Dealing With Ice Machines Since 1991

The owner of Marathon Air started on a different side of this business.  In 1991, he was both a restaurant owner, and the owner of a small restaurant equipment store in Apopka.  For his store customers, John sold and installed all types of commercial refrigeration equipment, including ice machines.  That work include installing entire refrigeration systems “from the ground up” for many different businesses especially large restaurants. Around the year 2000, John became an HVAC contractor, left his family business, and switched completely to the installation, service & repair side of the restaurant equipment business (his family continues to operate the restaurant equipment sales business, and they sold the restaurant).  He opened Marathon Air (now Snow, Ice & Air), which focused on commercial cooling of all types, including ice machine repair, refrigeration & HVAC.  He is now a true expert who repairs all types & sizes of ice machines, refrigeration equipment & commercial HVAC systems.  These have included installations that started on paper, from the ground up, for large commercial establishments.

All Shapes and Sizes of Ice Machines

We have repaired and installed all brands of ice machines for many years.  This includes some of the largest commercial units, down to smaller commercial units in restaurants.  We very often repair ice machines for many of our regular restaurant and convenience store customers.

Full-Service Commercial A/C and Refrigeration Services, Too

We also fully service all commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.  The owner is a licensed HVAC contractor with a long list of commercial customers, including a long list of well known local restaurants and other businesses.  We only formed this smaller site for ice machine repair because there seemed to be a specific need for this particular service.  We do everything else involving cooling, too.

Where We Work

Marathon Air works in all parts of Orlando and surrounding cities.  This includes Clermont, Winter Garden, Ocoee, Apopka, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Winter Park, Maitland, Casselberry, Oviedo, Altamonte Springs, Mount Dora, Kissimmee and everywhere in between.

Fair Pricing on Ice Machine Repairs & Installs

The good news for his customers is we are honest, reliable, and fair. Plus, John is an expert at repairing refrigeration & HVAC equipment, like ice machines, walk-in and display coolers and freezers, and commercial air conditioners. So he will not suggest a replacement of any of that stuff unless you really need it.  In short, if you need your commercial ice machine or ice maker repaired, calling us is a good idea.
