Engineered diagnostics that go beyond “swap the part”

Intermittent faults and temperature swings often come from system‑level issues—refrigerant charge imbalance, airflow restriction, latent load changes, defrost problems, control logic drift, or failing electrical under load. Our process validates each stage: superheat/subcooling, compressor amps, evaporator/condensing delta‑T, airflow and static pressure, control calibration, and case performance. We fix root causes, not symptoms.

• Walk‑in coolers/freezers: door heat, gaskets, defrost, ice buildup, drains
• Reach‑ins and prep tables: airflow, coil cleanliness, fan motors, cap tubes/TEVs
• Display cases: case balance, controller tuning, lighting heat impact
• Ice machines: scale, water/harvest cycles, bin thermostats, production rates
• Specialty/glycol systems: pumps, setpoints, heat exchange efficiency

AC PRO know‑how for fast, reliable repairs

We work extensively with AC PRO commercial components and parts availability to accelerate repairs and maintain reliability. Whether your system uses AC PRO‑branded parts or you rely on AC PRO distribution for replacements, we integrate compatible components, verify performance, and document results for your records.

Preventive maintenance that pays for itself

Proactive PM stabilizes case temperatures, reduces compressor stress, and lowers energy use. We align maintenance with your operating hours and health‑code needs.

• Coil cleaning and airflow restoration
• Electrical and contactor inspection under load
• Drain, defrost, and case heater checks
• Refrigerant performance verification (not just “topping off”)
• Controller calibration and data logging

Result: fewer emergency calls, longer equipment life, and better product quality.

Industries we support in Pasadena

• Restaurants, bakeries, coffee chains, bars
• Grocery, convenience, and specialty food retail
