When a refrigeration system suffers a catastrophic failure, waiting until the next business day simply isn’t an option.

Tuesday morning, Aaron was called in to address a clients concern... unfortunately the diagnostics was a failed RAC system. After several phone calls, and a few strings pulled, we worked through the night, right through to 6:00am Wednesday morning, to get the replacement installed.

From removing the failed equipment to installing and commissioning the replacement, this was a reminder of what commercial refrigeration demands: experience, commitment, and getting the job done when it matters most.

We understand that refrigeration failures can have serious consequences for businesses. We deliver practical solutions when things go wrong, even if that means working through the night.

Although we were called out and diagnosed the fault by 2am Wednesday morning, this one wasn't on as much of a time crunch thanks to our chiller trailer!

We managed to load up the trailer with the chillers contents and were right into it the following morning with a solution.

Some jobs just can’t wait until morning.

Monday avo at 3.30pm we received a call from a client up north with milk taking a very long time to chill. A refrigerant leak had developed through the compressor electrical terminals, caused by corrosion and rust.

With a full vat of milk relying on the refrigeration, we got stuck in and replaced the old Patton packaged unit with a new Ryker condensing unit, completing the refrigeration and electrical work before commissioning it back into service.

After few hours, coffee, and a solid nights work, we were climbing into bed around 6am on Tuesday morning as everyone else was just getting up for work.

The important part — the milk was saved.

When your mid-temp Bitzer gets a little too excited about winter and we have to step in for some well deserved maintenance.

Commercial freezer project for South Kaipara Good Food

Another project completed for South Kaipara Good Food , a long-standing Sambar Electrical & Refrigeration client.

This installation showcases a practical, cost-effective approach using carefully selected second-hand insulated freezer panels, reworked and installed to deliver a clean, professional commercial finish without compromising performance.

The existing panels were assessed, reconfigured, and installed to suit a footprint designed by us, with the front-facing panels matched and aligned for a more consistent, commercial-grade appearance. Selected surfaces were then prepared, filled where required, and finished in a 'machine white' coating to achieve a clean, uniform look.

The project included:

- Custom panel work and paint work
- Reconfiguration and installation of existing insulated panels
- Insulated freezer floor construction
- Commercial freezer door installation
- Aluminium checker-plate flooring
- Commercial refrigeration system installation designed and spec'ed by us
- Copeland electronic temperature control
- Internal lighting and full electrical works
- Final testing and temperature calibration

The completed freezer is operating at approximately -18°C, providing reliable frozen storage for ongoing commercial use.

We understand that not every project requires a full new build. With the right technical expertise, existing materials and systems can be repurposed and upgraded to commercial standard, reducing overall project cost while still achieving a professional, long-lasting result.

We appreciate the continued trust of South Kaipara Good Food and the opportunity to continue supporting their refrigeration requirements.

From panel installation and refrigeration systems through to electrical and commissioning, we deliver complete end-to-end solutions with one trusted team.
