitchens serve tens of thousands of students and workers every day. We serve businesses near UNC Charlotte, J.W. Clay Boulevard and the Atrium Health University City campus, including ZIP codes 28262, 28213 in Mecklenburg County, NC.
Many of our University City customers are along UNC Charlotte and W.T. Harris Boulevard, where busy kitchens run reach-in refrigerator equipment hard from open to close. When a part is not on the truck, we order it the same day from Charlotte-area suppliers and come back to J.W. Clay Boulevard as soon as it arrives. Mecklenburg County health inspectors check cold-holding at 41°F or below and hot-holding at 135°F or above — we repair your reach-in refrigerator to hold those numbers. Because we also work in NoDa and Charlotte, a technician is often already nearby when a University City business calls.
