About commercial refrigeration in Atlanta
Atlanta has about 8,400 restaurants. Hot humid summers stress refrigeration heavily. The metro is sometimes called "Hotlanta" by service techs because of how hard equipment works June through September. Standard rates: $125 to $185.
The Atlanta refrigeration market is unusually competitive. Many mid-sized service companies, good after-hours availability, and reasonable price competition. Notable local quirk: a lot of Atlanta restaurants were built in the 2005 to 2015 expansion period and that equipment is reaching first-major-service age right now, just as refrigerant transition is making R-404A service expensive.

Do I need a commercial refrigeration tech or can a regular HVAC technician fix this?
