When Your Commercial Refrigeration Fails, Every Minute Costs You Money
A walk-in cooler that stops holding temperature at 2 AM. An ice machine that quits during your busiest weekend. A display case fogging up in front of customers. For restaurant owners and business operators across San Antonio, commercial refrigeration failure is not just an inconvenience — it is lost inventory, lost revenue, and a health code risk that cannot wait until Monday.
EMAX HVAC provides commercial refrigeration repair, installation, and maintenance for businesses throughout San Antonio and surrounding areas. Same team, same license, same 24/7 availability that has kept homes and businesses comfortable since 2016 — now applied to your commercial refrigeration equipment.
Commercial Refrigeration Repair, Installation & Maintenance — All Brands
We work on the equipment your business depends on, regardless of brand or age. Whether it was installed last year or has been running for a decade, our licensed technicians diagnose the problem and fix it right.
Walk-In Coolers & Walk-In Freezers
Temperature drops, compressor failures, door seal leaks, evaporator fan issues, and thermostat malfunctions. We repair and install walk-in units for restaurants, grocery stores, warehouses, and commercial kitchens across San Antonio.
The workhorses of every commercial kitchen. We handle compressor replacements, refrigerant recharges, thermostat calibration, condenser cleaning, and full unit replacements when repair is no longer cost-effective.
Low ice production, unusual noises, water leaks, and dirty ice are the most common calls we get. We service and repair all ice machine types — cube, flake, and nugget — and help you choose the right unit when it is time to replace.
Open-air and glass-door display cases for delis, bakeries, convenience stores, and beverage coolers. We fix fogging, temperature inconsistencies, lighting issues, and compressor problems that affect product presentation and food safety.
Custom cold storage solutions for businesses that need large-scale refrigeration. From panel repair and refrigerant leak detection to full system installation, we handle projects that standard HVAC companies avoid.

Commercial Refrigeration FAQs — San Antonio
How quickly can EMAX HVAC respond to a commercial refrigeration emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency service across San Antonio. Response times depend on your location and current demand, but we prioritize refrigeration emergencies because we understand the financial risk of equipment downtime. Call or text 210-920-1412 any time — day or night.
What brands of commercial refrigeration equipment does EMAX HVAC repair?
We work on all major brands including True, Turbo Air, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Traulsen, Beverage-Air, Master-Bilt, and Kolpak. If your equipment runs on a refrigeration cycle, we can diagnose and repair it regardless of the manufacturer.
How often should commercial refrigeration equipment be professionally serviced?
Most commercial refrigeration units should receive preventive maintenance every 3 to 6 months depending on usage and environment. High-volume restaurants and kitchens with heavy grease exposure benefit from quarterly service. Regular maintenance extends equipment life and prevents costly emergency breakdowns.
Can EMAX HVAC install new commercial refrigeration systems?
Yes. We handle full installations of walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, reach-in units, ice machines, and display cases. Every installation includes proper sizing for your space, correct refrigerant charging, and electrical connections per Texas code requirements
What are the signs that my walk-in cooler needs repair?
Temperature fluctuations, ice buildup on evaporator coils, the compressor running constantly without cycling off, unusual noises, water pooling on the floor, and warm spots inside the unit. If your stored product feels warmer than usual, call immediately — waiting can lead to inventory loss and health code violations.
Does EMAX HVAC offer maintenance contracts for commercial refrigeration?
Yes. We offer preventive maintenance plans tailored to your equipment and business volume. A maintenance contract includes scheduled inspections, coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, thermostat calibration, and priority scheduling for emergency calls. Call 210-920-1412 to discuss a plan that fits your operation.
