Your Equipment Tells a Story.
We Read It Before It Fails.
LineTemp serves Chicago-area restaurants with refrigeration, glycol, and draft system expertise. We document what you have, measure what matters, and keep your cold chain stable so you can focus on service.
The Stabilization Visit
Before we do anything else, we need to know what you have. Our first visit establishes a baseline: every unit documented, every temperature recorded, every risk identified.

- ✓ Pass / Monitor / Service classification
- ✓ Written summary within 24 hours
Most Failures Are Not Surprises
They are slow-motion problems that nobody measured until they became emergencies.
Dirty Condensers
If your condenser sits on the floor behind the line, it is breathing grease and dust. Restricted airflow means higher head pressure and shorter compressor life.
Warm Reach-Ins
A reach-in running at 45°F wrecks prep timing and puts you one health inspector visit away from a citation.
Low Glycol
When glycol drops, your draft lines warm up and foam increases. Bartenders over-pour to compensate. Every pint costs you money.
Unknown Equipment
Inherited equipment with mystery repairs is a time bomb. When it fails, you pay for diagnostics twice.
Prepared Clients Get Priority
When you are on our roster, we already have your system documented. When something breaks, we are not starting from zero. We know what you have, what we have done before, and what is likely to fail next.
New calls get scheduled when we have capacity. Existing clients get priority because we already know your system and can move faster.
