Commercial Refrigeration That Keeps Your Inventory Cold
When the walk-in starts climbing toward 50°, the clock is on your inventory. BakerHouse refrigeration techs answer fast, carry the right parts, and don't leave until the temperature is back where it belongs.
Commercial Refrigeration Equipment We Service
Refrigeration is its own discipline. The equipment runs continuously, carries high stakes, and requires technical depth that goes beyond standard HVAC. Our refrigeration techs have it.
- Walk-in coolers and freezers — restaurants, grocers, food-service, and beverage operators
- Reach-in refrigeration — true cold prep, sandwich units, undercounter, glass-door merchandisers
- Prep tables and pizza prep — refrigerated work surfaces with their own failure modes
- Ice machines — cubers, flakers, and dispensers; cleaning, refrigerant, and full rebuilds
- Beverage and bar coolers — under-counter, back-bar, and draft-beer systems
- Display cases — open and closed deli/meat/dairy cases with their specific airflow requirements
- Blast chillers and freezers — high-load equipment for prep kitchens and food production
- Refrigerated transport — reefer service when needed
What We Fix
- Refrigerant leaks — finding the leak, sealing it, recharging properly with the correct refrigerant type
- Compressor failures — the most expensive failure, diagnosed carefully
- Defrost system problems — coil icing, drain pan flooding, terminator failures
- Condensing unit issues — fan motors, capacitors, controls
- Evaporator coil problems — frozen coils, dirty fins, drain issues
- Control board and thermostat failures
- Door seals and hinges — costing you efficiency every minute they're bad
Why Refrigeration Calls Are Different
A residential AC call has time. A walk-in cooler at 48° doesn't. We carry refrigerant, common compressor parts, and defrost components on every truck so we can get you back online same-call when it's humanly possible. When it's not — like a compressor swap with a multi-week part lead — we'll work with you on temporary refrigerated storage and transparent timing.
Restaurants & Grocers
Most of our refrigeration calls come from restaurants and small grocers across the Albuquerque metro and Santa Fe. Different equipment from a chain pharmacy or gas station, different priorities, but the same underlying physics. We treat your inventory like ours.

Common Questions, Straight Answers
How fast can you get to a walk-in cooler emergency?
Refrigeration emergencies are top priority. Most metro calls get a tech on-site within 2 hours, often faster during business hours. Refrigerant and common parts are carried on every truck so we can act immediately rather than schedule a return trip.
Do you handle the newer refrigerants?
Yes. We work with all current commercial refrigerants — R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, R-410A, and the natural-refrigerant systems coming online. Our techs are EPA-certified and we don't cross-charge systems.
Can you service equipment in restaurants during business hours?
Yes when needed, but we coordinate carefully so we're not in your servers' way during a rush. For non-emergency service we typically schedule for off-peak times — early morning before lunch prep or late evening.
Do you do refrigeration installs?
Yes — walk-in installs, ice machine installs, full refrigeration system commissioning. Free estimates on new installs and replacements.
Can I get a service contract?
Yes. Quarterly or monthly preventive maintenance contracts that catch failures before they cost you inventory. We tailor the contract to your specific equipment and risk profile.
