COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION • CENTRAL FLORIDA
Commercial Refrigeration Service That Protects More Than Equipment
When refrigeration temperatures start moving, the clock matters.
Kalos provides commercial refrigeration service, maintenance, repair and project support throughout Central Florida. From walk-ins and reach-ins to cases, rack systems and controls, our teams troubleshoot the complete refrigeration system to find the cause—not simply the component showing the symptom.
COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION SERVICE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
Find the Cause Before Product and Operations Are at Risk.
A refrigeration problem can start in one place and show up somewhere completely different. Temperature, pressure, airflow, refrigerant conditions, controls, defrost, electrical components and equipment loading all work together.
That’s why refrigeration troubleshooting shouldn’t start with replacing the first component that looks suspicious.
Our technicians evaluate measured conditions and system operation to understand what’s happening and why. Whether we’re responding to a temperature problem, recurring alarm or equipment failure, the goal is to identify the cause, explain the operational risk and determine the appropriate next step.
WHY COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS WORK WITH KALOS
Refrigeration Problems Rarely Stay in One Box.
Refrigeration combines mechanical systems, controls, electrical components and changing operating conditions. Understanding how those pieces interact matters when product, operations and equipment are on the line.
We troubleshoot the system
A temperature alarm tells you something is wrong. It doesn't necessarily tell you why. We use system conditions and measurements to work toward the cause.
We understand refrigeration
Our teams work with commercial cases, walk-ins, reach-ins, rack refrigeration, controls and related equipment—not simply comfort cooling systems.
We work across trades
Refrigeration issues can involve electrical, HVAC, plumbing, controls and construction. Kalos has multiple commercial trades under one company when the scope crosses those boundaries.
We've been here since 2005
Kalos is family-owned and based in Clermont. We've served Central Florida since 2005 and continue to invest in the technicians, training and trades our commercial customers rely on.
SIGNS YOUR REFRIGERATION SYSTEM NEEDS ATTENTION
Refrigeration Problems Don't Always Start With a Warm Case.
Some failures are obvious. Others show up first as changing temperatures, longer run times, frost patterns, alarms or recurring service issues.
Product Temperature Is Rising
A case or cooler temperature outside its expected range can result from several system, airflow, control or equipment conditions.
Recurring Temperature Alarms
Repeated alarms should be investigated even when temperatures return to normal. Intermittent problems can be difficult to catch without looking at the operating history.
Excessive Frost or Ice
Unexpected frost or ice can point toward airflow, defrost, control or refrigeration-system conditions that need evaluation.
Compressors Running Longer
Changes in compressor runtime may indicate changing load, equipment condition, refrigerant-system problems or control issues.
Cases Aren't Holding Temperature
When one or multiple cases struggle to maintain temperature, the problem may be local to the case—or elsewhere in the refrigeration system.
Walk-In Temperature Problems
Door conditions, evaporator performance, airflow, controls, defrost and the refrigeration system itself can all affect walk-in operation.
Unusual Noise or Vibration
Changes in sound or vibration from compressors, motors, fans or other components deserve attention before they develop further.
Recurring Component Failures
Repeatedly replacing the same component can indicate an underlying system condition that hasn't been corrected.
Energy Use Has Changed
Unexpected increases in refrigeration energy consumption may warrant evaluating equipment operation, controls, maintenance conditions and system performance.
COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION TROUBLESHOOTING
Measure the System. Don't Guess From the Temperature.
The exact diagnostic process depends on the equipment and complaint, but commercial refrigeration troubleshooting may include checking:
- Refrigerant system pressures
- Refrigerant temperatures
- Superheat and subcooling
- Compressor operation
- Evaporator and condenser conditions
- Airflow and fan operation
- Defrost operation
- Controls, sensors and EMS
- Electrical components and connections
- Case, box and product temperatures

COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION PROJECT SCOPE
What Affects the Cost of Commercial Refrigeration Work?
Commercial refrigeration work varies significantly by system and facility. Repairing a reach-in cooler, troubleshooting a rack system and replacing refrigeration equipment are very different scopes. Equipment type, refrigerant system, controls, accessibility, product conditions, electrical requirements, operating schedules and the amount of coordination required can all affect the work involved. For planned projects, Kalos evaluates those requirements before developing the scope so your team can understand what's included and how the work will affect facility operations.
EQUIPMENT
System type, capacity, condition and configuration.
ACCESS
Sensors, EMS, sequences and system integration.
FACILITY
Access, utilities and existing infrastructure.
OPERATIONS
Product protection, scheduling, phasing and downtime.
What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real neighbors.
★★★★★
"They had us cool again before sundown."
Our AC died on a 95° afternoon. Kalos sent someone out within two hours, diagnosed a bad capacitor, and had cold air running again before dinner. The tech explained everything and the price matched the quote.
Janet M.
★★★★★
"They told me the truth, even when it cost them money."
Another company quoted me a full system replacement. Kalos came out, found a refrigerant leak, fixed it for a fraction of the price, and got another five years out of my unit. Honest people.
Robert K.
★★★★★
"They have been our family's AC company for 12 years."
From small repairs to a full replacement when our old system finally gave out, Kalos has been our go-to for over a decade. They treat our home like their own. I will not call anyone else.
