The Reyds Solution
Our technician arrives with manifold gauges and a leak detector, diagnoses the root cause on site, and restores cooling fast — recharging refrigerant, clearing the condenser, or replacing a failed compressor with a unit matched to your cabinet.
Industry context
Restaurants
For restaurants, refrigeration reliability is a commercial requirement rather than a convenience. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so not cooling is flagged before stock is lost.
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many not cooling callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the cold room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so not cooling is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
