    Frequently Asked Questions

    How quickly can you respond to a cool room breakdown in Auckland?

    We understand cool room failures can mean thousands of dollars in spoiled stock. We offer prompt callout services across Auckland with rapid response times. For urgent breakdowns affecting perishable stock, contact us immediately—we prioritise these calls and aim to attend same-day or within 24 hours depending on our schedule.

    What are common causes of cool room failures?

    The most common causes include: thermostat or controller failures, refrigerant leaks (often from vibration or age), compressor issues (worn bearings, electrical faults), blocked or dirty condenser coils (reducing efficiency), faulty door seals allowing warm air ingress, and defrost system problems causing ice buildup. We diagnose the root cause and provide lasting repairs, not quick fixes.

    How much do cool room repairs cost in Auckland?

    Costs vary depending on the fault and parts required. Minor repairs like thermostat replacements or door seal fixes typically cost $200-$400. Major repairs involving compressors or refrigerant leaks range from $800-$2,500+. We provide transparent quotes before proceeding with any work and can often diagnose the issue quickly to give you an accurate cost estimate.

    Do you repair walk-in freezer rooms as well as cool rooms?

    Yes, we service both cool rooms (typically 1-4°C for fresh produce) and freezer rooms (-18°C to -25°C for frozen storage). Freezer systems work harder and have specific defrost requirements—we're experienced with both types and understand the different demands each places on refrigeration components.

    Can you service cool rooms for restaurants and cafes?

    Absolutely. We work with many Auckland hospitality businesses including restaurants, cafes, hotels, and caterers. We understand the urgency of keeping food storage operational and the food safety requirements under NZ regulations. We can schedule servicing during quiet periods to minimise disruption to your operations.

    What should I do if my cool room temperature is rising?

    First, check that the door is sealing properly and hasn't been left ajar. Check the condenser unit (usually outside or on the roof) isn't blocked by debris. If the problem persists, avoid opening the door unnecessarily to retain cold air, and call us immediately. Quick action can prevent stock loss and reduce the extent of repairs needed.

    Do you offer maintenance contracts for cool rooms?

    Yes, we offer tailored maintenance programmes for Auckland businesses. Regular servicing (typically quarterly or bi-annually depending on usage) prevents unexpected breakdowns, extends equipment lifespan, maintains energy efficiency, and helps meet food safety compliance. Contact us to discuss a maintenance schedule suited to your operation.

    Can you repair old cool room systems or do they need replacing?

    We can repair most systems regardless of age, though older units using phased-out refrigerants (like R22) may be more expensive to maintain. We'll assess your system honestly and advise whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. Sometimes a new compressor or control system can extend life by 5-10 years at a fraction of replacement cost.
