Commercial & Industrial Refrigeration Services in Burnaby, BC
Burnaby sits at the centre of Metro Vancouver’s supply chain and food economy, and it’s growing on both fronts. The Big Bend industrial area in South Burnaby — home to Riverbend Business Park, Glenwood Industrial Estates, and a fast-expanding roster of cold-chain, logistics, and manufacturing tenants — now runs some of the region’s largest refrigerated warehousing and distribution operations. At the same time, the retail and dining corridors around Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds keep growing right alongside them. Proton Mechanical provides commercial and industrial refrigeration installation, repair, and maintenance built to handle Burnaby’s mix of scale and speed.
Our technicians are on call 24/7 throughout Burnaby and the wider Lower Mainland.

Dependable Refrigeration for Burnaby's Commercial and Industrial Sector
Burnaby’s economy runs on two engines that both depend heavily on refrigeration. In the Big Bend industrial district, cold-chain logistics operators, food distributors, and manufacturers run large-scale refrigerated warehousing and process cooling systems around the clock — the kind of infrastructure that can’t afford unplanned downtime. A short distance away, the commercial corridors around Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds support a dense concentration of restaurants, grocery retailers, and hospitality businesses that depend on walk-ins, display cases, and prep-line systems working every single service.
When refrigeration fails in either setting, the cost isn’t hypothetical — it’s spoiled product, a failed health inspection, or a warehouse full of inventory with nowhere cold to go. Proton Mechanical works exclusively with commercial and industrial clients, which means every technician we send understands the equipment, the compliance requirements, and the stakes involved — not a residential callout squeezed into a commercial visit.
We respond across every part of Burnaby, from the Big Bend and Marine Way industrial corridor through to Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, and the Still Creek and Lougheed areas — with response times built around how urgent your situation actually is.

Our Burnaby Commercial & Industrial Refrigeration Services
Whether you’re running a distribution centre in Big Bend or a busy kitchen near Metrotown, Proton Mechanical delivers full-scope refrigeration services matched to your facility and your schedule.
INSTALLATION
We design and install commercial and industrial refrigeration systems for Burnaby businesses of every size — from cold storage and process cooling systems for Big Bend’s warehousing and manufacturing operations to walk-ins, display cases, and prep-line systems for restaurants and retailers across the city. Every project is engineered around your building, your load requirements, and your operating hours.
Our scope covers the full project lifecycle: system design, load calculations, equipment selection, installation, and commissioning — all built to BC Technical Safety Standards and current refrigerant regulations from day one.
REPAIR
A refrigeration failure doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our repair team is available 24/7 across Burnaby, whether it’s a compressor down at a Big Bend distribution facility, a walk-in cooler failure mid-service at a Metrotown-area restaurant, or a temperature alarm going off at a food processing plant overnight.
We service all major commercial and industrial equipment brands, and our fully stocked service vehicles are built to resolve most repairs in a single visit — because a second visit means a second day of downtime.
MAINTENANCE
Most refrigeration emergencies are preventable. We build maintenance programs around how your facility actually operates, whether that’s a seasonal check-in for a single restaurant unit or an ongoing service schedule for a multi-system industrial facility in Big Bend.
Our maintenance visits cover coil and condenser cleaning, refrigerant pressure and leak testing, electrical system inspection, compressor health checks, airflow and temperature calibration, and full system performance review — the same checklist whether you’re running one cooler or twenty.

Burnaby’s commercial base spans large-scale industrial cold storage and distribution, a busy restaurant and hospitality scene, and a growing retail and specialty food sector. Here’s how Proton Mechanical supports each.
FOOD PROCESSING & MANUFACTURING
The Big Bend industrial area — including Riverbend Business Park and Glenwood Industrial Estates — is home to food distributors, cold-chain operators, and manufacturers running refrigeration systems at industrial scale. We install and maintain large-format walk-in freezers, blast chillers, process cooling systems, and cold storage facilities built to regulatory standards and built to stay running.
RESTAURANTS & HOSPITALITY
From the dense restaurant scene around Metrotown and Brentwood to the neighbourhood spots along Edmonds and Kingsway, we install and service the kitchen refrigeration that high-volume food service depends on — walk-ins, reach-ins, under-counter coolers, and prep-line systems sized for real service pressure.
GROCERY & SPECIALTY FOOD RETAIL
Burnaby’s grocery and specialty retail scene — from large-format chains to independent food retailers across Metrotown, Brentwood, and Edmonds — relies on display coolers, deli cases, and back-of-house cold storage that can’t afford inconsistent temperatures. We keep those systems compliant and running efficiently.
WAREHOUSING & DISTRIBUTION
Burnaby’s Big Bend district has become one of Metro Vancouver’s most active logistics and cold-chain hubs. We work with distribution operators and third-party logistics providers on the large-format refrigeration infrastructure that keeps product moving through the supply chain without a break in the cold chain.
STRATA & MIXED-USE BUILDINGS
Proton Mechanical supports strata-managed commercial and mixed-use properties across Burnaby, coordinating with property managers to service refrigeration for grocery tenants, restaurants, and shared commercial amenities — with scheduling that keeps disruption to other tenants to a minimum.
HOSPITALITY & CATERING
Hotels, event venues, and catering operations across Burnaby depend on refrigeration performing across multiple kitchen, bar, and storage areas at once. We build service plans that work around your event calendar rather than against it.
Whatever sector you operate in, Proton Mechanical helps protect your product, your compliance, and your bottom line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle large-scale industrial refrigeration systems in Burnaby's Big Bend industrial area?
Yes. We work with the blast freezers, process chillers, glycol systems, and cold storage infrastructure common to Big Bend’s distribution and food manufacturing operations. We design, install, and maintain these systems to full operational and regulatory standards.
Can you respond to emergency calls anywhere in Burnaby?
Yes — we cover all of Burnaby, including Big Bend, Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, Still Creek, and Lougheed. Our team is available 24/7, and we prioritize getting a technician on-site the same day in most cases.
How often should our commercial refrigeration equipment be serviced?
Two scheduled maintenance visits per year is a reasonable baseline for most commercial operations. High-use environments — food processing, large-format warehousing, high-volume kitchens — typically benefit from more frequent service. We’ll assess your systems and workload and recommend a schedule that actually fits.
Do you work with strata-managed or multi-tenant commercial buildings?
Yes. We coordinate directly with property managers and strata councils to service refrigeration for commercial tenants — grocery, restaurant, and retail — while keeping disruption to other tenants to a minimum.
Are your technicians certified for BC's refrigerant regulations?
Yes. All of our technicians are certified, and our refrigerant handling, documentation, and disposal practices comply with current federal and BC regulations.
Can you help our facility reduce energy costs on refrigeration?
Yes. We assess your current systems, identify where energy is being lost, and recommend upgrades or operational changes to cut consumption. Depending on the scope, some improvements may qualify for CleanBC or BC Hydro Power Smart incentive funding.
