Refrigeration

Live

A cold aisle downis product on a clock.

Refrigeration runs on the same equipment record as HVAC, but a failed walk-in at a grocery account is inventory loss on a clock. Thermal tracks the unit, the refrigerant charge and the SLA that decides who gets the call.

The box,on the record.

Racks, condensing units, walk-ins and low-temp display cases are each a serialized record with refrigerant, temperature readings, parts fitted and service history.

The rack and its condensing unit sit on the roof and in the machine room. They carry the same record and the same agreement.

One agreement.The response clock on it.

Response commitments are tracked on the same agreement as coverage and pricing, so the dispatcher sees the SLA and the customer’s history the moment a walk-in goes down.

Service agreements and SLA

Live

The response commitment sits on the same agreement that covers the HVAC side of the account.

Emergency calls jump the queue

Live

A failed walk-in or rack surfaces above the routine queue with its own marker and the customer’s history already open.

PM per unit

Coil cleans, leak checks and door-heater checks run against each unit’s own schedule.

Refrigerant charge on the unit

Live

Type, charge and every service event sit on the equipment record, the same field a technician checks before opening a rack system.

Records for EPA-relevant questions

An audit or phase-down question does not mean a week of digging. Compliance items surface in one queue the office works from.

Refrigeration equipment

Racks, condensing units, walk-ins and low-temp display cases as serialized records with service history.

HVAC and refrigeration together

A walk-in and a rooftop unit share the same equipment record, so a mixed shop keeps one customer record, one dispatch board and one service history.

Straight answers.

Is refrigeration a separate product from commercial HVAC?

No. Same equipment schema, same platform. A refrigeration unit gets the same serialized record as an HVAC unit, with refrigerant type and charge tracked the same way. See commercial HVAC.

Does Thermal handle EPA reporting for me?

No. Thermal captures the records a compliance-minded operation needs: refrigerant type, charge and full service history on the equipment record. It is not a certified regulatory filing service.

How does Thermal handle emergency refrigeration calls?

An emergency work order surfaces above the routine queue with its own marker and the customer’s history open, so the dispatcher can assign it right away. See dispatch.

Does the agreement track a response-time SLA?

Yes. SLA tracking is part of the service agreement, the same one that covers HVAC accounts, so the response commitment sits on the same record as coverage and pricing.

Can a shop run both HVAC and refrigeration in one system?

Yes. A walk-in and a rooftop unit share the same equipment record, so a mixed shop keeps one customer record, one dispatch board and one service history.
