Keeping it cool with prices lower than the fridge temps! Our business suffered with complications regarding our fridges and freezer and were looking for an affordable, effective service. Team Refrigeration not only supplied outstanding customer service by way of Reg Anderson but also swift delivery, collection and frequent, reliable communication. This outstanding service delivery meant that any repercussions were limited and the business was able to continue to supply our large customer base. I would highly recommend Team Refrigeration for any temperature control needs.
