Yes. In California, commercial refrigeration work requires a C-38 Refrigeration Contractor license from the CSLB. Many HVAC companies only hold the C-20 (HVAC) license and are not legally authorized to service refrigeration equipment. North Breeze holds both C-20 and C-38 licenses (#1127709), plus EPA 608 Universal certification for refrigerant handling.
We recommend quarterly preventive maintenance for high-use equipment like walk-in coolers and ice machines, and semi-annual service for lower-use units like prep tables and reach-ins. Regular maintenance can reduce emergency breakdowns by up to 80% and extend equipment life by 3–5 years. Learn about our maintenance plans.
Yes. We handle full installations including walk-in cooler and freezer builds, reach-in unit setup, ice machine placement with water line connections, and prep table installations. We also handle equipment replacements — removing the old unit and installing the new one with proper electrical and refrigerant connections.
