Commercial refrigeration & air conditioning · All of Cumbria
Cumbria's commercial refrigeration and air conditioning engineers
Cold rooms, display cabinets, cellars and air conditioning — installed, serviced and repaired for supermarkets, shops, pubs, kitchens, care homes and food producers. Our engineers cover the whole county.
What we do
Commercial cooling, looked after properly
Commercial refrigeration is a specialist trade. A cold room breakdown means lost stock and lost trading, so we treat every call-out as a priority.
Who we look after
The businesses we keep running
Commercial cooling covers a lot of ground. If your trade depends on stock staying at temperature, or on customers being comfortable, it is work we do every week.

Different businesses. Different cooling demands.
Every one of those has different demands. A village shop needs a display cabinet that holds temperature through a hot Bank Holiday with the door opening every thirty seconds. A care home kitchen has to evidence food safety records. A pub cellar has to hold eleven to thirteen degrees through a Saturday night with the hatch open. We size, install and maintain for the job in front of us rather than fitting whatever is on the shelf.
Planned maintenance
Planned preventative
maintenance
Our maintenance agreements include planned visits through the year, agreed to suit your equipment. Each visit includes:
Inspect equipment condition and operation
Check refrigerant pressures and temperatures
Inspect for visible refrigerant leaks
Clean accessible condenser and evaporator coils
Check compressors, fans and motors
Inspect electrical terminals and controls
Check filters, condensate trays and drains
Verify thermostat/controller operation
Record electrical and operating readings
Issue a written service report with recommendations
Cabinet or cold room running warmer than its set point
Ice building up on the evaporator or around the door
The unit runs constantly and never cycles off
Unusual noise from the condensing unit
Water pooling underneath or inside the cabinet
Electricity bills climbing with no change in trade
The system trips the breaker or keeps resetting
Cellar cooling not holding its set temperature
When to call
Signs your equipment
needs attention
Most breakdowns give warning first. Catching any of these early is almost always cheaper than an emergency call-out and a skip full of stock.
If you have noticed any of these, ring us before it fails properly. A refrigerant leak found on a service visit is a straightforward repair; the same leak found on a Friday night is a lost weekend of trading, a claim on your stock, and a food safety problem you have to evidence afterwards.
Breakdowns
When it stops holding temperature
Call us to book a breakdown visit, a service or a quote for new equipment. Faults are diagnosed on site by our engineers.

Carlisle to Barrow, coast to the Eden Valley
Our engineers cover the whole of Cumbria, every working day.
Where we work
Towns across Cumbria
North Cumbria and the Eden Valley
Carlisle, Penrith, Brampton, Wigton, Appleby-in-Westmorland and Kirkby Stephen are covered on a northern round. Most of the work up here is commercial refrigeration for the city's convenience stores, restaurants and care homes, along with cellar cooling for the pubs and hotels, and air conditioning for offices and salons.
The Lakes and the south
Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, Coniston, Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh and Grange-over-Sands are tourist towns where kitchens and cellars work hardest in season. We fit and service VRF and multi-split systems for hotels, keep display cabinets running for delis and farm shops, and handle breakdowns and call-outs through the summer.
The west coast
Whitehaven, Workington, Cockermouth, Maryport, Egremont, Cleator Moor, Silloth and Seascale sit on the coastal run. Salt air is hard on condensers, so this is where planned servicing earns its keep, and where a lot of our cold room repair and installation work comes from.
Furness and the far west
Barrow-in-Furness, Ulverston, Dalton-in-Furness, Millom, Haverigg, Bootle and Broughton-in-Furness are on our doorstep — we are based at Steel Green in Haverigg. We cover everything from heat pump servicing to air handling unit maintenance. If you are unsure whether you are in range, ring us: we cover the whole of Cumbria.
