Built on one simple idea: tell people the truth about their equipment
Brendan McDonagh started in the refrigeration trade in 1987 and founded BM Refrigeration Services in 2002. Since then the business has looked after coolrooms, freezer rooms, keg rooms, ice machines and display fridges for venues across Sydney and NSW.
What has not changed is how we work. A licensed technician finds the fault, explains it in plain English, fixes what can be fixed on the spot and quotes anything major before it goes ahead. If a unit is not worth repairing, we say so and price the replacement side by side.
A system, not a scramble
Every job runs through the same process, so the service you get does not depend on who turns up.
Every job documented
Jobs are scheduled and recorded in our job management system, with photos, notes and service forms. Clients can get a full asset register for their site.
Refrigerant handled properly
An ARC-licensed business. Refrigerant is weighed in on scales, and cylinder weights are recorded before and after every job.
Ready for the HFC phase-down
We move clients from R404A to lower-impact refrigerants such as R448A and R449A, in line with Australia’s HFC phase-down.
Breakdowns don’t wait
Our 1300 line is answered 24/7, and genuine coolroom, freezer and beer-system emergencies go straight to the on-call technician.
Our values
People and safety first
Safe work methods, inductions and licensed technicians on every job.
Care for the environment
Leaks found and fixed, refrigerant recovered and recorded, lower-impact gases where it makes sense.
Integrity
Clear prices, honest advice and no repairs you do not need.
Skills and knowledge
Ongoing training in new refrigerants, controls and monitoring technology.
An entrepreneurial spirit
Better ways of working, like Frigbot monitoring and Certainty Plans, built from what clients actually need.
Where we work
Sydney, Parramatta, Blacktown, Penrith, the Hawkesbury and the Blue Mountains, and across NSW for larger projects.

Registered with Rapid Contractor Management, Cm3 and Workplace Clearance Group for organisations that require contractor prequalification.
