Ice Refrigeration

What Ice Refrigeration does

Ice Refrigeration (I.C.E. Refrigeration) is a privately held commercial refrigeration equipment provider operating a direct-to-consumer distribution model through its website at i-c-e-refrigeration.com. The firm sells Manitowoc ice makers (QM, QY, and SY series), compatible ice storage bins (S and F series), and INSURICE water filtration systems, supplemented by a custom walk-in cooler and freezer product line built to any size specification for indoor, outdoor, or warehouse installation. The company also stocks replacement parts for multiple ice maker brands including Hoshizaki, Ice-O-Matic, Scotsman, and Crystal Tips, and offers pre-owned equipment with a 30-day warranty. Its operations are certified to ISO 9001 quality standards and its water filtration products carry NSF certification.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time equipment sales transacted via website order forms and phone contact, with prices ranging from $96 for water filter replacement cartridges to over $2,341 for large capacity ice bins. Walk-in cooler and freezer units carry a 10-year limited panel warranty, 5-year metal finishes warranty, and 5-year refrigeration system warranty, while new ice makers come with multi-year parts and labor coverage. Freight is arranged at $60 per 100 lbs for ice makers, and payment is required prior to shipment. The company provides custom design consultation to assist buyers in equipment sizing and configuration, functioning as a value-added distributor rather than an OEM.

Ice Refrigeration is staffed by approximately 6 employees and operates primarily from the California Bay Area based on its 408 area code contact number, though firmographics list Phoenix, Arizona as its city. Its customer base spans commercial and industrial buyers requiring cold storage, ice production, and under-counter cooling solutions, with no disclosed named enterprise customers or institutional investors. The business shows no evidence of external funding, acquisitions, or technology investments beyond its core product distribution activity.
