Walk-in and Custom Installation

The majority of the work we do at Horton Commercial Refrigeration is the installation of walk-in coolers and freezers and environmental chambers in schools, hospitals, universities and industrial sites. Ice-makers, beverage systems and other refrigeration make up the rest of our work. We have been trusted with some of the most important refrigeration jobs in the DFW Metro-plex.

All of our employees have gone through background checks and random drug screening. They meet all the qualifications for the DISD ROCIP insurance requirements.

"Horton Commercial Refrigeration's installation crews are among the most professional we've ever worked with. Not only do they know how to do the job, but they understand the importance of safety on the job. "

The Difference is in the De tails...
For walk-in installation, we use utmost care to make sure the unit will last properly. Some of the differences in our installation and others:

• We use lasers to square and level the walls. This prevents cracking and leaking for optimal performance.
• Only new ACR hard copper is used on the refrigeration lines - never used or recycled.
• We use one-inch thick wall insultube suction line pipe insulation.
• Ray-Chem self-regulating ceramic heat trace cable is installed on freezer drain lines which insures the cable never shorts out.
• All penetrations are sealed with urethane foam or 100% USDA-approved silicone.
• We high-pressure nitrogen and leak-test our refrigeration systems and pull micro vacuums.
• We use only virgin new refrigerant - we never use reclaimed refrigerant.
