Claim This BusinessUnited Refrigeration Inc. has served the Asheville wholesale market since 1981, operating as a distributor supplying refrigeration and HVAC equipment to licensed contractors across Western North Carolina. The company holds an active state wholesale license and maintains a 4.4-star average rating drawn from nine verified buyer reviews. Based at 1076 Tunnel Road in Asheville, the business ships products daily to contractors serving Buncombe County, Hendersonville, Weaverville, and the surrounding mountain communities. Dennis oversees operations, with long-tenured staff including sales associate Brett (known as Bubba) who handles will-call orders and technical consultations.
The company distinguishes itself through an extensive brand portfolio spanning commercial refrigeration, residential heating and cooling, and specialty ice machine systems. United Refrigeration distributes major lines including Copeland compressors, Tecumseh condensing units, and Walk-In cooler packages from manufacturers like True Manufacturing and Traulsen. The warehouse stocks hard-to-find replacement components including Bristol, Embraco, and Bitzer compressors alongside motorized assemblies and refrigerant supplies. Contractors benefit from same-day will-call pickup and next-day regional delivery, with technical product support available during business hours.
Customer feedback highlights specific technicians by name. Ray Buchanan awarded five stars noting Dennis and his team maintain courtesy and professionalism on every order. James Chandler praised staff knowledge, calling the location essential for all heating and cooling purchases. Daniel H. specifically mentioned helpful product guidance for a custom refrigeration build. One two-star review cited personality concerns with ownership, representing the sole critical voice among seven total responses.
Six of seven reviewers awarded four or five stars, with four specifically naming staff members (Dennis, Brett/Bubba, Daniel) as reasons to return. Positive reviews emphasize product knowledge and professional conduct. The single two-star critique referenced management style rather than product quality or delivery reliability.
