Hot Side, Cold Side – We’re on your side

Keeping Central Florida Kitchens Running at Full Capacity

In the fast-paced world of foodservice, equipment failure isn’t just inconvenient. It’s expensive. From peak dinner rushes to high-volume catering operations, every piece of equipment must perform flawlessly. That’s why ARES Services provides professional hot side and cold side servicing in Central Florida, helping restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, and commercial kitchens stay operational and profitable.

Whether it’s a failing oven during lunch service or a walk-in cooler struggling to hold temperature, responsive service and proactive maintenance make all the difference.


What Is Hot Side Servicing?

Hot side equipment refers to the cooking line — the heart of your kitchen. These high-heat appliances endure constant stress and heavy usage.

ARES Services maintains and repairs:

  • Commercial ovens
  • Fryers
  • Griddles
  • Ranges
  • Steamers
  • Warmers and holding cabinets

When hot side equipment isn’t properly maintained, it can lead to:

  • Inconsistent cooking temperatures
  • Increased gas or electric consumption
  • Premature part failure
  • Fire and safety risks
  • Unexpected shutdowns during service

Professional hot side servicing ensures your cooking equipment operates safely, efficiently, and consistently.


What Is Cold Side Servicing?

Cold side equipment protects your inventory, ensures food safety, and maintains regulatory compliance. Refrigeration issues can quickly become costly — both financially and reputationally.

ARES Services services and repairs:

  • Walk-in coolers
  • Walk-in freezers
  • Reach-in refrigeration units
  • Prep tables
  • Ice machines
  • Beverage coolers

Without proper maintenance, refrigeration systems can suffer from:

  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Compressor strain
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Excess energy consumption
  • Spoiled inventory

Routine cold side servicing protects your investment and ensures food safety standards are consistently met.


Why Preventative Maintenance Is Critical

Many operators wait until equipment fails before calling for service. Unfortunately, reactive repairs often cost significantly more than preventative maintenance.

1. Reduce Emergency Breakdowns

Routine inspections catch worn components before they fail. Replacing a small part during scheduled service is far less disruptive than emergency downtime during peak hours.

2. Extend Equipment Lifespan

Commercial kitchen equipment is a major capital investment. Preventative maintenance helps ovens, refrigeration systems, and other appliances operate longer and more reliably.

3. Improve Energy Efficiency

Dirty coils, clogged burners, and miscalibrated thermostats force equipment to work harder. Regular servicing improves efficiency and lowers utility costs.

4. Maintain Food Safety Compliance

Properly functioning refrigeration systems are critical for meeting health code standards in Central Florida. Preventative service helps protect both your customers and your business reputation.

5. Protect Your Bottom Line

Downtime equals lost revenue. A preventative maintenance program minimizes interruptions and keeps your team focused on service — not equipment failures.
