Commercial freezer service across San Diego County since 2016, part of our full commercial appliance repair services for the county. We service True T-Series freezers, Turbo Air M3F, Traulsen freezer reach-ins, Master-Bilt walk-in freezers, and Continental display cases — restaurants, ice cream shops, bakeries, caterers, and hotels. EPA 608 Type I certified for sealed-system refrigerant work. Flat $80 diagnostic credited to the repair. 90-day parts and labor warranty.
A walk-in freezer that loses hold can write off thousands in frozen inventory in one afternoon — the ice cream shops, seafood restaurants, bakeries, caterers, markets, and hotels we serve across San Diego County run on that math. True, Turbo Air, Traulsen, Master-Bilt, Continental, and Hoshizaki — EPA 608 Type I for low-temp sealed systems, same-day dispatch on weekday calls before noon.
When the box is warming, the inventory clock is running — here is what San Diego freezer operators get that a national dispatch board cannot match.
Walk-in freezers, reach-ins, blast chillers, and ice-cream dipping cabinets are our weekly workload — True, Turbo Air, Traulsen, Master-Bilt, and Continental across San Diego County. Four in-house techs, freezer-specific OEM parts on every truck.
Freezer sealed systems run R-404A and R-290, and federal rules put recovery, leak repair, and recharge in certified hands only. Yurii carries EPA 608 Type I; compliant recovery equipment rides on every truck.
The $80 diagnostic tells you exactly what failed and exactly what the fix costs — written, fixed-price, before we open the system. Authorize the repair and the $80 comes off the invoice. Net-30 invoicing available for vetted commercial accounts.
A freezer at 20°F and climbing is a countdown on your inventory. Weekday calls before noon route same-day; after-hours and weekend slots held by appointment for restaurants and markets that cannot risk product overnight.
Parts and labor both carry the 90-day warranty on every commercial freezer repair. If the fault we fixed sends your box warm again inside the window, the return trip costs nothing — written on the invoice.
Licensed and insured: California BHGS Registration #C 62399 plus commercial liability coverage. If your franchise office, property manager, or hotel group needs a COI before a tech enters the kitchen, we send it same day.
Eight repairs we diagnose most weeks across San Diego County — OEM parts on the truck, fixed-price quote before any work begins, EPA 608 Type I where sealed-system service is required.
True T-19F / T-23F / T-49F freezer compressors short-cycle from low refrigerant, dirty condenser, or relay failure. EPA 608 Type I diagnosis + repair + recharge to spec. $520–$1,180.
Turbo Air M3F freezer evaporator coils ice up from defrost timer or thermostat failure. We thaw, replace OEM defrost components, balance airflow. $420–$840.
Traulsen G-Series freezer door gaskets crack from constant freeze-thaw — air infiltration causes coil icing. OEM Traulsen gasket + hinge alignment. $240–$480.
Master-Bilt walk-in freezer defrost cycle failure — drain heater, defrost timer, or evaporator fan motor. We diagnose, replace OEM, verify defrost cycle. $520–$1,180.
Continental SW27F display freezer cold-plate refrigerant leak — electronic detection, EPA 608 recovery, leak repair, recharge. $640–$1,640.
Hoshizaki HF reach-in freezer condenser-fan and module replacement. OEM Hoshizaki parts for HF and HFC lines stocked. $520–$1,080.
Beverage-Air HF freezer drain heater failure causes ice dam at drain — water backs up. OEM drain heater replacement, drain pan inspection. $340–$640.
Display dipping cabinets (Migali, Arctic Air) — cold-plate, fan motor, and drain heater service. Critical for ice cream shop product temperature stability. $420–$880.
Primary commercial brands — OEM parts stocked on every truck for one-visit repairs:
Secondary brands serviced — OEM parts ordered same-day from local suppliers:
The crew that keeps your walk-in freezer at -10°F also covers the high-end kitchens at home — San Diego restaurant owners and property managers book the same EPA 608 certified technicians for Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, and Miele repairs at their residences and HOA-managed properties.
Four steps from freezer-down call to a documented 0°F hold — built around the reality that frozen inventory does not wait.
Call (619) 330-5105 or book online. We ask the current cabinet temp, what is stored (ice cream, seafood, frozen meat, batch product), reach-in vs walk-in vs blast chiller — and confirm refrigerant type (R-404A, R-290 hydrocarbon, or an R-448A blend) so the truck leaves Spring Valley with the correct recovery cylinder.
Weekday calls before noon go out the same day with the full EPA 608 recovery setup aboard. While the truck rolls, the dispatcher coaches your staff on protecting the load: keep the door closed — a loaded walk-in holds for hours unopened — consolidate product low and tight, and start a time-and-temperature note for the HACCP log.
The $80 diagnostic isolates the failure — defrost cycle, door or frame heater, sealed system — and produces a written fixed-price quote before anything is opened. If the repair means hours of downtime, we say so plainly, so ice cream, sashimi-grade fish, and frozen protein reach backup cold storage while moving them still saves them. Authorize, and the $80 credits to the job.
OEM parts off the truck where stocked, same-day ordered where not. After compressor or sealed-system work we return inside 24 hours, run the cabinet through a full defrost cycle on a calibrated logger, and leave a written 0°F-or-below temperature record formatted for your HACCP / DEH file. The 90-day parts & labor warranty covers all of it.
Commercial freezer repairs land between $220–$1,890 — and the quote is only half the math; the rest is the inventory behind the door. We keep it honest: $80 diagnostic, written fixed-price figure before work starts, $80 credited at authorization.
Defrost timers, drain heaters, door gaskets, freezer thermostats: $220–$540. The small failures that erode -10°F holding: a split gasket frosting a True T-23F / T-49F coil, a dead drain heater icing a Master-Bilt walk-in pan — cheaper than the product they eventually spoil.
Evaporator fan motors, defrost-termination stats, OEM defrost boards, condenser fan work: $340–$880. The mid-band: Beverage-Air HF reach-ins, Turbo Air M3F cabinets, Master-Bilt or Bally walk-ins whose defrost no longer clears the coil — frost stacks and holding temp drifts shift by shift.
Sealed-system work — leak repair, compressor swap, condensing-unit service (EPA 608 Type I): $640–$1,890. R-404A on most low-temp cabinets, R-290 on newer reach-ins — full recovery, electronic leak detection, evacuation to 500 microns, recharge to nameplate, rooftop and remote condensing units included. A loaded walk-in of seafood or ice cream is on the line, so these calls jump the board.
The figure you sign is the figure you pay — fixed-price, never hourly. The $80 diagnostic credits to the repair when you authorize; vetted commercial accounts qualify for Net-30 invoicing.
Eight answers for San Diego freezer operators — product-loss math, HACCP documentation, pull-down timing, brand coverage, and cost.
Flat $80 diagnostic credited to the repair, 90-day parts and labor warranty, EPA 608 Type I certified, licensed and insured by the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (#C 62399). Call our commercial line or book online — same-day for urgent dispatch, after-hours by appointment.
