Zeal is a good commercial refrigeration company with a professional team! The temperature of my cool room was very high last week, and I called Zeal to find someone to help me. The responding time is super fast from them and a very awsome tech came to my cool room and fixed the problem quickly. From the start I called the service until they finished the problem, the whole process was super fast and professional, and all the people from Zeal were very kind. And the price is very GOOD!!! If my equipment is broken in the future, I will call Zeal without any hesitation.

My Coolroom broke down with all my fresh Mushrooms going bad at 1am in the morning on a Saturday / Sunday and Zeal Refrigeration saved my life and my business for the late night call out. He adjusted all the settings along with re wiring and replacing a fan so now my Coolroom is running perfectly! Thanks again 👍 - Jaz

Urgent call out 3pm as our main fridge broke. Not only was admin amazing in organising the tech, they arrived after hours around 6:00pm and carried out the repair DURING service.

We’ve been in F&B for close to 10 years but no company has come close to the professionalism of Zeal.

They will have all our work moving forward.

Thank you!

Preventative Maintenance for Central Kitchens

Preventive maintenance is the key to keeping your central kitchen running without interruption. Zeal Group offers tailored hospitality refrigeration service programs for corporate kitchens, catering facilities, and supermarkets across Melbourne and Victoria.

Regular maintenance not only reduces the risk of costly emergency repairs but also improves energy efficiency, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures food-safety compliance.

Our maintenance programs include:

  • Routine inspections: Scheduled visits every three to six months (quarterly for heavy-use systems) to catch potential issues early.
  • Coil and fan cleaning: Improves heat exchange, airflow, and system efficiency.
  • Leak detection and pressure testing: Keeps refrigerant levels balanced and compliant with environmental standards.
  • Control calibration: Ensures accurate temperature and defrost cycles.
  • Door seal and hinge inspections: Repaired or replaced to maintain temperature integrity and prevent warm air ingress.
  • Energy-efficiency audits: Identify inefficiencies and recommend system upgrades to reduce running costs.
  • Compliance reporting: Comprehensive records for HACCP and FSANZ audits.

Clients who follow regular preventive maintenance schedules experience fewer emergency breakdowns and improved energy efficiency. We schedule maintenance visits around your production times to avoid disruption and ensure your kitchen remains compliant, efficient, and operational year-round.
