If a machine is showing a code, look it up on our fault code pages before calling: knowing whether it points at a probe, a heater or a water supply changes what the technician brings.
A 24/7 claim is what the company publishes, not what we have proven. We are testing those claims by calling after hours and will publish the results. Wondering what a repair should cost before you ring? Typical repair costs and the downtime calculator are the place to start.
Charleston sits in the strictest licensing environment this directory covers: since 2016 West Virginia requires every individual performing HVAC work to hold a state technician certification, so you can ask for the certification number of the person who actually arrives, not just the company licence. Two of the three companies listed here are within a few miles of each other in Dunbar, at different addresses and under different ownership, and the third publishes only a toll-free line. All three were verified against their own published materials in August 2026.
7 companies serve Charleston, 4 with 24/7 or emergency availability. Services covered: Commercial Refrigeration, Ice Machines, HVAC, Installation, Preventive Maintenance, Cooking Equipment. In a hurry? Jump to the quote form and let companies come to you. Plus 1 regional company based elsewhere with published coverage of Charleston.
For emergency calls, start with companies flagged 24/7 and confirm the after-hours dispatch process when you call. For scheduled work, ask about preventive maintenance agreements: the National Restaurant Association puts average maintenance costs near 1.5 percent of a restaurant's sales, and a maintenance contract usually costs less than a single season of emergency repairs. CFESA certification is the industry's training standard for commercial food equipment technicians and is worth asking about.
