DOH Compliant Installation
When your display case fails, customers walk past
A warm deli case means wilted salads, sweating cheese, and a health inspector's red flag. A fogged-up glass door means customers cannot see your product. Either way, you are losing sales every minute.
Case not holding temperature
Your deli case is running at 48 degrees instead of 38. Product looks limp, customers hesitate, and you are one DOH inspection away from a violation
Fogging, sweating, and ice buildup
Glass doors are fogged, shelves are icing over, and water is pooling at the bottom. Customers cannot see your product and the mess drives them to the competitor
Energy bills through the roof
Your old display case runs the compressor 24/7. Modern cases with LED lighting and EC motors use 40-50% less energy — the savings pay for the upgrade
Opening or renovating a store
You need display cases designed to fit your layout, match your product mix, and meet DOH requirements — delivered, installed, and working before opening day
Our open deli case was running warm and we were throwing out $200 in product every week. Art HVAC found a failed fan motor and a clogged condenser. $350 repair saved us $10K a year in waste.

FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Practical answers about refrigerated display cases.
The most common causes are: dirty condenser coils (the #1 issue — blocks heat dissipation), low refrigerant charge, failed evaporator fan motor, damaged door gaskets letting warm air in, and blocked airflow from overloading the case. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it — usually same-day.
Condenser coils should be cleaned monthly in dusty environments (delis, bakeries) and at least quarterly for cleaner retail spaces. Professional maintenance — including refrigerant check, thermostat calibration, and drain service — should be done every 6 months. Regular maintenance prevents 90% of display case breakdowns.
Nearly all display case repairs are done on-site. Our technicians carry common parts — fan motors, thermostats, contactors, defrost timers, and door gaskets. The only time a case would need shop work is for a major compressor replacement on a hermetically sealed system, and even then we can often handle it on-site.
NYC DOH requires: cold food display cases at 41 degrees F or below, frozen food cases at 0 degrees F or below, and hot food cases at 140 degrees F or above. We recommend setting your cold cases to 36-38 degrees F to provide a safety margin. We calibrate every case to maintain target temperature consistently.
It varies by type and size. A glass-door reach-in merchandiser starts around $2,500-5,000. A deli display case runs $4,000-10,000. Open multi-deck produce and dairy cases range from $5,000-15,000 per section. We provide exact quotes after understanding your product mix and space. Installation, electrical, and plumbing are included in our quotes.
