Our History: We Live, Work and Play in Winter Garden

“A charming little city with a juicy past.”

Winter Garden is our home.  We love living, working and playing here.  And we take a lot of pride in this small community.  We feel there is a sort of kinship among local business owners because we all care about Winter Garden and are neighbors. We consider ourselves truly blessed to be here.  So providing reliable commercial refrigeration and HVAC services in Winter Garden is near and dear to our hearts.  And we are just around the corner for folks in this small city.

Our Foundation: Referrals With Little Advertising

We have been providing commercial refrigeration and HVAC service from Winter Garden for many years.  We are highly focused on commercial refrigeration and A/C. We are truly experts in the field.  And we strongly believe that makes us unique in this industry.  Although perform residential HVAC jobs, commercial refrigeration and HVAC is truly the core of our Winter Garden business.

The owner began his refrigeration related work more than two decades of experience as a restaurant manager and owner, based in nearby Apopka (Dairy Queen Restaurant), where he learned the vital importance of refrigeration needs and solutions.  At the same time, he sold restaurant equipment from a small Apopka storefront (called “JP’s Restaurant Supply,) where he coordinated ground-up entire restaurant refrigeration installations.  This quickly evolved into doing this type of work for all types of area businesses, not just restaurants.  He added the trade of commercial air conditioning, which nicely supplemented his existing knowledge about refrigeration, around the year 2000.  Around that same time, he opted to turn the storefront over to family members (now continuing to operate as International Restaurant Distributors, or IRD) and he branched into commercial refrigeration and air conditioning service on his own.

Commercial Specialty and Focus

Marathon Air now provides exceptional commercial refrigeration and HVAC repair to all types of Winter Garden area businesses, including stores, shops, strip malls, restaurants, churches, hospitals, and even much larger businesses outside Winter Garden like NASA, SouthWest Airlines, and Disney.  We are an all-inclusive Winter Garden refrigeration and HVAC repair service, offering sometimes innovative commercial refrigeration and air conditioning solutions.  Unlike many other HVAC businesses, we truly specialize in commercial refrigeration and A/C work.  From the first day we opened our doors, we have performed almost 90% commercial refrigeration and HVAC work.  That’s just where we feel comfortable.  For Marathon Air, commercial refrigeration and HVAC service and repair was never a spin-off from a primarily residential service.  Targeted commercial refrigeration and HVAC work has given us valuable experience, which often leads to saving time and money, which is a benefit that we pass along to you.

Affordability, Creativity and Expertise

Commercial refrigeration and AC sometimes demands creativity to solve what can be head-scratching problems.  Creativity tends to spring from familiarity.  We have simply “been there, done that,” in most cases.  So with commercial refrigeration equipment often provide very cost-effective and ingenious solutions.  For example, sometimes we remake doors, or have metal parts fabricated, rather than suggesting that you buy new equipment when relatively inexpensive individual parts break.  Sometimes we get on the phone with major refrigeration brand manufacturers.  We know when they might be able to help find a more budget-friendly solution.  This isn’t always true because sometimes you just need a new system, but we can help you with the repair or replace decision.

Solid Work Product Flows From Solid Work Ethic

If you need to purchase new commercial refrigeration or air conditioning systems in Winter Garden, you should know that we take a lot of pride in quality workmanship.  When we start welding, we don’t drop the torch until the job is finished, on each and every refrigeration line.  We think about your business, including ingress and egress, customer and employee flow, and placement of doors and windows.  How will those affect your comfort?  Proper and long-lasting cooling requires these efforts.

Properly Welded Refrigeration Joints Are Invisible

Unfortunately for good guys like us, and our customers, you cannot see these aspects of a quality refrigeration work.  In the HVACR trade, similar to many other “invisible” trades, like electricians and plumbers, unfortunately you can only really compare prices.  And even those are often deceiving because you can’t compare apples to apples in due to differing parts and brands, and even different levels of systems offered by the same refrigeration manufacturers.  However, like most things construction and repair related, there are lots of invisible ways to cut critical corners.  We never cut corners.

Think of Us Like One of Your Business Partners

When we read the list, we still even surprise ourselves!

Helpful Cooling Tips for Winter Garden Businesses

We are fully aware that your Winter Garden customers may be frustrated from discomfort or you may be losing food products when your refrigeration equipment malfunctions.  So we always–always–prioritize these types of emergency refrigeration calls.  But we have a few suggestions to minimize your problems before we arrive:

• Although involving an initial investment, you might want to consider purchasing back-up pieces of your most needed refrigeration equipment.
• Close your display and walk-in cooler doors when not using them.  Enforce this habit with your employees, too.
• Sounds simple, but always remember that you can buy ice. Obviously, this will temporarily solve ice machine malfunctioning problems.  You can also use either ice or dry ice (as much as you can stuff into your units) to reduce the temperature in your freezer or cooler until we arrive.
• Change your filters and keep your refrigeration equipment coils cleaned.  This is simply a business must, and will greatly improve the energy efficiency of your systems, plus this will help avoid more costly equipment malfunctions.  For your peace of mind, we recommend our preventive maintenance contracts.
• As an air conditioning back up plan, you could purchase a portable air conditioner for use in your business, in a hot pinch.
• In Winter Garden, if you are near the fountain, heck, go jump in!
