Commercial Refrigeration & HVAC Field Service Specialist

A day in the life at Excell Refrigeration

You start your morning with a well-stocked service vehicle and a clear slate of commercial calls. First stop: a restaurant walk-in cooler that’s icing up. You diagnose a failed evaporator fan motor, replace it, verify superheat and subcooling, and update the customer on next steps. After lunch, you head to a rooftop to bring a 15–20 ton packaged unit back online, then finish the day descaling a commercial ice machine and documenting work with crisp notes and photos. Throughout, you coordinate with dispatch, keep safety top of mind, and take pride in a job done right.
