As you all know, we at Green Ductors have been in the HVAC business since 2015. Helping you breathe easier and keep your home and those in it safer. With that being said, we’re proud to introduce you to another branch of our team via Universal Refrigeration. As you may have guessed based on the name, Universal will handle all of your commercial refrigeration and repair needs.
Dare I say, NYC is filled with hustle and bustle, and we know that refrigeration systems in this city especially, work around the clock. Everything from medical refrigeration keeping supplies stable to restaurant walk in freezers keeping food at proper temperatures. Breakdowns can be not only inconvenient, but also dangerous. Not to mention, costly.

Refrigeration Challenges and Repair
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, New York City has its own vibe. That’s for good reason. With that vibe can also come specific challenges. Hello tight spaces. NYC is home to nearly 9 million people, and with that comes higher demand. To be able to operate in such a crowded area, you may need to fit a lot of things in a tight space. The team at Universal is well versed with working within tight areas and upholding the needed safety and code requirements. Health inspectors in NYC also hold businesses to a high bar, and for good reason. Hence it’s critical to meet all city and state requirements to avoid fines, or worse closure. Universal helps make sure your refrigeration is up to par and your business can keep running smoothly (at least from the refrigeration perspective).
Remember, being timely with repair and maintenance is crucial, especially when it comes to commercial refrigeration. Putting things off can lead to hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in inventory loss. Poor refrigeration can lead to failed inspections, and in turn fines. This predicament more often than not leads to interrupted service, and that can put a decent dent in overall revenue, not to mention the business’ reputation.
Being that you’re around your equipment on the regular, you will more than likely sense when something is off. Things like ice build up, inconsistent temperature, strange noises, leaks, funky smells, and even changes in electricity bills, can be cues that something is not right. Don’t put it off until later, schedule your maintenance or repair service today by calling (718) 998 4242
