My walk-in is icing up. What is wrong?

Almost always a failed defrost cycle. It can be the defrost timer, defrost heater, termination thermostat, or drain line freeze. We test each and replace the failed component.

Can you handle rooftop unit replacement in Hammond?

Yes. We coordinate crane lifts, permits, electrical, curb adapters, and start-up. Most replacements are completed in one day.

Do you replace as well as repair commercial refrigeration?

Yes. When a unit reaches end of life we install replacements from Hoshizaki, True, Beverage-Air, and most major brands sold in Hammond.

Can you save the food in a failed walk-in?

If we get the call early enough, yes. We bring portable refrigeration to bridge the gap on emergency calls when we cannot restore cooling in the same visit.

Do you require a contract term?

Most Hammond plans run 12 months and renew automatically. You can cancel with 30 days notice. We do not lock you into multi-year deals.

Do plans cover repairs or only inspections?

Plans cover the scheduled inspections, cleanings, and readings. Repairs are billed separately at a preferred labor rate for plan members.

What brands of commercial ice machines do you service in Hammond?

All major brands including Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Ice-O-Matic, Follett, and Kold-Draft. We carry the most common control boards and water inlet valves for these brands on the truck.

Can you repair my walk-in cooler or freezer the same day?

Most days yes. If the call comes in before 2 PM and your Hammond location is accessible, we aim for a same-day visit. For true emergencies we dispatch after hours and most refrigeration calls are resolved in one visit.

Do you offer preventive maintenance plans for restaurant equipment?

Yes. Our plans cover quarterly inspections of ice machines, walk-ins, reach-ins, ovens, and exhaust hoods. Plans include cleaning, electrical and refrigerant readings, and priority emergency dispatch.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. We service multi-tenant retail, restaurant groups, and property management portfolios across Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish with unified invoicing and per-location service histories.

What is your service area for commercial appliance work?

Hammond, Ponchatoula, Amite, Independence, Robert, Tickfaw, Albany, Springfield, Loranger, and the surrounding parts of Tangipahoa, Livingston, and St. Helena Parish.

Commercial Appliance Repair in Hammond, LA

Hammond is a food service town. Restaurants along US-190, downtown, near Southeastern Louisiana University, and out toward Ponchatoula run hot kitchens every day. Hotels along I-12 keep ice machines running 24 hours a day. Schools, hospitals, and assisted living kitchens cannot afford a freezer down for more than a few hours. TMAC Heating & Cooling specializes in keeping that equipment up.

How Hammond Businesses Use Our Maintenance Plans

Most of our Hammond plan clients run quarterly visits. That spacing catches refrigerant drift, dirty coils, and weak capacitors before the summer or winter peak. For restaurants and grocery operations we add monthly walk-in inspections during the hot months because a single failed evaporator fan in July can dump thousands of dollars of inventory.

What Plan Clients Tell Us

The two things Hammond plan clients consistently say after their first year: their average repair bill dropped, and they stopped getting surprised by failures. That is the whole point. Documented readings let our techs spot a slow leak or a weak compressor while it is still cheap to fix.

Schedule a Hammond Plan Walk-Through

We come to your Hammond location, inventory every piece of HVAC and refrigeration equipment, and build a written proposal with visit frequency, scope, and price. No pressure. Call (985) 215-8688.
