Refrigeration breakdown repairs
A refrigeration unit breaking down can cause serious problems for any business, from spoiled stock to lost trade while you wait for a fix. Most breakdowns come down to a handful of common causes — worn seals, blocked condensers, refrigerant leaks or failing compressors — and we carry the spares and materials to fix most of these on site during the same visit. There's no callout fee around our Yorkshire base, and we offer competitive pricing throughout the North of England.
New & replacement refrigeration units
Whether you're kitting out a new venue or replacing a unit that's become unreliable, we supply and install a range of commercial refrigeration systems suited to your business. Getting the right unit in place from the start reduces the risk of unexpected breakdown costs down the line, and we're happy to advise on what actually suits your volume and space rather than upselling capacity you don't need.
Refrigeration servicing
A serviced unit runs more efficiently and fails less often, which protects both your energy costs and the stock inside it. We service a wide range of commercial refrigeration equipment on a regular schedule, checking the components most likely to wear — door seals, condensers, refrigerant levels and electrical connections — before they turn into an emergency callout.
Why businesses across the North of England choose Alpine Cooling Solutions
We've provided installation, servicing and repair for commercial refrigeration since 2002, building long-term relationships with businesses rather than one-off callouts. That history means we often know your equipment before we arrive, and our REFCOM Category 1 certification means the work is carried out to the standards the industry expects.
Frequently asked questions
What are the most common causes of commercial refrigeration breakdowns?
The most frequent causes we see are worn door seals letting in warm air, blocked or dirty condensers restricting airflow, refrigerant leaks, and failing compressors or fans. Most of these can be diagnosed on site and many are avoidable with regular servicing.
Do you carry parts to fix refrigeration units on the same visit?
Yes, our engineers carry commonly needed spares and materials as van stock, which means most breakdown calls are repaired in a single visit rather than requiring a return trip once parts arrive.
Is it better to repair or replace an old commercial refrigeration unit?
It depends on the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and how often it's been breaking down. We'll always give you an honest assessment — if a repair will genuinely last, we'll recommend it, and if a unit is on its way out, we'll tell you rather than keep patching it.
Do you install new refrigeration units as well as repair existing ones?
Yes. Whether you're opening a new venue or replacing an existing commercial refrigeration unit that's become unreliable, we supply and install systems suited to your business and future-proof you against unexpected breakdown costs.
