Professional commercial fridge setup for catering and retail - fridges positioned, levelled, and powered up ready for stock. Your cold storage sorted.
Cold Chain Ready
Commercial fridges need correct setup to work properly. Wrong position or poor levelling affects performance and food safety. Proper setup means reliable cold storage.
💡 Pro tip: Leave space behind for ventilation. Commercial fridges need airflow - pushing them tight against walls causes overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do the electrics?
We position the fridge and plug into existing sockets. New electrical circuits or hardwired connections need an electrician. Most commercial fridges are plug-in.
What about plumbing for ice makers?
Physical positioning only. Water connections for ice makers or water dispensers need a plumber. We do the setup, not the plumbing.
Can you move heavy fridges?
Most commercial fridges yes. Very large walk-in units may need specialists. We can handle standard undercounter, upright, and display fridges.
Will you test it?
We power it up and check it's running. Full temperature testing takes time - we'll show you it's working before we leave.
