What We Do

RCC provides end‑to‑end commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC services that can be tailored to one site or scaled across many locations.

• Industrial refrigeration - Custom design, service, and maintenance for large‑scale and process‑critical refrigeration systems used in warehouses, food and livestock facilities, laboratories, and other industrial environments where uptime and product integrity are essential.
• Commercial refrigeration - Installation, service, and preventative maintenance for ice machines, walk‑in and reach‑in coolers and freezers, restaurant equipment, and retail refrigeration across supermarkets, foodservice, and institutional kitchens.
• Commercial HVAC and air conditioning - Sales, installation, and repair for commercial air conditioning and ventilation systems that keep buildings comfortable and compliant while protecting sensitive products and equipment.
• New installations, retrofits, and engineering - Turnkey support for new construction, system upgrades, and engineered solutions, combining design, project planning, and field installation to get jobs done correctly the first time.
• Service contracts and 24/7 emergency service - Preventative maintenance programs and round‑the‑clock emergency response help reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and keep facilities operating safely and efficiently.

RCC's ability to work with a wide range of leading manufacturers gives clients more options without sacrificing quality or value.

Process Overview: How It Works

We use a clear, structured process that supports both small single‑site jobs and large multi‑facility programs.

1. Consultation & site review -- We listens to your operational needs, reviews existing equipment, and evaluates site conditions, energy goals, and regulatory requirements.
2. Engineering & system design -- When needed, our engineering capabilities are used to design or refine refrigeration and HVAC solutions that meet capacity, efficiency, and compliance targets.
3. Proposal & planning -- You receive a detailed scope outlining equipment, labor, phasing, and budget so work can be scheduled around your operations.
4. Installation or corrective work -- Licensed, trained technicians perform installation, modifications, or repairs using our well‑equipped service vehicles and warehouse‑managed parts inventory.
5. Testing, commissioning & turnover -- Systems are tested, adjusted, and documented so they perform as intended, with clear communication back to your facilities or operations team.
6. Ongoing maintenance & emergency support -- Service contracts and 24/7 emergency response keep your systems running, with scheduled preventative visits and fast reaction when issues arise.

Timelines vary based on project size and permitting or engineering requirements, but RCC's in‑house expertise and stocked vehicles help minimize delays and keep projects on schedule.

Team & Story

Refrigeration Control Company has been family‑owned and operated since its founding more than 40 years ago, and those family values guide how we treat customers and employees. The leadership team views the business as an extension of who we are, emphasizing honesty, integrity, and long‑term relationships over short-term profits.

RCC prides itself on having some of the most capable technical staff in its industry, requiring regulatory and environmental certifications for all technicians and investing in continuous education. New technicians go through a formal internal training program and shadow senior technical staff so they can confidently handle complex equipment under supervision before working independently.
