Emergency refrigeration in Corpus Christi.

What Corpus Christi does to refrigeration

Corpus Christi puts salt on every outdoor condenser in town, and a fouled condenser is the single most common reason a walk in cannot hold temperature through an August afternoon. The compressor is not weak, it is being asked to reject heat through a coil that has been slowly closing up since the day it was installed.

An emergency in Corpus is usually a bayfront kitchen or a south side store watching a box climb during service. The four questions we ask on the phone decide what comes on the truck, which decides whether this is one visit or two.

What to do before we arrive

Keep the door shut. Get a probe thermometer into the product rather than reading air temperature, because air recovers fast and product does not. Write down the time you first noticed and what the temperature was, because that log is what protects you later. If you have somewhere to move the highest value product, start moving it now rather than waiting for a verdict.

What it costs while it is down

On the phone we will ask what the box is reading, what the product is reading, whether the evaporator is iced, and whether the condenser fan is turning. Those four answers tell us most of what we need to bring, which is the difference between one visit and two.

Calling from Corpus Christi

Use the Corpus Christi number, 361-558-6946. It reaches the crew that covers Corpus Christi rather than a call center in another state. Hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday by appointment, with after hours emergency service available for refrigeration.
