Our Refrigeration Services
Refrigeration Unit Installation
We install all types of standard refrigeration units in homes, apartments, and workspaces. Before placing any unit, we visit the site, check the space, and confirm the right size and features needed. We place the system with steady support, connect each part securely, and test the full cycle before we leave. Our service also includes giving you clear steps on how to manage basic controls and check for early signs of trouble.

We repair faulty parts, slow cooling, loud noises, and leak problems in home and office refrigeration systems. Once we receive a repair request, we visit quickly, identify the problem, and promptly provide the right solution. We usually carry common tools and parts that help us complete repairs within a single visit. Along with fixing the issue, we also check the full unit to avoid repeat issues.
Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
We provide scheduled cleaning and maintenance services that protect systems from overuse, dirt buildup, and energy waste. Our service includes full coil cleaning, seal checks, temperature tests, and part inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether my refrigerator/freezer needs a repair or a full replacement?
A repair is usually best when a single component (compressor relay, thermostat, fan, defrost heater, or a seal) fails and the rest of the system is sound. Replace the unit when repairs are frequent, the compressor has failed, efficiency is poor, refrigerant is obsolete, or repair cost approaches 50% of a new unit’s price. Also consider age: refrigeration systems over 10–15 years old often benefit from replacement for reliability and energy savings.
Why is my refrigerator running constantly and my energy bill spiking?
Constant running usually points to dirty coils, failing condenser fans, poor door seals, incorrect temperature settings, or refrigerant issues. Dust on coils reduces heat release so the system works harder; weak seals let warm air in; a failing thermostat or sensor misreads temps. Routine coil cleaning and seal checks restore efficiency. Enchanted Hills Mechanical diagnoses the root cause quickly and helps customers lower energy use while improving performance.
What routine maintenance should I schedule to avoid emergency refrigeration failures?
Schedule coil cleaning, door-seal inspection, defrost cycle checks, temperature calibration, and fan/motor tests at least twice a year. For heavy-use commercial systems, quarterly service is ideal. Maintenance prevents compressor strain, food spoilage, and costly emergency repairs. Our team provides a detailed service log, showing current condition and practical recommendations so you can budget for preventive work rather than deal with unplanned breakdowns.
How does frost buildup happen and how do you fix slow-defrost issues?
Frost accumulates when defrost heaters or sensors fail, or when humid air seeps through poor door seals. Frequent door openings can worsen this issue. Slow defrosting often stems from faulty timers or clogged drain lines. Our technicians inspect defrost components, test heating elements, clean drain lines, and recalibrate cycles to restore proper airflow. We also educate customers on usage habits that prevent future frost buildup.
Are there immediate food-safety steps I should take if my unit fails overnight?
Yes. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to retain cold air as long as possible. A full freezer keeps items frozen for up to 48 hours, while a half-full one lasts around 24 hours. Move perishable items to coolers with ice if necessary. Discard food above 40°F for more than two hours. Enchanted Hills Mechanical prioritizes emergency response to stabilize temperatures and advises on food-safety precautions.
What causes strange noises and are they urgent?
Buzzing, rattling, or clicking noises may come from loose panels, fan motors, or compressor relays. Some noises are harmless, but others signal wear that can lead to compressor failure. Continuous humming or knocking usually requires immediate inspection. Our technicians use advanced diagnostics to identify the cause, check motor amperage, and tighten components to prevent costly damage. We carry common parts to make most repairs on-site.
How do you size and choose the right refrigeration unit for my space?
Proper sizing ensures energy efficiency, temperature stability, and longevity. Undersized systems overwork, while oversized ones waste power and control humidity poorly. We assess your room layout, ventilation, and usage requirements before recommending a model. Enchanted Hills Mechanical installs units that balance cooling power with your storage needs and provide reliable temperature consistency year-round.
What are common misconceptions about DIY refrigeration repair?
DIY repairs can be risky due to the sealed refrigerant system, electrical hazards, and EPA regulations. Adding refrigerant without fixing leaks or bypassing controls can worsen performance and void warranties. While you can safely clean coils or replace a light bulb, internal repairs should be handled by certified technicians. We ensure safe, compliant repairs using professional tools and environmentally responsible practices.
How do you handle commercial refrigeration differently than residential?
Commercial systems operate continuously and are subject to strict health standards. They require stronger components, faster service, and detailed documentation. We provide rapid-response repairs, temperature logging, and maintenance scheduling tailored to business hours. Enchanted Hills Mechanical’s commercial service minimizes downtime, ensures compliance, and keeps your products safe while helping manage operational costs efficiently.
What should I expect during a service visit — process and transparency?
Every visit begins with a thorough inspection and temperature check. We identify potential failures, explain findings clearly, and provide upfront pricing before work begins. For installations, we confirm sizing, electrical compatibility, and test performance after setup. Our technicians explain each step and answer your questions, ensuring you understand what’s done and why. Transparent communication and integrity are part of every service.
