Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ice building up on my evaporator coil?
Failed defrost heaters, a faulty terminator, blocked drain, or excessive door opening all cause ice bridging. We find the specific cause.
How often should a freezer defrost?
It depends on load and door traffic — typically 4 to 6 cycles per day. We set the schedule to your actual operating pattern.
Can you repair hot-gas defrost systems?
Yes. We service electric, hot-gas and reverse-cycle defrost on commercial low-temperature systems.
