One contractor for the boxes and the plant.
Walk-in coolers and freezers, condensing units, mechanical rooms and plant. Most buildings need two contractors for that. Here it is one team, one schedule and one invoice.
24/7 emergency line
Plant down? Ring it now.
Refrigeration and heating failures are answered at any hour, any day, for commercial and industrial sites.
Who we work for
Operations where the refrigeration failing is a revenue problem the same day.
-
Restaurants & kitchens
Walk-ins, prep refrigeration and the plant conditioning the room out front. Service scheduled around your hours, not ours.
-
Grocery & food retail
Several boxes, long hours, and stock worth more than the equipment keeping it cold. Records you can put in front of an inspector.
-
Property & facility management
Common-area HVAC, mechanical rooms and amenity refrigeration, with written reporting you can pass to an owner or a council.
-
General contractors
Fit-outs and tenant improvements with the mechanical and the refrigeration in one scope — one sub, one schedule.
-
Food storage & distribution
Larger boxes, longer runs and systems where the cost of being down is measured in pallets.
-
Industrial & process
Mechanical rooms, process cooling and plant that nobody thinks about until the day it stops.

Why planned work beats emergency work
The arithmetic is not complicated. A scheduled maintenance visit costs a fraction of an after-hours callout, and an after-hours callout is the cheaper half of a refrigeration failure. The expensive half is the stock.
Most of the emergency refrigeration calls we attend trace back to something that a routine visit would have caught: a condenser nobody had cleaned, a door gasket that had been torn for months, a defrost heater that failed quietly weeks before the box finally gave up.
None of which means you need a contract. Plenty of our work is one-off repairs and that is fine. But if refrigeration downtime would genuinely hurt your operation, planned maintenance is the cheapest insurance available.
How a call runs
-
You call or send the work order
Tell us the site, the equipment and what it is doing. Nameplate details speed everything up.
-
We attend and diagnose
You get told what is wrong and what it takes to fix it before the work goes ahead.
-
You get the paperwork
Service records and reporting you can hand to an owner, a council or an inspector.
Before you replace commercial equipment
BC Hydro and FortisBC both run business incentive programmes that cover refrigeration and HVAC equipment upgrades. They have conditions attached — on the site, on the equipment and on the contractor doing the work — and the application goes through the utility rather than through us.
If a replacement is on your horizon, check those programmes before you commit to anything. It is worth a phone call to them, and we would rather you made it than missed out.
Questions operators ask
Can you work outside our service hours?
Yes. After-hours and weekend work is normal for commercial jobs, and for a kitchen it is usually the only sensible time. Say so when you call and we will schedule around your service.
Do you carry insurance documentation?
Yes. InFlow Mechanical is licensed and insured, WorkSafeBC registered and carries commercial general liability insurance. Certificates are available on request.
Our walk-in is warming up right now. What should we do?
Call 672-762-7877 — refrigeration failures are on the 24/7 line. Then keep the door shut, move what you can to a working box or onto ice, and check the condenser is not blocked. Our walk-in cooler guide covers what to check while you wait.
Can you take on a site with several locations?
Yes. Tell us how many sites and what equipment is at each, and we will be straight with you about what we can cover properly rather than overcommitting.
Do you handle the refrigeration and the HVAC, or just one?
Both, which is the point. A building with a walk-in cooler and its own mechanical plant normally needs two contractors with two schedules and two invoices. Here it is one.

Call and tell us what is installed and what it is doing. If it is urgent, calling is the fastest way to reach us.
