FAQ
Questions drivers ask before dispatch
Straight answers help avoid the wrong truck, wrong refrigerant, or wrong tool showing up.
Do you work on Thermo King TriPac units?
Yes. Call with the model, symptoms, and truck location so dispatch can route the right APU technician.
Can you fix a Thermo King APU that was overcharged?
We can recover and evaluate the system. Overcharge, air in the system, or moisture can cause high pressure and poor cooling.
