Most commercial fridges land between $1,200 and $6,500 depending on type, capacity and brand. Underbench and bar fridges sit at the lower end, two-door uprights and prep benches in the middle, and installed coolrooms start around $8,000. Second-hand units are considerably cheaper. We price-match any comparable quote, so it’s worth calling with a competitor’s number in hand.

Yes. We deliver throughout Sydney metro from our Lansvale warehouse, and ship to regional NSW and nationwide. Installation is available for all units, and coolrooms and freezer rooms are always installed by our team after a site measure. Tell us about stairs, lift access or tight doorways when you order and we’ll plan for it.

Often, yes — same-day callout is subject to technician availability and where you are. Maintenance-plan customers get priority response across metro Sydney. If we can’t get to you the same day, we’ll tell you straight away so you can move stock rather than waiting and hoping.

At minimum once a year. Twice a year is better for busy venues, kitchens that run hot, or anywhere the condenser sits in a greasy or dusty spot. Most premature compressor failures we see trace back to a condenser nobody cleaned. A service visit costs a fraction of a compressor replacement plus lost stock.

Potentially hazardous food must be held at 5°C or below under the Food Standards Code, so most commercial chillers are set to run between +1°C and +4°C to give headroom during service. Freezers should hold at −18°C or colder. We can calibrate your units and supply written temperature records for your food safety program.

We buy, sell and trade used commercial refrigeration. Every second-hand unit is inspected, cleaned and gas-tested before it goes on the floor. It’s a sensible way for a new venue or a pop-up to get quality equipment without the full capital outlay. Stock changes constantly, so call to see what’s available.

Yes. We offer trade-in and buy-back on working units, and can arrange removal and responsible disposal of units that are past it. Refrigerant has to be recovered by a licensed technician — it isn’t something to send to the tip yourself.

Warranty terms vary by manufacturer, and typically cover parts and labour for a set period with a longer term on the compressor. We’ll confirm the exact warranty for the model you’re considering before you commit, and because we service what we sell, warranty work goes through us rather than a third party.
