Great service, fair pricing, experienced technicians, and most of all, genuinely personable people. My experience was excellent from start to finish—from the, “all hats wearing” Barbara who answered my call to the business owner, who personally wanted to understand the problem when I explained that I needed same-day service. I called at 3:00 on a Friday afternoon, and somehow they made the stars align and had my tenants cooled down by 6:00 that same evening. What really stood out was the pricing. I had already dealt with one of the big-name companies, and they wanted over three times as much money for the same repair. It was a great reminder that bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Here, I received experienced technicians, excellent service, and a fair price without feeling like I was paying for a giant company’s advertising budget. It’s refreshing to call a business, speak with an actual person, and get answers to your questions right then and there. That level of service, combined with their experience and fair pricing, made my decision easy: I’ll be using them for all of my properties going forward. Thank you, Michael and Barbara, for being there when my tenants needed you. You’ve earned a loyal customer.

I’ve used Burlett Refrigeration at our business for over 10 years, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. We lease our ice machines through them, and they service every piece of refrigeration equipment we have—from a 30-ton unit and walk-in coolers all the way down to kegerators. In all that time, I don’t think I’ve ever asked them to fix something they couldn’t handle. They’re always on time, always professional, and most importantly, they’re honest. They get the job done right and always seem to find the most practical and cost-effective solution rather than trying to sell you something you don’t need. I trust them enough that I also use Burlett for all of the AC maintenance and repairs at my home. After more than a decade of working with them, they’ve earned that trust over and over again. 10 out of 10. Great company, great people, and absolutely my first call for anything HVAC or refrigeration.

Was previously using a different commercial fridge repair company that I ended up not being pleased with - called Burlett - they came out the next day and repaired our equipment quickly & at a reasonable price !! Will be using them going forward for any future repairs.

We have an extension on our house that didn’t get quite as cold as the rest of the home during the summer. With 8ft ceilings, I wasn’t looking forward to a bulky mini-split unit hanging on the wall. Michael showed me a range of Mitsubishi ceiling flush options that would blend in, and that is what we went with. Everyone from Ms. Barbara in the office to the installation crew, Michael, Danny, Josh, and Johnathan was professional and knowledgeable. They completed the entire installation in a day and left no mess. They went above and beyond, more than any of the other “major” AC players in the area have ever done for me. They will have my business until they no longer want it.

They take your money every month and pocket it. They do not have any back up equipment to help you in a crisis. Businesses that use ice machines do not use this company. Waste of money. No safeguards!

5 Stars – Exceptional Service from a Truly Caring Family Business Burlett Refrigeration is a family-owned business that truly goes above and beyond for their customers. Michael and his dad took the time to personally meet with us, understand our specific needs, and deliver exactly what we were looking for. They installed a brand-new walk-in cooler refrigeration unit in just one day — a fast and flawless job. What really stood out was their dedication. They didn’t just install the unit; they went the extra mile — literally — by driving to Baton Rouge in the rain to pick up the exact unit we needed so it could be installed the very next day. That level of commitment and customer care is rare these days. Highly recommended — 5 stars all the way!

Burlett Refrigeration has been servicing and maintaining my air conditioners for nearly 30 years. I originally employed them to service my rental properties and they have performed exceptionally! Tenants can be difficult at times and the technicians at Burlett are always on time and very professional. They are extremely knowledgeable and resolve issues quickly and efficiently. I mistakenly used another company on one occasion and regretted it immensely! I contacted Burlett and they came out immediately; explained the mistake that the other companies technician made, and they resolved the problem at a fraction of the cost. Burlett Refrigeration is the company that competitor air conditioner companies call when they have a problems they can't resolve.

I recently had two ice machine installs and residential HVAC work done by Burlett Refrigeration and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. From the initial consultation to the completion of the job, the crew was efficient, knowledgeable, and courteous. Burlett responded to my service request promptly and communication was a breeze. They arrived on time when they said they would, worked diligently to get the job done quickly, and left the work area clean and tidy. The quality of their work was top-notch and I am extremely satisfied with the results. The technicians were friendly and took the time to explain everything to me in detail, making sure I understood the work that was being done. I highly recommend Burlett Refrigeration for any HVAC or refrigeration needs. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets them apart from other companies. I will definitely be using them again for any future HVAC needs and will be referring them to all of my friends and family. Thank you for a job well done!

Burlett Refrigeration is a great company that I highly recommend. I had Burlett Refrigeration install a new air condition system in my primary residence. I was very impressed with the amount of service and dedication the crew showed to ensure my replacement went smooth and met my high level of expectations. Prior to deciding on a product, all the options were thoroughly discussed in detail to ensure I was receiving the unit that best fit my needs. On the day of the installation, the technicians were very professional and ensured the installation was immaculate. After unboxing the inside unit, it was discovered that the brand-new equipment had a substantial amount of damage. The technicians immediately called their suppliers who timely delivered a replacement while they continued the installation process to ensure the system was not offline longer than required due to the defective item. In the end, I received a very nice updated central AC that has been saving me money due to its high energy efficiency and keeping me very cold due to my girlfriend’s aggressive temperature settings.
