Texian Cold Archives
Every commercial refrigeration and HVAC job we’ve written up, organized by year. Walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in and glass-door merchandisers, commercial ice machines, glycol and process chillers, blood plasma and ultra-low freezers, reefer units, rooftop AC, and hot-side kitchen equipment across Waco, Temple, Hillsboro, Whitney, Gatesville, Mexia, Groesbeck, Clifton, Meridian, and surrounding Central Texas communities.
If you’re chasing a specific failure — a freezer frosting over, a compressor that won’t start, an ice machine stuck in harvest — there’s a good chance we’ve documented it. Browse by year below, or call 254-272-2714 for same-day commercial service.
