Text the RequestNobody publishes this, so we did. These ranges come from our own repair invoices across South Mississippi and the Northshore over the last two years. They are not quotes. They are what the middle half of jobs on each kind of equipment ended up costing, so you can budget before you call anyone.
Ranges are the middle half of our own repair invoices for that equipment over the last two years, rounded to the nearest $25. Planned-maintenance contracts and full replacements are not included. Updated quarterly.
| Equipment | Typical repair (middle half) | Median | Complex repairs | What usually drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walk-in cooler or freezer | $775 to $1,425 | $1,025 | up to about $2,350 | Evaporator fan motors, defrost heaters and timers, door heaters, refrigerant leaks, compressor |
| Commercial ice machine | $625 to $1,025 | $800 | up to about $1,450 | Water and bin sensors, pumps, inlet valves, scale, harvest problems, compressor |
| Rooftop HVAC unit / split system | $625 to $1,525 | $900 | up to about $2,600 | Capacitors and contactors, condenser fan motors, refrigerant leaks, boards, compressor |
| Commercial fryer | $675 to $1,525 | $1,000 | up to about $2,475 | Thermopiles and igniters, gas valves, high-limit switches, controllers, heating elements |
| Soft-serve, shake or slush machine | $625 to $1,425 | $925 | up to about $2,475 | Beater motors, relays, hopper and cylinder sensors, seals and o-rings, compressor |
| Reach-in cooler or prep table | $725 to $1,850 | $1,150 | up to about $1,850 | Fan motors, thermostats and controllers, door gaskets, refrigerant leaks, compressor |
| Grill, griddle or flat top | $750 to $1,475 | $1,100 | up to about $1,925 | Thermostats, elements, gas valves and igniters, wiring |
| Commercial oven | $725 to $1,525 | $1,100 | up to about $1,950 | Igniters and gas valves, elements, thermostats, control boards, door hardware |
When a repair lands in the complex range on a unit past its expected life, we say so on the spot, with the replacement number next to it. We would rather lose a repair than sell you one that comes back in ninety days.
A useful rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half of a new unit and the unit is more than ten years old, replacement usually wins. We will show you the math either way.
Three things move a job from typical to complex: the part (a compressor or control board versus a relay or capacitor), the access (a rooftop unit that needs a bucket truck versus a reach-in on the floor), and the history (equipment that has run for years without maintenance rarely has just one thing wrong).
The cheapest repair is the one that never happens. Every equipment page on this site has a maintenance section for that reason.

Text the RequestNo. They are ranges from our own invoices so you can budget. The diagnostic visit turns the range into a number for your unit, and you approve that number before any repair.
A flat service charge during standard hours. Ask when you call, and we will tell you before we roll.
After-hours and emergency work carries a higher service charge. We say the number on the call, not on the invoice.
Walk-ins hold more product, so they get pushed harder and longer before someone calls, and the repairs skew toward refrigerant leaks and compressors. Ice machines fail more often on sensors, pumps, and scale, which are cheaper parts.
Yes, on the spot, with the replacement number next to the repair number. We stand behind repairs, so we do not sell ones we would not stand behind.
