Emergency vs. Scheduled Service: What Every Business Owner Should Know

Emergency Service: Fast — but Costly

When you need it:

  • Your cooler or freezer stops working suddenly
  • Temperature is rising quickly and product is at risk
  • The system is making strange noises, leaking, or not powering on

What you can expect:

  • Same-day or after-hours service (usually at a premium)
  • Higher stress for staff and management
  • Temporary solutions in some cases, depending on parts availability
  • Lost inventory or downtime if response is delayed
Cost impact: Emergency refrigeration service often comes with higher labor rates, rush fees, and the possibility of product loss — adding up to thousands in damages.

Scheduled Service: Predictable, Affordable, Preventive

When you should use it:

  • At the start of each season (especially summer)
  • When equipment is due for a tune-up or cleaning
  • If your energy bills are creeping up
  • Before busy periods (holidays, festivals, tourist season)

What you get with ColdPros:

  • A thorough inspection of your refrigeration system
  • Cleaning of coils, checking refrigerant levels, airflow optimization
  • Identification of worn-out parts before they fail
  • A full system performance report and maintenance plan
Bonus: Scheduled clients receive priority booking — so even if something goes wrong later, you’re at the front of the line.

The Smart Choice? Prevent the Emergency

Regular service costs a fraction of what emergency repairs do — and it helps protect your equipment from long-term damage. Think of it like an oil change for your refrigeration: small cost, big benefit.

Beat the heat — and the panic


Schedule a $99 Pre-Summer Checkup with ColdPros and make sure your coolers, freezers, and walk-ins are ready for the busy season.
