Commercial Kitchen Service

This covers repairing the equipment in a working commercial kitchen. If you are looking for kitchen remodelling, cabinet refacing, or a domestic appliance repair, this is the wrong directory and it is worth saying so in the first line rather than the last.

“Commercial kitchen service” covers at least eight different trades, and the reason it matters is that the wrong one will decline the job or make it worse. A company that services walk-in refrigeration is often not the company that services your fryer, and neither of them touches the hood suppression system. Below is what each covers, and how many verified companies in this directory do it.

117 companies, checked one at a time by a person against our six-check standard, across 35 metros in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

What each trade covers

Commercial Refrigeration Walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in fridges and freezers, prep tables, and display cases. Refrigerant work legally requires an EPA Section 608 certified technician. For a warm walk-in, ask about after-hours response time and whether the company offers temporary refrigeration while parts are on order. 101 companies · 99 fault codes Preventive Maintenance Scheduled maintenance contracts covering coil cleaning, calibration, gasket and filter replacement, and safety checks. Planned maintenance typically costs less than a single season of emergency calls and extends equipment life measurably. 99 companies Cooking Equipment Fryers, ranges and stoves, ovens, combi ovens, griddles, broilers, and steam equipment. Gas cooking repairs involve burner, pilot, thermostat, and gas valve work; electric units usually fail at elements, contactors, and controls. Ask whether the company stocks parts for your brands, since first-visit completion depends on the parts on the truck. 98 companies · 235 fault codes Installation Uncrating, setting, leveling, utility connection, and startup of new equipment, plus haul-away of old units. Manufacturer warranties often require documented professional startup, especially for combi ovens and refrigeration. 92 companies Ice Machines Cubers, flakers, and nugget machines from brands like Manitowoc, Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and Ice-O-Matic. Many no-ice calls trace to water filters, scale buildup, or condenser airflow, so regular cleaning contracts often pay for themselves. Health inspections also cover ice machine sanitation. 79 companies · 86 fault codes Dish Machines & Warewashing Door-type, undercounter, conveyor, and flight-type dish machines, called dishwashers by most kitchens, plus glass washers. Common failures involve wash and rinse pumps, heaters that cannot hold 180 degree final rinse on high-temp units, and chemical feed systems on low-temp units. Ask whether the company also services your booster heater. 72 companies · 41 fault codes HVAC Rooftop units, makeup air, and dining room comfort systems. Kitchen HVAC is tied to exhaust balance: when makeup air fails, doors whistle, pilots blow out, and the dining room overheats. Companies that handle both refrigeration and HVAC can often consolidate your maintenance contracts. 68 companies OEM Parts OEM and aftermarket parts counters for operators who self-service or need a part fast. Companies with local parts warehouses complete more repairs on the first visit, which matters most during a dinner rush breakdown. 57 companies Mixers, Slicers & Food Machines Mixers, slicers, food processors, grinders, and scales. These machines are repair-friendly and often worth fixing for decades, especially heavy-duty planetary mixers. Blade sharpening and gearbox service are typically offered by the same companies. 43 companies · 10 fault codes Hood & Exhaust Cleaning Hood, duct, and exhaust fan cleaning to bare metal is required by NFPA 96 on a set schedule, from monthly for solid fuel cooking to annually for low-volume operations. Insurers and fire marshals ask for the certificate after each cleaning, so use a company that provides documentation and photos. 39 companies · 11 fault codes Coffee & Espresso Machines Espresso machines, batch brewers, and grinders. Specialist bench and on-site service exists for brands like Schaerer, WMF, La Marzocco, and Bunn. Water quality drives most failures, so descaling and filtration should be part of any service plan. 20 companies · 15 fault codes Plumbing Grease trap issues, floor drains, faucets, pre-rinse units, and gas line work. Restaurant plumbing calls are urgent by nature since a backed up drain can close a kitchen. Ask about jetting capability and grease trap pumping schedules. 10 companies Electrical Dedicated circuits for new equipment, breaker and contactor failures, and lighting. Commercial kitchen equipment is unforgiving of undersized circuits, so equipment installs frequently need an electrician alongside the service company. 6 companies

Which one do you need?

The quickest way to tell is what the equipment does rather than what it is called. Anything that makes cold is refrigeration, including ice machines, and needs a refrigeration technician. Anything that makes heat with gas needs someone licensed for commercial gas. A dish machine sits between plumbing and equipment repair and is usually its own specialism. A hood is ventilation, and the suppression system inside it is a fire trade with its own certification.

If a code is showing on the machine, look it up before you call: we hold 497 fault codes from 36 manufacturers’ service manuals, and knowing whether the fault points at a probe, a heater or a water supply changes which trade you need and what they bring.
