United Refrigeration Inc.

United Refrigeration Inc. has anchored its presence in Peoria, Illinois since 1974, building a reputation over nearly five decades as a go-to supply hub for HVAC and refrigeration professionals across Central Illinois. The wholesaler holds a 4.5-star average drawn from 17 verified customer reviews, and operates Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Though the category classifies United Refrigeration as a wholesaler rather than a contractor, the catalog suggests a customer base spanning both commercial refrigeration technicians and residential HVAC installers. The phone number (309) 674-9245 connects callers directly to the Peoria branch, where staff field inquiries from contractors sourcing parts for service calls and homeowners hunting discontinued components for aging systems.

The breadth of inventory sets this wholesaler apart in a market where competitors often special-order critical parts and leave customers waiting days. United Refrigeration stocks equipment and components across refrigeration, air conditioning, and heating categories, carrying major brands including Copeland, Tecumseh, Trenton, and Bohn. The website lists thousands of line items ranging from condenser units and evaporators to compressors, motors, and indoor air quality products such as filters, air purifiers, and dehumidifiers. For food service customers, the catalog extends to commercial refrigeration cases, ice machines, and walk-in coolers. Reviewers who took the time to detail their experiences consistently praised not just the depth of stock, but the knowledge of staff members who guided them toward correct part numbers on first contact.

Thomas Parker awarded five stars specifically to commend an "extremely knowledgeable staff," while Elaine Bacon echoed the sentiment after staff located a part unavailable elsewhere. Nghich Lan called on a first visit seeking a component for an older furnace model and found it in stock at a price matching online rates, thanking the team by name. Fred K. summed up the consensus in three words: "they got it all." Not every reviewer left satisfied; JJ Stoecker deducted stars over a pricing markup on an ignitor and pointed to a masking-policy lapse during a service visit. Still, the pattern across seven of eight visible reviews points to a team that delivers on availability and expertise even when the search involves legacy equipment other suppliers have delisted.
