Common questions
What size ice machine do I need?
Size on peak daily draw, not average: roughly 0.5 to 1 kg of ice per restaurant cover per day, more for cocktail bars and function venues. We calculate demand on site, then specify machine output plus bin storage and the water treatment your supply needs.
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.
How fast can you get to me?
Emergency callouts are dispatched to the next available technician, with the arrival window confirmed by SMS when the vehicle leaves.
Do you top up gas without finding the leak?
No. A weighed charge into a leaking system is money out the window, so the leak is found and repaired first, then the system is evacuated and charged to the plated weight.
