Process cooling, comfort cooling and plumbing for industrial facilities, installed and serviced by specialists.
Rice Brothers’ licensed plumbers and HVAC specialists give food and beverage clients and other industrial facilities systems that are up to code and suit the needs of their workforce. That covers the comfort cooling that keeps a plant habitable and the process refrigeration that keeps product safe.
Industrial refrigeration is a specialty of its own. Ammonia systems, multi-stage centrifugal chillers and cascade systems need people who’ve worked on them before. Our team services the major OEM equipment, so you don’t need a different contractor for every brand in your mechanical room.
For mechanical and refrigeration work in the United States, see our sister company Rice Brothers Mechanical. In Canada, the work is managed from Calgary and delivered wherever your facility is.
From rooftop units to low-temperature process systems.
Process ammonia, cold storage and chilled water for processing plants.
Cooling tuned to server hall temperature and humidity on our data center projects.
Process chillers, gas compression and comfort cooling for chemical, manufacturing and energy facilities.
In a food plant, a data center or a process facility, a refrigeration failure isn’t an inconvenience. It can mean lost product, lost uptime and safety risks. That’s why we approach HVAC and refrigeration as critical infrastructure, with careful installation, thorough commissioning and maintenance that catches problems before they become shutdowns.
Our specialists work across equipment types and brands, from process ammonia chillers and multi-stage centrifugal systems to cooling towers and unitary comfort cooling. That breadth means one contractor can support most of the mechanical room instead of a different vendor for every system.
Whether you’re adding refrigeration capacity for a plant expansion, replacing aging chillers or repairing a cooling tower, we’ll scope the work, plan it around your operations and deliver it safely.
Planned maintenance on chillers and refrigeration systems also keeps energy costs down and extends the life of expensive equipment. We can set up a service schedule that matches your plant’s operating seasons.
