Quick answer: Freeze Please designs and installs cool rooms for restaurants, cafes, butchers, retailers and warehouses across South East Melbourne. We size the refrigeration to your products, door traffic and space, so the room holds its temperature reliably. That's typically between 0°C and 5°C for chilled food storage.
Planning your cool room
- Products and temperature: what you’ll store and the temperature it needs.
- Size and layout: shelving, access and room to move stock.
- Location: indoors or outdoors, and the space available for the refrigeration unit.
- Door and traffic: how often the door is opened, and whether strip curtains are needed.
- Power supply: what’s available on site.
- Condensing unit placement: airflow, noise, heat rejection and service access.
Food safety temperatures
Under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, potentially hazardous food must be stored at 5°C or below. A correctly sized cool room keeps food within that limit, even during busy service with frequent door openings.
Our installation process
- Site measure and design.
- Installation of the insulated panels and door.
- Installation of the refrigeration equipment: evaporator, condensing unit and controls.
- Pressure testing, evacuation and refrigerant charging.
- Commissioning: bringing the room down to temperature and setting the controller.
- Handover, with maintenance recommendations.
Temperature monitoring and alarms can be added so you know straight away if the room warms up.
Keeping your cool room reliable
Regular refrigeration servicing keeps the condenser clean, the door seals tight and the controls accurate. Most cool room breakdowns can be traced back to missed maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a cool room and a freezer room?
A cool room stores chilled goods, typically between 0°C and 5°C. A freezer room stores frozen goods at around -18°C or colder, and needs thicker insulation, door heaters and a defrost system.
Can a cool room be installed outdoors?
Yes, with weather-protected panels, a suitable roof and a correctly positioned refrigeration unit.
Do I need a permit for a cool room?
Requirements vary by site and council. Check with your local council or building surveyor, particularly for outdoor or larger installations.
