Commercial refrigeration, coordinated

Refrigeration is licensed work in Florida. TrionX does not perform it. We scope the failure, bring in a licensed contractor and protect what is in the box while it happens.

Coordinated through licensed contractors

We do not perform this work ourselves. Florida requires a licensed contractor for it at any size, with no exception for small jobs. TrionX scopes the work, brings in a licensed contractor, and handles scheduling, site access and the documentation afterward.

Which trades we perform, and who carries which insurance

When refrigeration fails you are losing stock, and there is a clock on it. Often there is a health-code problem waiting behind that. The difference between a fast response and one that waits until morning can cost you everything in the walk-in.

We cover commercial refrigeration across Miami-Dade for restaurants, grocery and convenience stores, and food service operations. Refrigeration sits near the top of our dispatch list for the reason above, and every visit records temperature readings alongside the repair itself.

What we coordinate

  • Walk-in cooler and freezer repair
  • Reach-in unit service and repair
  • Ice machine service, repair and cleaning
  • Compressor diagnostics and replacement
  • Condenser and evaporator coil cleaning
  • Refrigerant leak detection and recharge

  • Door gasket and hardware replacement
  • Defrost cycle and control troubleshooting
  • Prep table and merchandiser service

Why TrionX

How we approach refrigeration.

Inventory comes first

On an emergency call our first conversation is about protecting what is in the box. That might mean a temporary unit, moving stock elsewhere, or an honest read on how long you have got. The repair still matters, but it can wait a few minutes while we sort the stock out.

Check the doors before the compressor

A good share of the refrigeration failures we attend started life as a door that stopped sealing properly. Gaskets are cheap and dull, so they get overlooked until the compressor has burnt itself out running flat to compensate.

Temperature records for your health file

Every visit logs temperature readings before and after the work. Those records feed straight into your health department file, and they make a slow decline visible on paper well before it turns into a failure.

Common questions

Refrigeration in Miami: questions we get asked

My walk-in is losing temperature. What should I do right now?

Call us on (786) 628-9227. Keep the door shut, note the current temperature and the time, and do not restock it. Refrigeration emergencies go out 24/7, and we will talk you through protecting the stock while a technician is on the way.

Do you service ice machines?

Yes: repair, scheduled cleaning and descaling. Miami water and humidity mean ice machines need cleaning more often than most operators expect, and a neglected machine tends to fail in midsummer when you can least afford it.

Can you set up preventive maintenance for refrigeration equipment?

Yes, and this is the equipment where scheduled maintenance pays for itself most clearly. Coil cleaning, gasket checks and temperature calibration on a routine cost a fraction of one emergency call plus the spoiled stock that comes with it.

Do you handle both refrigeration and the air conditioning in the same building?

Yes, and covering both is one of the more useful things about a single vendor. The two systems share a building, sometimes share an electrical supply, and tend to fail in the same heat wave. See our commercial HVAC page.
