Same-Day When Available

A walk-in cooler or reach-in that stops holding temperature is urgent for a restaurant, deli, grocery, bar or cafe: NYC food code requires cold food held at 41°F or below, so a failing unit is a food-loss risk and an inspection risk at the same time. Repair Asap LLC offers same-business-day triage when available during business hours — we review the unit type, model and serial number, current and target temperatures, photos of the condenser area and door seals, and how much stock is at risk before booking the visit.

Good-fit commercial refrigeration triage includes temperature checks and logging observations, condenser coil and airflow cleaning, door gasket, hinge, latch and closer review with replacement planning, visible drain line cleaning, door sweeps and strip curtains, unit leveling, and quarterly maintenance planning so coils and gaskets are handled before they take a box down mid-service. We also clean and maintain ice machines, and we support COI paperwork for commercial buildings and property managers.

Refrigerant charging or recovery, compressor and sealed-system work, board-level electronics and manufacturer warranty service may require an EPA Section 608 certified technician, a refrigeration specialist or the manufacturer. We flag that before scheduling — and triage first means you do not pay a specialist's emergency rate to find out the real problem was a dirty condenser coil or a worn door gasket.

We triage commercial refrigeration across Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Western Long Island or Nassau County when scope and travel fit. Text the unit type, model and serial number, current temperature, photos, urgency and COI requirements for the fastest review.

Know the Cost Before Anyone Shows Up

1. Free Photo Estimate

Text photos and the model number to +1 (775) 310-7770 or send them through the form — you get a real answer and a price range for free.

2. $99 On-Site Assessment

Can't tell from photos? We come out and diagnose on site. The $99 is credited toward the job if you hire us — so the assessment costs $0 when we do the work.

3. Work From $150

Every job is quoted and approved before work starts — no surprises. $150 work minimum; NYC sales tax is added separately where applicable.

What We Can Triage

Walk-in cooler or freezer not holding temperature

Temperature reading plus airflow, condenser, door-seal and strip-curtain review before any specialist visit is booked.

Reach-in fridge or prep table running warm

Line equipment checked for blocked airflow, dirty coils, overloaded pans and door-seal leaks during your working hours.

Dirty condenser coils or blocked airflow

Kitchen grease and dust choke condensers fast; we clean accessible coils and clear intake and discharge clearance.

Door gasket, hinge, latch or closer wear

Torn gaskets and sagging doors leak cold air all day; we review, measure and plan exact-fit replacements.

Visible drain line clogs, ice or pooling water

Accessible drain lines cleaned, with pan and pitch conditions observed before water reaches stock or flooring.

Quarterly cleaning and maintenance planning

A scheduled coil, gasket, drain and temperature routine that cuts failures and inspection-day surprises.

What Gets Flagged First

Refrigerant charging or recovery

Any refrigerant work requires an EPA Section 608 certified technician; we route it before scheduling.

Compressor or sealed-system replacement

Sealed-system failures go to a refrigeration specialist once triage rules out coils, seals and airflow.

Board-level control and electronic repair

Failed controllers and control boards are routed to a specialist or the manufacturer after symptom review.

Manufacturer warranty-authorized service

Units under warranty are flagged first so an outside visit does not put your coverage at risk.

New circuits or permit-level buildout

Dedicated power, new outlets and permit work may require a Licensed Master Electrician; we flag it up front.

What to Send Before Booking

+

Unit type, brand, model and serial number

Walk-in, reach-in, prep table or beverage cooler details tell us what parts and scope to expect.

+

Current and target temperature readings

The actual box temperature against the 41°F food-safety line sets the urgency of the visit.

+

Photos of the unit, condenser area and door seals

Coil condition, clearance and gasket wear are usually visible before anyone is on site.

+

When the symptom started and what changed

A slow temperature drift and a sudden failure point to different causes and different routing.

+

Access notes: kitchen hours, loading and elevators

Service windows, freight elevator rules and building requirements shape realistic scheduling.

+

COI requirements and warranty status

Certificate of insurance needs and active warranties are confirmed before the visit is booked.

Commercial Refrigeration FAQ

Do you repair walk-in coolers in NYC?

We triage them. Repair Asap LLC handles the walk-in scope a handyman does well: temperature checks, condenser coil and airflow cleaning, door gasket, hinge and closer replacement planning, visible drain line cleaning, sweeps, curtains and leveling. Refrigerant, compressor and sealed-system work is routed to an EPA Section 608 certified technician or refrigeration specialist — and triage often shows the real problem was a dirty coil or a bad gasket.

How fast can you get to a cooler that is down?

We offer same-business-day triage when available, with the fastest response during business hours. Text the unit type, model and serial number, current temperature and photos, and we confirm the earliest practical visit. While you wait, keep doors closed and move at-risk stock to a working unit.

Do you provide a COI for commercial buildings?

Yes. Repair Asap LLC is insured and supports certificate of insurance requests for commercial landlords, property managers and managed buildings. Send the COI requirements with your booking details so the paperwork is ready before the visit.

What happens if my unit needs refrigerant or a new compressor?

We flag it before scheduling and route the work to an EPA Section 608 certified technician or a refrigeration specialist. That triage step protects you from paying a specialist's emergency rate to discover a dirty condenser coil or a worn gasket. If the specialist path is confirmed, you go in with temperatures, photos and observations already documented.

Do you offer maintenance plans for commercial refrigeration?

Yes. We plan quarterly cleaning schedules covering condenser coils, door gaskets and closers, visible drain lines, sweeps and curtains, and temperature checks across your units, including ice machines. A regular routine keeps boxes at 41°F or below and reduces failures during service hours.

How much does commercial refrigeration cost in NYC?

Photo and text estimates are free — send the model number and photos and you get a real price range. An on-site assessment visit is $99, credited toward the job if you hire us. Actual work starts at the $150 work minimum and is quoted before anything begins; NYC sales tax is added separately where applicable.
