The Wichman Company

The Wichman Company has operated from 7 North Westwood in Toledo since 1968, making it one of the older HVAC and refrigeration contractors in Northwest Ohio. The business holds a 4.1-star rating across 22 verified reviews, and while it primarily serves commercial clients including restaurants and industrial facilities, its service area extends throughout Lucas County and surrounding communities. The company employs a team of service technicians who handle both heating and cooling equipment, with capabilities spanning ice machines, chillers, boilers, and custom make-up air systems.

What distinguishes The Wichman Company is its dual focus on commercial food equipment and industrial HVAC systems, a combination few Toledo contractors offer. The business operates Arlington Commercial Supply as a parts distribution arm, giving them direct access to components for Espresso Machines, Combi Units, and specialized warewashing equipment that other-area technicians must special-order. Their service menu includes installation, Preventative Maintenance, repair, and calibration across all equipment categories, with a stated commitment to responsive turnaround on service calls.

Restaurant owners account for the majority of positive reviews. Chris S, who manages multiple restaurants, specifically praises the technicians for arriving quickly with parts in hand during equipment emergencies. One reviewer notes the team serviced an oven for a prior owner, though a subsequent customer experience revealed gaps in warranty communication that led to unexpected charges. The reviews consistently mention polite, knowledgeable technicians while citing occasional issues with how service guarantees and follow-up costs are communicated.
