FAQ

Questions about ice machine repair on longboat key

Yes. Most of our Longboat Key work is residential, but the island's restaurants, clubs and resorts get full commercial service: $150 service call and diagnostic, same-day availability approaching from Sarasota or Bradenton.

Cloudiness is trapped minerals and air. As scale coats the evaporator, cubes freeze fast and dirty instead of slow and clear. Descaling the machine and upgrading the water filtration brings back the dense, clear ice a good bar wants.

We do, through the association or property manager. Shared-area machines get documented service with photos on the invoice, which makes board reporting painless.

Yes. Twice-a-year cleaning and sanitizing is the manufacturer baseline, and coastal machines justify a corrosion inspection on the same visit. Scheduled maintenance is how island machines avoid in-season surprises.
