Sales, Installation, Service

Commercial Walk-In Coolers & Freezers sold, built, installed, and serviced by Restaurant Appliance Repair — Kansas City since 2015.

 

A walk-in is not a bigger refrigerator. It is cold storage sized to your menu, your ticket volume, and how often that door opens.

 

Buy the wrong box and you pay for it every night in lost product, iced coils, and a compressor that dies early.

 

We sell and set commercial walk-in coolers and freezers for restaurants, bars, breweries, catering kitchens, schools, and hotels. Then we service them.

 

That is the reason to buy from us: the company that quotes the box is the company that shows up when it fails.

 

When a walk-in is the right buy: Reach-ins are fine until prep, delivery days, and rush service outgrow them. You need a walk-in when:

• Product will not fit in the reach-ins without stacking and blocking airflow

• You are receiving cases, kegs, sheet pans, or bulk protein

• The door on the current box is opened constantly and temps will not recover

• An outdoor box is rotting at the floor or leaking at the seams

 

Cooler, freezer, or combo depends on what you store. Meat, dairy, and produce do not belong in the same load calc as ice cream and frozen protein.

 

We spec that before panels go up.

​

What actually makes a walk-in hold. The catalog size is the least important number.

 

A box holds when the load is calculated for what goes in it, how often the door opens, indoor vs outdoor conditions, floor or no floor, and the power and drain at the site.

 

Skip that and you get warm corners, ice on the coil, and a compressor that cannot catch up.

 

That is why cheap out-of-state boxes get expensive. The door does not seal in your opening.

 

The condensing unit is undersized for a Missouri summer. Nobody local will touch the warranty on a Saturday.

 

With every quote we look at the site: box traffic, what you're holding, the concrete pad, drain, power and airflow.

 

If the site cannot support the box, we tell you before you buy it.​

​

Don't let someone sell you something you'll be mad about come summer when you've dumped $10k in repair bills in it, because it was a good deal and no one told you any better.
