| R404A | HFC blend (near-azeotropic) | 40-60 kPa (approx. 2-4 bar) | 1500-1900 kPa | Older commercial ice machines, cube makers, ice bins and blast chillers |
| R448A | HFO/HFC blend (low GWP) | 50-75 kPa | 1600-2000 kPa | Modern commercial ice machines, cube and flake units, coldroom retrofits |
Common questions
Can a built-in Sub-Zero be repaired without removing the joinery in Beaulieu?
In most cases yes. The units are designed to be serviced from the front through the grille and toe panel; full de-racking is only needed for sealed system work.
Do you work inside gated estates?
Regularly. Technician details, ID numbers and vehicle registration are submitted to the HOA or gatehouse before the appointment so access is cleared in advance.
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.
What does an annual service contract include?
Scheduled visits, priority response between visits, a written condition report per unit and fixed labour rates for the contract year.
