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!
