- The rooftop unit is loud, vibrating or cycling on and off.
- Water stains on the ceiling under the unit, or a tripped float switch.
- Ice on the coil or the refrigerant lines.
- The unit trips the breaker, or the compressor hums and will not start.

Why Doctor Fridge
Specialists, not a general repair shop.
Family-owned, licensed, local.
Businesses across Southwest Florida call Doctor Fridge because downtime is expensive and guesswork makes it worse. We diagnose the real cause, quote the repair before any work begins, and tell you honestly when a unit is no longer worth repairing.
Licensed and insured
Florida HVAC license CAC1815692, and insured. You can verify the license with the state before you let anyone on site.
Cooling is all we do
Refrigeration, ice machines, wine cooling and air conditioning. We are specialists, not a general appliance shop.
Local and family-owned
Family-owned and operated from 835 Polaris Rd in Venice, with over 7 years of hands-on experience across Sarasota, Manatee & Charlotte counties.
One company, both systems
No need for one contractor for the walk-in and another for the rooftop unit. The same team handles both, so nobody passes the problem along.
