When the coolroom stops, the business stops. Southern Aircon & Refrigeration installs, maintains and repairs commercial refrigeration for South Coast businesses, from Ulladulla and Milton through Batemans Bay and Moruya to Narooma, and inland to Braidwood. We’re based at East Lynne, just north of Batemans Bay.

Who we work with
South Coast trade is seasonal. Many businesses do a big share of their year between Christmas and Easter, exactly when hot weather makes refrigeration work hardest. We look after refrigeration for:
- restaurants, cafés and takeaways
- pubs, clubs and bowling clubs – coolrooms, bar and bottle fridges
- bakeries, butchers and delis
- supermarkets, service stations and bottle shops – display cabinets
- farms and producers – coolrooms for produce
- accommodation, caravan parks and caterers
Our commercial refrigeration services
Coolroom and freezer room installation
We design and install coolrooms, freezer rooms and combination cool/freeze rooms sized for your stock, door traffic and the space available. That includes:
- working out the refrigeration load (what goes in, how often the door opens, the ambient heat in the space)
- choosing the condensing unit and evaporator, and where they go
- doors, strip curtains, lighting and temperature controls
- commissioning and handover
Repairs and breakdowns
Common faults we fix:
- coolroom not holding temperature or warming up overnight
- iced-up evaporators and drainage problems
- noisy or tripping compressors and fans
- refrigerant leaks
- faulty thermostats, controllers and door seals
- display fridges fogging or not reaching temperature
Planned maintenance
Regular maintenance is the cheapest way to avoid losing stock. A typical visit includes:
- cleaning condenser coils (salt, dust and kitchen grease cut efficiency)
- checking evaporator, drains and fans
- checking door seals, hinges and strip curtains
- checking refrigerant and operating pressures
- checking and recording temperatures
We recommend a visit before the summer holidays at minimum, and more often for busy kitchens.
Display and commercial fridges
Service and repair of display cabinets, upright and under-bench fridges and freezers, bar and bottle fridges.
Replacements and upgrades
Older systems can be expensive to run and may use refrigerants that are being phased down. We’ll give honest advice on whether to repair or replace, and what an upgrade involves.
Coastal conditions are hard on refrigeration
Condensing units near the coast deal with salt air, and in summer they’re often in hot laneways, on roofs or next to kitchen exhausts. That shortens equipment life and raises running costs. When we install or service we look at:
- airflow around the condensing unit and heat build-up
- protection from salt and corrosion
- easy access for future servicing
Air conditioning and refrigeration from one contractor
Many of our commercial clients also need air conditioning for the dining room, bar, office or shop floor. Because we do both, you can deal with one local team for the coolroom out the back and the commercial air conditioning out the front.

- Batemans Bay and surrounding suburbs
- Ulladulla, Milton and Mollymook

Licensing and compliance

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you respond to a coolroom breakdown?
We run a 24/7 breakdown service. Call 0401 317 694 any time.
Can you build a new coolroom for my business?
Yes. We’ll measure up, work out the refrigeration load and give you a free quote for the full job.
How often should a commercial coolroom be serviced?
At least once a year before summer; busy kitchens benefit from more frequent visits.
My coolroom is iced up. What should I do?
Check the door is sealing and closing properly and that nothing is blocking the evaporator. If ice keeps building up, call us. Don’t chip it off, as that can damage the coil.
Do you work on display fridges and bar fridges?
Yes, along with upright and under-bench fridges and freezers.
