Common questions
How long should a KIC fridge last in Chartwell?
With a clean condenser and a sound door seal, twelve to fifteen years is normal. Most callouts we attend are thermostats, start relays and perished seals rather than sealed system failures.
How quickly can a coldroom be back at temperature?
Once the fault is cleared, a well-insulated coldroom pulls back down within two to four hours. We advise on stock protection during that window.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
