FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? →
What areas do you service?

We provide commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and foodservice equipment service throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Southeast Indiana, and the Dayton, Ohio area.

Do you work on residential equipment?

No. Valley Commercial Service specializes exclusively in commercial systems and equipment.

How do I request service?

Service requests can be submitted by contacting our office at (513) 733-1188 or dispatch@valleyref.com.

Do you offer emergency service?

Yes. We provide emergency and after-hours service for critical equipment failures that impact business operations or food safety.

What if my walk-in cooler or freezer cannot be repaired the same day?

If repairs cannot be completed immediately, we work with our service partner, Cincinnati Mobile Refrigeration, to provide temporary refrigerated trailers for product storage.

Why was my equipment working when the technician arrived?

Many commercial systems fail intermittently due to electrical, control, sensor, or environmental factors.

Do you provide estimates?

When possible, estimates are discussed prior to non-emergency work. Some emergency repairs may require immediate authorization.

Why does commercial service cost more than residential service?

Commercial equipment requires specialized training, certifications, tools, parts, and regulatory compliance.

Can I request a specific technician?

We do our best to accommodate requests, but scheduling and availability determine final assignments.

Do you offer equipment installation and replacement?

Yes. We handle commercial equipment replacement, new installations, and system upgrades.

Do you offer preventive maintenance (PM) programs?

Yes. Preventive maintenance programs help reduce breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend equipment life.
