Chernin HVAC & Refrigeration L.L.C.

Walk-in coolers are where Chernin HVAC & Refrigeration stands apart in its reviews: four reviews describe Eli and his team repairing or replacing a broken walk-in cooler or refrigerator, alongside home heating and air conditioning work. The Waterbury, Connecticut company holds 5 stars from 126 ratings on Google, 5.0 from 11 ratings on both Angi and HomeAdvisor, and an A+ from BBB, and says it has been in business 14 years. The state registry lists Connecticut hvac licence HTG.0409691-S1 as active, held by Eliezer G Chernin. An August 2025 restaurant customer said Eli replaced an entire walk-in cooler unit within 3 days and came by every day to put gas into the old one so the food would not be lost. An August 2025 general manager said Eli and his son repaired a walk-in cooler storing $100K worth of product the same day. A December 2024 restaurant customer said other repair guys called for a new compressor, and Chernin repaired the walk-in refrigerator without one. A September 2023 customer said the company was one of the only ones in the area certified to work with R290 and came out three times to replace a youth football program's commercial refrigerator compressor. On the residential side, a September 2025 homeowner had two units installed, one in the basement and one in the attic, in a single day. A December 2024 customer with a sparking gas boiler said Eli fixed the four problems a simple repair turned up that same day, at a reasonable price. A May 2026 customer said Eli and Joseph came out the same day for a spring a/c tune up. A July 2026 5-star Google review said the price was considerably higher than expected, because of the cost of freon.
