Cold storage & refrigeration electrical FAQs.

Quick answers to common questions from cold storage operators about costs, capabilities, and temperature-critical electrical services.

01How much does cold storage electrical work cost?

Cold storage electrical projects range from $15,000 for targeted upgrades to $500,000+ for complete facility buildouts. Refrigeration power, cold-rated lighting, monitoring systems, and backup power each have different cost profiles. Most facilities see meaningful ROI through energy savings and product loss prevention. We provide detailed proposals with phased implementation options.

02Can you work without disrupting our refrigeration systems?

Yes. We specialize in live-facility cold storage work using careful phased execution, temporary power arrangements, and constant temperature monitoring during installation. For work requiring refrigeration shutdowns, we coordinate closely with your operations team and can arrange temporary refrigeration support.

03Do you install backup power for cold storage facilities?

Absolutely, backup power is a core cold storage specialty. We install generator connections, automatic transfer switches, and UPS systems sized to keep your refrigeration running during extended outages. Protecting your cold chain means protecting your revenue.

04Can you handle food-grade and pharmaceutical cold storage requirements?

Yes. We understand the specialized requirements for food processing, pharmaceutical, and regulated cold storage environments including washdown-rated equipment, GFCI protection, stainless steel conduit, and installations that meet FDA, USDA, and cGMP standards.

05Do you install temperature monitoring and alarm systems?

Yes, temperature monitoring is critical for cold chain operations. We install automated monitoring systems with remote notification via phone, email, or text for temperature excursions, power failures, and equipment faults across all your cold zones.

06What if our refrigeration loses power in the middle of the night?
