Commercial refrigeration needs in Peterborough
What to check before requesting service
A small commercial kitchen can lose cooling when condenser coils become congested, an evaporator cannot defrost, or a door is opened frequently during preparation. Check the thermostat setting, listen for compressor and fan operation, and look for ice blocking airflow without dismantling energized equipment. Record the last normal temperature and any recent cleaning or stock change. These observations give the service team a clearer starting point.
- Identify the equipment by function—prep table, reach-in, walk-in, freezer or ice machine—and list the affected compartment.
- Write down the last known normal reading and whether the problem follows a defrost or delivery cycle.
- Confirm whether the kitchen has narrow access, basement stairs, shared loading space or specific receiving hours.

Plan the next step
Describe the equipment, facility location and current temperature concern when you call. If stock is at risk, follow your facility's food-safety or product-handling procedures while you wait for an availability estimate.

Frequently asked question
Can a Peterborough operator request planned refrigeration maintenance?
Yes. A planned request can cover inspection of walk-ins, reach-ins, ice machines, condensers and controls before a seasonal or operational change. Provide the equipment list, preferred access window and any recurring symptom. Eastern Ontario availability is reviewed for each request, so maintenance should be scheduled with enough notice for the facility’s operating needs.
