  • PJL Land Services is an irrigation and landscape lighting contractor based in Newmarket, serving York Region and the wider GTA. We design, install, and repair sprinkler systems, handle spring openings and fall winterizations, and install drip irrigation and low-voltage landscape lighting. We're also certified Hydrawise installers, so if your controller is older than your kids, we can fix that too. What you can expect: honest diagnosis, plain answers, and no upselling. If a $12 part fixes your problem, that's what we'll tell you — not that you need a new system. We aim for same-day repair availability during the season, because a broken zone in July doesn't care about your schedule. We build systems to last, which is why everything we install carries a 3-year parts and labour warranty. That means pressure-regulated heads, matched precipitation nozzles, and properly buried wiring — not the cheapest parts we could find at the supply house. Every service visit comes with a written work order documenting what we found, what we fixed, and what's worth keeping an eye on. No surprises, no vague invoices. If your lawn's half swamp and half desert, or your hedges are dying of thirst, give us a call.

Hiring a Refrigeration Technician vs. HVAC-R Contractor

When choosing a professional, it’s useful to understand the difference between a refrigeration specialist and a full HVAC-R contractor.

Refrigeration Technicians

  • Focused expertise in cooling and refrigeration systems

  • Ideal for fridge/freezer repairs, maintenance, and small-scale installations

  • Often more cost-effective for single-unit or domestic jobs

HVAC-R Contractors

  • Handle heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration

  • Best for integrated systems or commercial-scale projects

  • Provide end-to-end service, including system design, installation, and ongoing maintenance

On HomeStars, you’ll find both refrigeration specialists and HVAC-R contractors so you can choose the best pro for your project.

What to Ask Before You Hire a Refrigeration Technician Near You

Before hiring a refrigeration technician, it’s important to ask the right questions. From experience and qualifications to pricing and equipment, knowing what to look for helps you make an informed decision — and ensures you get the most suitable service for your cooling and refrigeration needs.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a refrigeration specialist:

What refrigeration services do you offer?

Not every technician covers the same scope of work. Some specialise in commercial refrigeration, while others focus on residential systems. Services may include refrigeration repairs, maintenance, full installations, HVAC-R servicing, or niche tasks such as walk-in cooler setups or ice machine repairs.

Are you certified and insured?

It’s essential to hire a qualified refrigeration mechanic with the proper certifications and public liability insurance. This protects both you and the technician in case of accidental damage or injury. Don’t hesitate to ask about their trade experience and whether they’ve worked on systems similar to yours.

What are your rates, and how are they structured?

Refrigeration repair costs typically range from $90 to $185 per hour**, plus parts or emergency call-out fees. Installation or full system replacements can cost thousands depending on size and complexity.

Be sure to ask:

  • Is there a diagnostic or call-out fee?

  • Do they charge extra for emergency or after-hours work?

  • Are parts included in the quoted rate, or billed separately?

A clear pricing discussion helps avoid unpleasant surprises later.

Can you provide references or reviews?

Refrigeration specialists often have reviews from past clients. Whether you’re browsing testimonials on HomeStars or asking for direct references, feedback is one of the best indicators of professionalism and the level of service you can expect.

What’s your availability and emergency policy?

Breakdowns often happen at the worst possible time. Check whether the technician offers emergency repair services and how quickly they can respond. If it’s regular maintenance you need, confirm how far in advance you should schedule and whether they have ongoing service contracts available.

How do you handle access if I’m not on-site?

If you won’t be home or on the premises during the job, discuss how the technician will access the system. Options may include meeting a property manager, leaving keys with staff, or scheduling around business hours.

FAQs: Your Questions About Refrigeration Technicians Answered

Do refrigeration technicians work on both domestic and commercial systems?

Yes. Some refrigeration specialists focus on residential appliances, while HVAC-R contractors often work on larger commercial systems like cold rooms, walk-in freezers, or integrated HVAC solutions.

How often should I service my refrigeration unit?

Domestic fridges and freezers should be serviced every 1–2 years. Commercial systems may require quarterly maintenance due to heavier usage. Regular servicing helps prevent breakdowns and extend the lifespan of the unit.

What are signs I need a refrigeration specialist?
  • Your fridge/freezer isn’t cooling properly

  • You notice unusual noises or leaks

  • The system cycles on and off too frequently

  • Ice build-up or frost appears in unexpected places

  • Energy bills are unusually high

Can refrigeration technicians handle refrigerant safely?

Yes. Professional refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics should be trained and certified to safely handle refrigerants in compliance with environmental regulations.
