Commercial Refrigeration / Freon Leak Repair & Refill
Freon Leak? We Find It and Fix It
Freon leaks can be quite the hassle! When your commercial refrigeration equipment needs a Freon refill or repair this means your fridge or freezer is not cooling and is not performing optimally. Freon can be toxic to you and to the environment. It is imperative that the problem is identified as soon as possible and is checked out by a professional. That’s where we come in! CooperFix provides commercial refrigeration equipment repair service in Toronto and the GTA. The service call fee is waived when you proceed with an approved repair.
A leak is found with numbers, not a guess
Manifold gauges connected to a condensing unit. Topping up refrigerant without finding where it went is money poured into the air — the same charge will be gone again. CooperFix locates the leak, repairs it, evacuates the system and weighs in the correct charge, then records the readings.

Before You Book a Leak Repair
A refrigerant leak is not fixed by adding gas. The system is put back to a known state: the leak is located, the joint or component is repaired, the circuit is evacuated, and the charge is weighed in against the nameplate. A system that is topped up instead is empty again within weeks, and the leak grows while it runs.
What helps when you book:
- Model and serial number from the data plate
- Refrigerant type, if it is shown
- What the box is reading now and what it should read
- Whether this has been topped up before, and how many times
- Whether there is oil residue anywhere on the pipework

Commercial Fridge Repair FAQs
Repair cost depends on the fault, the parts required and the equipment itself. A control or sensor replacement is far less involved than a compressor or evaporator fan motor failure. CooperFix diagnoses the unit on site and quotes the repair before any work is authorized.
Your commercial fridge not cooling can be a huge headache especially because there is so much at stake such as food and produce going to waste! There can be many factors as to why your fridge may not be cooling at optimal level and our team of experts are prepared to do all kinds of troubleshooting and repairs accordingly.
The most common reasons as to why your commercial fridge may not be cooling efficiently are changes in thermostat settings, doors being left open for too long, blocked vents or electrical controls have become weak. If after checking these issues your commercial fridge is still not cooling, it’s time to call in the experts!
If you notice your commercial fridge is blowing hot air, this is definitely a huge cause of concern as it indicates your refrigeration equipment is not working as it should. The root cause in most cases can be your fridge compressor. Some common issues as to why your fridge may be blowing hot air can be narrowed down to dirty condenser coils, issues with the evaporator fan motor or malfunction in the relay-start capacitor.
The evaporator fan motor helps circulate air over the evaporator coil in a uniform manner so the fridge can cool efficiently at the set temperature. If there is a malfunction in the motor, the fridge will not be able to cool consistently or at all. The relay-start capacitor is what supplies power to the fridge compressor. If the relay-start malfunctions, the compressor will cool inconsistently or may not cool at all.
Ice build up in a commercial fridge can thoroughly disrupt the functionality of the refrigeration equipment. It is important to first understand why this occurs. The biggest reason as to why ice builds up in a commercial fridge is when hot or humid air is let into the fridge often and for prolonged periods of time. This commonly occurs when employees are restocking the fridge or when the fridge door is not shut properly. Another cause of ice build up can be due to faulty or damaged door hinges.
Ice build up not only damages the refrigeration equipment physically but also disrupts its internal functionality greatly! Overall running costs start to increase because the commercial fridge starts to work in overdrive trying to compensate for the hot or humid air that is compromising the cooling levels set for the fridge. This causes the refrigeration equipment to use more energy and starts affecting other parts of the fridge resulting in expensive repairs.
You are likely better off fixing an issue rather than replacing the entire fridge, simply because they are very expensive to begin with. Unless the fridge is very old and deemed beyond repair, fixing it can save you a lot of money. However, if you continue to experience issues that are costing you a lot, it may be better for you to just replace the fridge.
Emergency refrigeration calls are received and assessed 24/7. As long as your fridge repair technician doesn’t need any spare parts to fix the issue, it can often be fixed during the first visit. Our technicians handle commercial fridge repair calls across Toronto and the GTA.
At CooperFix, we send out the best and experienced technicians to fix your commercial fridge. Normally one or two technicians will arrive at your business and inspect the refrigeration equipment. After identifying the issue, they will let you know what the issue is and provide you with a quote. If you decide to continue with the repair, our technicians will proceed with fixing the fridge.
There are a few things you can do to make the fridge repair process quicker and easier. You can:
- Empty out the fridge
- Have all warranties and documents available (if you have them)
- Make sure there is someone 18+ to meet the technicians
Sometimes the technician is not able to fix the fridge without replacement parts. Depending on the availability of the spare parts, it may take a while for them to arrive. CooperFix technicians are well stocked with common spare parts, meaning they can usually perform repairs on the spot. However, if the spare part is not available at the moment, our technicians will make sure it is ordered and that it arrives as fast as possible.

Industrial Fridge Maintenance Tips
Keep coils free from dust and debris. Clean the coils with a coil cleaning brush and vacuum. The same brush can be used on the condenser coils of your other refrigeration units. You should generally do this twice a year. Always remember to unplug your fridge before cleaning it!
Fridges use more energy and work harder if the gasket isn’t sealing well. Make sure to check the gasket for wear and tear often. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced. Make sure to clean the gasket with warm water mixed with soap to prevent damage from food and crumbs building up.
Refrigeration units have filters that need to be changed regularly. Check the manufacturer instructions for your unit to find out how to keep it clean.
Hot food should be allowed to cool before it is placed in the fridge. This will cause an irregular temperature, meaning the fridge has to work harder to stabilize. Make sure hot items cool down before you put them inside the fridge.
If your fridge doesn’t close properly, the cool air will escape, which will make it work much harder and also waste energy.
Even though it is good to keep your fridge moderately full, don’t overcrowd it. Overcrowding can cause food to get in the way of any vents or controls. Also, be sure to keep food sealed with secured tops to minimize moisture.
The position of the fridge is very important. Try to keep it away from any heating source. If the fridge is close to heat, it will work harder and use more energy.
