Welcome to the new AJAX Refrigeration  website and our first blog post!

We are really excited to provide informative, fun posts that will bring value to our cherished client base and to all that may benefit from them.

Please feel free to call or email AJAX Refrigeration with any questions you may have regarding your restaurant equipment, commercial refrigerators, freezers and ice machines.

If your walk-in cooler or walk-in freezer is running slightly warmer than the desired temperature please do yourself a favor and place a service call asap.  Waiting until the unit fails completely will, in general, be associated with a much higher repair bill down the road.  Here at AJAX Refrigeration, we place walk-in calls at the top of our priority list in dispatching to help you save that valued inventory and capital.

Refrigeration Temperature Tip…

Refrigerators/coolers should run between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for most applications.  Freezer temperatures vary depending on what product is in the unit and what you plan to do with it.  Most meat and produce freezers are designed to run between zero and ten degrees Fahrenheit while units that are freezing dairy products are run between minus ten and zero F.  Ice cream holding cabinets can run all the way down to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit!  That’s cold!  You don’t want to run your freezer that cold if it’s not necessary as it will consume more energy and cause higher utility bills.  Glass chillers, on the other hand can be run warmer, around 15 degrees F.

Remember to call or email if you have any service issues that need addressing, we specialize in commercial refrigeration sales, repair and maintenance service in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.  Commercial ice machines, ice cubers and flaked ice machines are our specialty.  Our full service ice machine and equipment leasing program is sure to meet your needs.

Thanks!  Looking forward to hearing from you!
