Every breakdown was a warning you missed
Compressors do not fail without warning. Condensers do not clog overnight. Refrigerant does not vanish instantly. Every catastrophic failure starts as a small, fixable issue — weeks before the alarm goes off.
Emergency repairs are eating your budget
Three emergency calls this year at $800+ each, plus $5,000 in spoiled product. A $150/month maintenance plan would have caught every issue before it became a crisis
Energy bills are climbing for no reason
Dirty condenser coils force your compressor to work 30-40% harder. That is hundreds of dollars a month in wasted electricity — money that a simple cleaning would save
DOH inspector found temp violations
Your walk-in was at 44 degrees and you did not even know. A thermometer check during routine maintenance would have caught the failing defrost timer weeks earlier
Equipment dying years too early
A properly maintained walk-in compressor lasts 12-15 years. Without maintenance, expect 6-8. The same applies to ice machines, display cases, and every piece of refrigeration equipment you own
Before the maintenance plan, we averaged $8,000 a year in emergency repairs and spoiled product. Since Art HVAC started servicing our equipment quarterly, we have spent exactly $0 on emergencies. Two full years, zero breakdowns.

FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Everything you need to know about refrigeration maintenance plans.
Every visit includes: condenser coil cleaning, evaporator inspection, refrigerant pressure check, thermostat calibration, door gasket inspection, drain line clearing, electrical connection check, and a full temperature verification at multiple points. You receive a written report with findings and any recommendations after each visit.
Plans are priced based on the number and type of equipment. A single-location restaurant with a walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, prep table, and ice machine typically runs $150-300 per month. Multi-location discounts are available. The plan typically saves 5-10x its cost in prevented emergencies and reduced energy bills.
Yes — our data shows 90% fewer unplanned breakdowns for maintenance plan clients vs. non-plan clients. Most refrigeration failures are caused by dirty condensers (overheating), low refrigerant (slow leak), or failed door gaskets (warm air infiltration) — all issues caught during routine maintenance visits.
Plan members get priority emergency dispatch with a guaranteed 2-hour response time. You go to the front of the line ahead of non-plan customers. We also have your complete equipment history on file, so our technician arrives knowing exactly what system they are working on — which speeds up diagnosis significantly.
Yes. Plans are annual but you can cancel with 30 days notice, no penalties. Over 95% of our clients renew every year — the results speak for themselves. We are confident you will see the value within the first quarter.
