In a metropolis like Istanbul with 16 million inhabitants, the supply chain for food, pharmaceuticals, flowers, meat, and dairy products cannot survive without a cold chain. Supermarkets, butchers, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, laboratories, and logistics companies all depend on cold rooms, cold storage facilities, dairy units, butcher counters, ice houses, and ice machine systems. A single cold room malfunction can lead to thousands of liras worth of product loss and erode customer trust.
Our goal at istanbulsogutmaservis is to provide 24/7 refrigeration services in all 39 districts and over 500 neighborhoods of Istanbul, ensuring uninterrupted cold chain operations for your business.

As cold room manufacturers, we provide not only installation but also annual maintenance, gas refilling, automation, and cold room repair services.
Our emergency response teams are located on both sides of Istanbul. Below are the neighborhoods with the highest demand and the services we offer:
Şişli is one of the districts with the highest demand for refrigeration services due to its high concentration of hotels, hospitals, and shopping malls.

In Osmanbey, we also resolve humidity problems in textile warehouses in case of cold storage malfunctions.

We provide refrigeration services in Kadıköy, the heart of the Anatolian side of Istanbul, serving butcher shops, delicatessens, and bakeries. In Bostancı, cold storage malfunctions are most often caused by compressor burnout during the summer. For cafes in Moda, under-counter dairy cooler repairs are resolved the same day. Our cold room service in Ataşehir caters to the canteen storage areas of office buildings.
This area, which houses wholesale food and textile warehouses, has the highest demand for cold storage services. Merter refrigeration services are critical for textile dehumidification chambers, while Yeşilköy cold room repairs are essential for airport catering companies.

80% of cold storage malfunctions are due to lack of maintenance. Here are the 8 most common problems according to our field experience:
Not cooling or cooling slowly. Reasons: Gas leak, dirty condenser, faulty fan motor. Solution: Leak detection, R404A/R452A gas refill, condenser coil cleaning. Our cold room service team performs superheat control using a digital manifold.
Excessive Snow and Icing Reasons: Door seal is torn, defrost heating element is faulty, drain is clogged. Solution: Door seal replacement, defrost time adjustment, freezer servicing, and pan heater check.
The compressor is not engaging. Reasons: Contactor burn, thermal overload, switchboard malfunction. Solution: The cooling service's electrical team will overhaul the panel and install a phase protection relay.
Milk Processor Problem: Products are Turning Sour Reason: The fan stopped when the temperature rose above +8°C. Solution: NTC sensor calibration and digital thermostat replacement via milk cooler service.
Butcher Shop Display Case Problem: Window Condensation Reason: Heating element failure, high humidity. Solution: Replacement of the heating element and desiccant silica between the double-glazed windows in the butcher's counter area.
Ice Machine Problem: Not Making Ice or Producing Odor Reason: No water purification system, solenoid valve malfunction. Solution: Our ice machine repair team will perform descaling and install a UV filter.
High Electricity Bill Reasons: Poor insulation, door constantly open, compressor too big/too small. Solution: Cold storage service including heat gain calculation, PVC strip curtain, and LED conversion.
EE, E1, H1 Error on Digital Display Reason: Sensor is broken, high pressure. Solution: Specific intervention for the cold room service fault code, pressure switch adjustment.
The most common mistake we see as cold storage specialists is: "I had a room built cheaply, and it became junk in 6 months." Proper project planning consists of 5 steps:
Survey and Needs Analysis: Product type, daily input kg, target temperature, ambient temperature. Our Zeytinburnu cold storage service team will conduct a free survey using a laser meter.
Panel and Door Selection: 80mm lockable panel for +4°C, 120mm for -18°C, 150-200mm for -40°C shock absorption. Decision between sliding door and swing door.
Equipment Selection: Room volume in m³, heat gain, and how many times the door is opened per day. Based on these factors, we choose a monoblock, split, or central system. As a cooling service in Istanbul, we use Danfoss, Bitzer, and Copeland.
Floor Insulation: XPS + screed + PVC to prevent thermal bridging in rooms below -18°C. 30% of cold storage malfunctions originate from the floor.
Automation and Monitoring: HACCP-compliant Wi-Fi thermometer, SMS alarm. 24/7 remote monitoring is established with the Şişli cooling service.
Cold storage service isn't only called upon when something breaks down. Maintenance performed every three months prevents 90% of malfunctions.
Maintenance Checklist:
Condenser and evaporator fin cleaning.
Gas pressure and oil level check
Door seal, hinge, and lock check.
Defrost, drain line and pan heater test.
Electrical panel, thermal switch, contactor tightness.
Digital thermostat calibration
Cleaning the interior of the dairy counter, butcher's counter, and ice machine.
Levent Refrigeration Service offers our customers who have a Maintenance Agreement a 20% discount on parts + priority service.
Electricity costs are a burden for every business in Istanbul. Here are 7 cost-saving methods we apply during cold storage service:
EC Fan Motor: Replace your old AC fans with EC fans that consume 70% less power.
LED Lighting: Eliminate fluorescent lighting; heat load is reduced.
Strip Curtains and High-Speed Doors: Reduces door open time by 80%. Merter cooling service installs PVC strip curtains.
Proper Defrosting: Only as much as needed. Unnecessary defrosting wastes the 8 kW heating element.
Condenser Shading: The unit on the roof experiences temperatures up to 60°C in summer. Shading + water spray increases the COP (Coefficient of Performance).
Door Alarm: Audible warning if left open for more than 2 minutes. Kadıköy cooling service installs smart locks.
Heat Recovery: Heating domestic water using condenser waste heat. Ideal for hotels.
Butcher and Delicatessen: Butcher counter service with insulated glass display cases, meat hanging rail system, bone saw room. Our Kasımpaşa cold room repair teams install UV-free lighting to prevent meat from darkening.
Milk and Dairy Products: Milk cooler service with stable temperature of +4°C and recorded data logger. If a milk cooler malfunction is not addressed within 1 hour, yeast loss will begin. Üsküdar cooling service operates with a night-shift team.
Cold Storage and Blast Freezing: -40°C blast freezing tunnel, -25°C storage. Cold storage service checks the floor anti-freeze resistance. A malfunction in the Bayrampaşa cold storage facility is critical for the fish market.
Ice Machine: Cube, snow, flake, gourmet ice. Ice machine for cafes and fishmongers; malfunctions occur without water purification systems. Beşiktaş cooling service performs RO device integration.
