Precision cooling. Trusted reliability. Built for business.

Commercial refrigeration contractor since 1969.

In foodservice, grocery, healthcare, and warehousing, refrigeration is mission-critical infrastructure. Lost product, spoiled inventory, and rushed emergency calls eat margins fast. For 56 years, Fraser Valley operators have trusted Alpine to design, install, and maintain the refrigeration systems their business runs on.

Whether you're cooling a walk-in cooler at a Chilliwack grocery, a -30°F blast freezer at a food processor, or an engineered cold-storage warehouse, we build refrigeration that doesn't quit.

56 years in the Fraser Valley

From corner grocers to dairy processors, breweries, and regional cold-storage operators - we've designed and serviced commercial refrigeration across every kind of facility in the Valley. Our longevity isn't just about experience, it's evolution: from CFC-based legacy gear to today's low-GWP, variable-speed, CO₂ and inverter-driven systems.

Licensed & insured

All three trade tickets, $5M coverage

Our refrigeration license (LBP0001017) certifies us to service everything from walk-in freezers and blast chillers to large-scale ammonia and CO₂ systems. Gas (LGA0103126) for natural gas and propane integration. Boiler (LBP0204397) for hot-gas and hydronic heat-recovery. Plus $5M liability insurance and full WorkSafeBC coverage on every job, every time.

$2M+ ready inventory

Less waiting for parts

Over $2 million in ready-to-go parts inventory across our service fleet and Chilliwack warehouse - meaning we complete most commercial refrigeration repairs on the first visit.

Chilliwack, BC · Since 1969

The mountain on our wall.
The standard in our work.

Freshly painted across our Chilliwack shop, the mural is a new Fraser Valley landmark, and a fitting one. Local artist Jack Hendsbee brought the mountain to life, and it will feature in the Chilliwack Mural Festival. The peak has been our namesake since 1969, and it is the standard we bring to every install, service call, and 2 AM emergency. We back the local community the way it has backed us.
