The Reyds Solution
We isolate the failure, recover refrigerant legally, flush the system if contamination is present, and install a correctly rated replacement compressor — then pressure-test, evacuate, and recharge to specification.
Industry context
Butcheries
Butcheries depend on predictable temperatures for product quality and compliance. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.
