Walk-In Freezers
Built for Toronto's
Commercial Kitchens.

Standard walk-in freezers operate from -10°F to 0°F — the typical range for commercial frozen storage of meat, prepared foods, and ice cream. For deeper applications we build to -20°F for hard-pack ice cream and specialty frozen goods, or to -40°F for blast freezer rooms and cannabis trim storage.

Every refrigeration package is sized to the target temperature and your actual product load — undersized compressors are the most common reason freezers struggle to hold temperature on hot Toronto summer days.

Coolers hold product at 35–40°F for fresh storage — produce, dairy, prepared food. Freezers hold at 0°F or below for frozen product.

Beyond just temperature, freezers need 5-inch insulated panels (vs 4" for coolers), heated door frames to prevent freeze-shut, electric floor heating to prevent frost heave in the slab below, and electric defrost cycles to clear frost from the evaporator coil. The refrigeration package also runs significantly larger tonnage. All of this is why a walk-in freezer typically costs 20–40% more than an equivalent-sized cooler.

Yes — combo cooler/freezer builds are one of our most common projects for Toronto restaurants. A single walk-in box is divided by an internal insulated wall, with the two chambers sharing external panels, structural framing, and often a common doorway vestibule.

Combos are more space-efficient than two standalone units, typically cost less than two separate builds, and share a single electrical and refrigeration infrastructure footprint. We size the two chambers to your actual prep and storage workflow — not a one-size-fits-all split.

Commercial walk-in freezers sit on concrete, and without floor heating the sub-zero temperature eventually freezes ground moisture below the slab — causing the floor to heave and crack, often damaging the freezer structure and requiring a full rebuild.

Every Titan freezer includes electric heat tape laid under insulated floor panels to maintain a stable sub-floor temperature. On forklift-rated installs we spec heavier-duty heat tape and thicker insulation to match the structural load.

Walk-in freezers generally cost 20–40% more than equivalently-sized coolers, due to thicker panels, heated components, larger refrigeration packages, and floor heating. Rough guidance for Toronto installs:

Standard 6×8 freezer: typically starts in the mid-five-figure range, turnkey installed.

10×12 cooler/freezer combo: mid-to-high-five-figure range, turnkey.

Blast freezer or warehouse-scale builds: priced individually based on load, volume, and zoning.

Every Titan quote itemizes every component — no vague "refrigeration package" line items.

Yes — blast freezer rooms for quick-freeze production are a regular part of our food processing project work. Blast freezers run -30°F to -40°F with high-volume air circulation and heavier compressor tonnage, designed to pull product from ambient to frozen quickly and safely.

Common applications in Toronto: meat and seafood processors, prepared meal manufacturers, bakery product blast-chilling, and ice cream hardening rooms. We build blast freezers as standalone units or as a zone within a larger production freezer layout.

Yes — dedicated ice cream and gelato freezer builds are a regular request from Toronto parlours, commissary kitchens, and specialty grocers. Ice cream typically stores at -10°F to -20°F for proper hardness, with heavy-duty defrost cycles to manage the high humidity that comes with frequent product transfer.

We build glass-door display freezers for retail floors, cold-plate storage rooms for back-of-house, and combo production/storage builds depending on your operation. We can also spec dedicated hardening rooms for commissary-scale ice cream production.

Freezer failures are priority emergencies — inventory loss compounds every hour the temperature rises, and for high-value product (meat, seafood, cannabis trim) a four-hour response can mean five figures of spoiled inventory.

Our technicians are typically dispatched within 60–90 minutes of a call, 24 hours a day, from our Mississauga HQ. We service all major refrigeration brands including Heatcraft, Bohn, Hussmann, Kysor, Tyler, and Manitowoc, with same-day parts availability on common freezer components.
