Walk-In Cooler Replacement & Code Compliance Upgrade in Chicago, Illinois

Complete Walk-In Cooler Replacement for KFire Korean BBQ & Wings in Logan Square

Citywide Supply & Service recently completed a full walk-in cooler replacement and code-compliance upgrade for KFire Korean BBQ & Wings, located in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The restaurant had been dealing with repeated cooling issues, safety concerns, and system failures that were jeopardizing food storage reliability and daily operations.

During our initial inspection, it was clear that the existing cooler system required full replacement to meet performance, safety, and City of Chicago code standards.

Citywide Supply & Service has an outstanding online reputation backed by years of positive reviews from restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food-service operators across Chicago.

Issues Identified During Inspection

The existing walk-in cooler suffered from several serious problems that made repair impractical and potentially unsafe:

  • A door that would not seal properly
  • Compromised and deteriorated door gaskets
  • The evaporator drain line did not comply with the city code
  • Gaps throughout various sections of the cooler box
  • Aging condenser operating on outdated refrigerant
  • Frequent breakdowns leading to unreliable temperature control
  • Refrigerant leaks across multiple sections of the line set

Any one of these issues could cause product loss—combined, they indicated the system had reached the end of its usable life.

Full Walk-In Cooler Replacement

Citywide Supply & Service recommended a complete cooler replacement designed for reliability, performance, and long-term cost savings. The customer chose this option due to:

  • The constant failures of the existing system
  • The outdated and no-longer-supported refrigerant
  • The structural gaps and improper drainage
  • The need to bring the system fully up to the City of Chicago code

The new system was installed to meet all local code requirements and provide consistent, efficient cooling for daily restaurant operations.

Customer Chose a 5-Year Warranty & Maintenance Plan

One major factor in the customer’s decision was our full 5-year warranty on all parts and equipment. This long-term protection gives restaurant owners peace of mind, especially in high-demand kitchens like KFire Korean BBQ & Wings.

The system was also enrolled in our 5-year maintenance plan, which includes:

  • Scheduled coil cleaning
  • Refrigerant checks
  • Drain inspections
  • Door gasket and seal checks
  • Full system diagnostics

This ensures the new walk-in cooler stays reliable, efficient, and fully code-compliant.

Code Compliance Achieved

Our installation fully complied with the City of Chicago mechanical and refrigeration code, including:

  • Properly installed and approved condensate drain
  • Correctly sealed walk-in cooler structure
  • Modern refrigerant system meeting environmental and safety standards
  • Code-approved clearances, airflow, and access
  • Properly sealing doors, gaskets, and thresholds

With all work completed, the restaurant now has a dependable, energy-efficient walk-in cooler ready to support daily service.
