Commercial Refrigeration Coil Cleaning in Long Beach

In a coastal market like Long Beach, coils attract salt, grease, dust, and microbial growth that insulate fins, choke airflow, and force compressors to work harder. The result is higher kWh, unstable case temperatures, product loss, and avoidable repairs. Engineer-led coil cleaning restores designed heat transfer so your commercial refrigeration runs cooler, cleaner, and longer—while supporting healthier indoor air for staff and guests.

What we clean in Long Beach facilities

• Evaporator coils in walk-in coolers, freezers, prep lines, and display cases
• Condenser coils on remote racks, roof-mounted units, and self-contained cases
• Ice machine coils and air passages
• Drain pans, P-traps, and condensate lines to prevent overflow and odors

We support supermarkets, restaurants, hospitality, laboratories, specialty retailers, and multi-tenant properties throughout Long Beach and greater Los Angeles County.

Our engineer-led coil cleaning process

• System assessment and baseline measurements: temperatures, pressures, superheat/subcool targets, and visual fin condition
• Dry debris removal: vacuuming and soft brushing to protect fragile fins
• Chemistry selection: eco-conscious, food-service-friendly cleaners matched to grease, salt, and mineral load
• Foam application and dwell: penetrates fins to lift biofilm and oily residue
• Controlled rinse: low-pressure water to avoid fin fold-over; wastewater containment as site conditions require
• Fin straightening: combing and coil realignment to recover airflow and static pressure
• Drain pan and line sanitation: antimicrobial treatment to curb odors and clogs
• Operational verification: amps, delta-T, coil surface temperature, and case recovery time
• Photo report and recommendations: documentation to satisfy audits and guide maintenance frequency

Expect tighter temperature control, faster pull-downs after restocking, lower compressor run-time, and reduced nuisance alarms. For food retail and foodservice in Long Beach, that means better product integrity and fewer health-inspection surprises.

AC PRO integration

We routinely service AC PRO-supplied refrigeration and HVAC equipment and maintain access to AC PRO-grade parts, coil cleaners, filters, and accessories. Our teams match chemistry and techniques to AC PRO-compatible coils and cabinets, protecting finishes and warranties while maximizing heat transfer.

Need replacements? We can source AC PRO-compatible motors, fan blades, and coil guards as part of a turnkey visit, minimizing repeat downtime.

Why coil cleaning matters on the coast

• Energy savings: fouled coils can raise energy use 15–30% or more
• Capacity recovery: improved coil performance restores BTUs and stabilizes case temps
• Asset life: reduced head pressure and compressor cycling extend equipment longevity
• Food safety: cleaner evaporators and pans help reduce microbial risks and odors
• Healthy air: eliminating biofilm improves indoor air quality for staff and guests

Long Beach’s salt air and kitchen aerosols accelerate fouling. Our maintenance plans account for local conditions, traffic patterns, and operating hours—from Shoreline Village to the Traffic Circle.

Built for large and complex projects

#1 AC Guys is a fourth-generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. We excel in complex commercial sites with multiple walk-ins, rack systems, and challenging access. Our engineers have trained at manufacturer facilities of Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China), bringing disciplined, factory-informed methods to your site.

Scheduling is flexible: overnights, early mornings, and coordinated multi-store rollouts. We can bundle coil service with filter changes, belt checks, case gasket inspections, and door heater verification for a single, efficient visit.

Service area

Primary focus on Long Beach and Los Angeles County, with rapid response to nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Whether you manage a single restaurant on 2nd Street or a regional grocery chain, we scale to your portfolio.

Recommended frequencies

• Restaurants and foodservice: every 3–4 months (monthly visual checks)
• Grocery and c-stores: quarterly evaporators; biannual condensers
• Bakeries and high-particulate sites: 6–8 weeks
• Low-load back-of-house storage: semiannual

We tailor schedules to load, hours, and environmental exposure. If your energy intensity or alarm history spikes, we adjust proactively.

Coil cleaning add-ons

• Protective coil coatings for coastal condensers
• Fin guards and bird screens for rooftop units
• Case door gasket inspection and replacement
• EMS/controls check for defrost and fan sequencing
• Ice machine sanitation to complement coil cleaning
