Commercial refrigeration keeps restaurants, convenience stores, bars, and healthcare facilities operating smoothly. When equipment fails, product loss, safety issues, and operational downtime follow quickly. Top Pick Mechanical supports Fresno businesses with expert service, repair, and maintenance for ice machines, walk-in coolers and freezers, and reach-in coolers.
Ice Machines: Performance You Can Count On
Ice machines are prone to mineral buildup, clogged lines, failing pumps, and dirty condenser coils that reduce output and affect ice quality. Routine maintenance prevents these issues and keeps production consistent during peak hours.
Our certified team services all major commercial ice machine brands with cleaning, descaling, part replacement, and full performance diagnostics. When failures happen, fast response keeps your kitchen or bar running.
Walk-In Coolers and Freezers: Protecting Inventory and Profit
Walk-ins are at the heart of inventory management. Rising temperatures, frost buildup, and loud compressor noise are warning signs that point to low refrigerant, airflow restrictions, or failing components. Any of these issues can quickly put thousands of dollars in inventory at risk.
Our thorough inspections check electrical components, refrigerant levels, door seals, and airflow performance to keep systems stable and efficient.

Reach-In Coolers: Consistent Performance and Better Efficiency
Reach-in coolers must hold steady temperatures to support prep work and safe food handling. Temperature swings, short cycling, or warm zones often signal fan issues, dirty coils, or airflow obstructions.
We pride ourselves on providing prompt repairs and preventative services that improve performance and lower energy use. We are your business partner, not just a service provider!
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Refrigeration runs continuously, which makes scheduled maintenance essential. Cleaning, electrical checks, refrigerant verification, and full system evaluations reduce emergency repairs and extend equipment life.
Maintenance customers gain consistent cooling, reduced downtime, and predictable long-term performance.
