RC has been knowledgeable, fair, timely, and easy to deal with. We have old units and have used him on multiple occasions. We highly recommend him for your AC needs.
RC is very knowledgeable about the AC business. He assisted us with an intermittent issue that was challenging to diagnose. Not only did he identify the failing component, but he also thoroughly checked the entire system. His attention to detail and expertise are impressive. Additionally, RC is very friendly. If you need regular maintenance, repairs, or a new system, be sure to give him a call!
Usually I am reticent to have my name online giving recommendations. But let me tell you that this is no ordinary recommendation. RC Richardson is a man of his word. He is truthful, professional, punctual and he knows his stuff. He might be one of the best we’ve encountered in East Texas. He’s also humble…which is so rare to find these days. I feel that he could have tried to sell us a new unit. He could have charged so much. Instead, he was reasonable and very fair. He was at our home within one hour of me calling. That is also unheard of and especially for someone with his knowledge and skillset. What he brings to the table is integrity and years of hard work and experience. I cannot recommend RC Richardson enough. We will be telling all of our friends. When you find someone like him, you keep his number and call him yearly to come clean your AC unit and do a yearly check. It is so worth it. I hate to share this amazing company too much because I know he will get even busier. But when you find a company like RC’s, you feel selfish to not tell your friends and family. Word of mouth is the only way I do business. And RC Richardson stands by his name and his work.
10/10 would recommend !! Fixed our AC unit within the matter of 20 - 25 mins . Super friendly and very professional! This man surely knows what he is doing !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My AC went out on Friday night, first thing Saturday I looked up AC repair business and found that RC's AC Reliable Climate was the only company that had 5 stars and was opened 24 hours. At 7:01 I called RC and was surprised he answered, I told him of my problem and promptly said that he would be here at 10:00 because of the rain. He arrived at 9:00 and immediately went to work, started my AC working and said now lets see what happened. He found the problem and was able to fix it. I was relieved. RC is courteous, very friendly and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely refer his company to anyone who asks for AC repair and I hopefully will become a loyal customer. I did ask to be put on his annual rotation for yearly inspections. It is nice to find a company with a heart.
RC (Royce) knows the AC business. He helped us with an intermittent issue that was difficult to find. He checked the entire system even after finding the failing component. All this to say he is thorough and knowledgeable. Add to that RC is very friendly. Give him a shout when you need regular maintenance, repair, or a new system.
RC is the best and most reliable AC repair guy i have ever had the pleasure to know. Very trustworthy and will not play games or try and over sale a job.
RC, came out immediately on a Sunday spent a few minutes before he found our problem, he came back this morning and got us running quickly, very pleasant and thorough, reasonable, we highly recommend you call if you need AC repair
Awesome guy! Came by my restaurant because it was not cooling enough and got it fix right away !! He did not charge me because it was nothing wrong with it and said it was because someone left the door open too long. Great guy !! 💯 recommend! He is honest and takes pride of his work!!!!! Call him for any needs
I had a new unit installed at my home in Hallsville and couldn't have been more impressed with the quality of the work that was done! R.C. was quick to come out when I needed him to, and even upgraded the wood that the air handler sat on since the old wood was damaged. I highly recommend R.C.'s AC for anything related to HVAC.
Outstanding service! It was just a simple drain clog but he took his time explaining to me what he was doing as well as what I can do to prevent this from happening again. He had no problem answering my questions and giving me some other solutions to help make my system work better and last. We were looking for a reliable small business to help us keep our a/c running well, and I think we found it. We will definitely be using him again in the future.
Fantastic service. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to find a solution.
Royce (RC) is one of the nicest, most honest contractors I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. My grandparents (90 and 97) live in Longview and were without AC for days because American Home Shield gave them the runaround. When I called RC because I was concerned about them being in the heat so long, he immediately sprung to action. He was at their home within minutes, discovered that American Home Shield’s assessment was false, and had their AC working within the hour. I live a long way’s off. My grandfather (97) has respiratory issues, is on oxygen, and has been in and out of the hospital lately. I was so worried about my grandparents; after RC called to tell me he fixed the AC—I cried. He was so compassionate, and informed me how I can hold American Home Shield accountable for what they did (and didn’t do). RC, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, I cannot thank you enough.
Guy knows what he’s doing, great work ethic and great work performed. Thank you RC
R. C. Is passionate about doing a great job, is fair, reasonably priced, and is so knowledgeable and professional. We can wholeheartedly recommend him and use him whenever we need help.
Amazing service. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable! RC was patient with answering my questions and explaining things to me. He showed me how his equipment worked and explained everything he was doing and exactly why it was necessary. Wonderful service all around. We have used him before and will use him again. Highly recommend!!!
I have used R.C. several times and he is always timely and direct. He has not tried to "sell" me on anything, but has been straight forward on his analysis of the situation and attentive to what is important to me and what I consider to be of value.
Had our AC working in no time! Our outdoor unit was not turning on. He found the problem and was able to replace the capacitor that burned out. Great work, great customer service, Highly recommend.
R.C. Was truly amazing. Super honest and treated us very well. Not only did he help us with solutions, but he helped educate up and show us what to look for.
RC came out on a Sunday and got my family out of a bind in the heat! He was very thorough and upfront about what he was doing and why he was doing it! Got us back up and going in no time, RC is as honest as they come! WILL BE USING AGAIN!
On time, good explanations, very professional. It was an great experience. Definitely will recommend his service.
When he came to check my ac, he didn’t just do the bare minimum of what i asked he went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. He was extremely respectful and answered any questions I had without hesitation. If y’all need anything to with your ac or heating make sure to give him a call it wouldn’t be just be a business call , it would feel like a family or friend came and just helped you out.
RC is the best in the business. He texts to confirm the appointment, is always on time, knows the ins and outs of any AC unit. I doubt there is any that he can’t fix. If you want someone dependable, knowledgeable, and just an all around nice guy to work with, he’s your guy.
He was very nice and fast out to service our air-conditioneder. Great prices. Would definitely recommend any time!!
Yesterday my husband and I were stressing out about the affordability of fixing our AC and heater. One company told us it would thousands of dollars and time, and then R.C comes over and it was a huge sigh of relief and fresh of breath air guys. SERIOUSLY!!! He fixed it, without requiring thousands of dollars. He's reliable, friendly, honest, hard working guy. Looking forward to continuing business with. THANK YOU R.C!!!! ~ The Sleight Family
We had a fantastic experience with R.C.’s AC Reliable Climate. R.C. is incredibly responsive, offering prompt service when we needed it most. His pricing is fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or unnecessary upselling. R.C clearly puts customers first and stands behind the products he uses, and services he provides, with genuine care and integrity. Not only did he do an amazing job installing our new unit (inside and out), R. C. also took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all of our questions. R. C. is trustworthy and customer-focused. We will be using R. C. For our HVAC needs for a long time. Highly recommend!
We have used RC for our own home and a rental property several times through the years. We’ve also referred him to family and friends. In each case he has been professional, done exactly what he promised (or more), started and finished on time, and given us excellent prices. That full combination is unheard of now days. I wouldn’t dream of calling anyone else.
You won’t regret calling RC! You can’t match his knowledge and efficiency. His professionalism and thoroughness has Reliable Climate at the top of my list for all my investment properties and home needs. If it can be fixed, he can fix it. As a female, I especially appreciate his transparent pricing and the complete absence of upselling tactics.
You won’t find a more dependable, knowledgeable, and honest service company. RC is the best!
Friendly, fast and very professional service. Affordable prices. RC is the best!
We've used RC for years. He has always gone above and beyond. His service is excellent and his prices are very reasonable.
We needed our air ducts cleaned. CJ did a fantastic job. Excellent work and attention to detail was impeccable. We are super impressed. Thank you!
RC is the most knowledgeable HVAC person you will ever meet. If it’s fixable, he can fix it! Honest and trustworthy and fair prices!
Royce arrived right on time to service my HVAC unit before turning on the heat this fall. He did a thorough inspection and explained exactly what I need to do to keep my old HVAC system running like a top for years to come. I think it takes a special kind of service technician to teach me how to care for my aging system instead of trying to sell me a new one. That's why I would highly recommend R.C.'s AC Reliable Climate to my friends and family.

Most Common Prep Table Refrigeration Questions
Maintaining a prep table is essential for any successful food service operation in the Longview, TX area. We have gathered the most common questions our commercial clients ask about their refrigeration equipment.
A prep table that fails to maintain temperature is often caused by dirty condenser coils. In a kitchen, grease and dust combine to create a thick layer that blocks airflow. When the coils cannot release heat, the compressor must work harder and the cooling fails. You should check the coils and have them professionally cleaned by our team every month. Another common issue is a failing evaporator fan motor that stops circulating cold air for you. This leads to warm spots in the food pans and the storage cabinet below. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the electrical or mechanical fault causing the temperature rise.
Leaking or damaged door gaskets can also prevent your prep table from staying cold today. If the seals are torn, warm kitchen air enters the unit and forces it to run. This creates a heavy frost buildup on the evaporator coils that eventually blocks all cooling for you. We can replace your gaskets and ensure the doors are properly aligned for a tight seal. You should also check that the unit is not overloaded with food products above the fill line. Overloading blocks the air curtain that protects the top pans from the warm room air. Proper loading is essential for maintaining the safety of your perishable ingredients in a kitchen.
Faulty thermostats or digital controllers can also lead to inaccurate temperature management for your unit. If the probe is damaged, it may tell the compressor to shut off too early today. We use specialized equipment to test the calibration of your sensors and the controller settings. Our team can recalibrate or replace these components to restore precise temperature control for your staff. Royce Richardson provides honest advice on whether a repair or a component upgrade is needed. We serve the entire Longview area with prompt and professional commercial refrigeration repair services for you. Trust us to get your prep table back to the correct temperature quickly.
You should clean the condenser coils on your prep table at least once every month. In a high volume kitchen, grease and flour can clog the coils much faster than you think. A clogged coil is the leading cause of compressor failure and high energy bills for businesses. You can use a soft brush or a vacuum to remove the surface dust between visits. However, a professional deep cleaning is necessary to remove the stubborn grease trapped deep in the fins. We include a thorough coil cleaning with every commercial maintenance visit we perform for you. Royce Richardson recommends a consistent cleaning schedule to extend the life of your equipment today.
Neglecting your coils forces the refrigeration system to run at higher pressures and temperatures for long periods. This leads to premature wear on the compressor and increases the likelihood of a major breakdown. You will notice that your unit runs almost constantly when the coils are dirty and inefficient. Regular cleaning restores the heat transfer capacity and allows the system to cycle off correctly for you. This saves you money on your monthly electricity bills and prevents expensive emergency repair calls today. Our technicians can show you the best way to maintain your specific unit between service calls. We are dedicated to helping your Longview business reduce its overhead through better maintenance.
If your prep table is located near a fryer or a grill, the coils will need more. The airborne grease from cooking equipment acts like a magnet for dust and kitchen debris for you. This creates a matted layer that is very difficult to remove without professional grade cleaners. We use safe and effective chemical cleaners that dissolve the grease without damaging the delicate aluminum fins. Proper coil maintenance is a small investment that pays off in long term equipment reliability. Our 5 star service includes a full inspection of the cooling system after every coil cleaning today. Call us to schedule a professional maintenance visit for all your kitchen refrigeration equipment.
Ice formation is usually a sign of restricted airflow or an issue with the defrost cycle. If the evaporator fan is not moving enough air, the coils will get too cold. This causes the moisture in the air to freeze onto the fins and create a block. You should check that the air intake and discharge vents are not blocked by food. A faulty defrost timer or heater can also prevent the system from clearing ice automatically today. Our technicians can test these components to ensure your unit is defrosting correctly for your staff. We can resolve these issues quickly to prevent a total loss of cooling performance.
Damaged door gaskets are another frequent cause of excessive frost and ice buildup in refrigeration units. When warm, humid air leaks into the cold cabinet, it immediately turns into frost on the coils. This ice eventually grows large enough to stop the fan and block the flow of air. You will see ice forming around the door frame or on the back wall of the unit. We can replace your gaskets and ensure that the doors close and seal perfectly today. This prevents the moisture entry that leads to the ice problems you are experiencing in home. Royce Richardson understands the technical details of preventing ice issues in commercial refrigeration systems.
Low refrigerant levels can also cause the evaporator coils to freeze up during operation today. When the pressure is too low, the coil temperature drops below the freezing point of water. This leads to a persistent layer of ice that will eventually shut down the entire cooling process. We use specialized gauges to check your system pressure and identify any leaks in the lines. Our team can repair the leak and recharge the system to the manufacturer’s exact specifications. This ensures that your prep table operates efficiently without the risk of freezing up on you. Trust R.C.’s AC Reliable Climate for expert troubleshooting of all ice and frost issues.
An air curtain is a stream of cold air that flows across the top of the food. It creates a protective barrier that keeps the warm kitchen air away from your ingredients today. This is what allows the top pans to stay at safe temperatures while the lid is open. If the air curtain is disrupted, your food will quickly enter the danger zone for bacteria. This can lead to health code violations and potential foodborne illness for your customers and guests. We ensure that your fans are providing the correct velocity to maintain this vital air curtain. Proper maintenance is the key to keeping this safety feature working correctly for you.
Overloading your food pans is the most common way to disrupt the protective air curtain today. If the pans are filled too high, the air cannot flow over the top of the food. This leaves the surface of your ingredients exposed to the warm air of your kitchen. Our technicians can show your staff the proper fill lines for your specific prep table model. We also check the condition of the pan rails to ensure they are seated correctly. A well maintained air curtain ensures that every pan stays at the required forty one degrees. We are dedicated to helping you maintain the highest standards of food safety and quality.
Dirty or damaged fans can also weaken the air curtain and lead to temperature problems today. If the fan blades are covered in grease, they cannot move air efficiently for your system. We clean and inspect the fan assemblies during every professional maintenance visit for your business. Our team can also replace failing motors that are not spinning at the correct speed for you. Royce Richardson ensures that every part of your refrigeration system is optimized for performance and safety. You can rely on our technical expertise to keep your prep line safe and efficient today. We serve the Longview area with a commitment to providing a 5 star service experience.
No, you should never use a residential refrigerator for commercial food preparation in a restaurant. Residential units are not designed to recover temperature quickly after frequent door openings in a kitchen. They lack the powerful compressors and fan systems required to maintain food safety in high heat. A health inspector will likely cite your business if they find residential equipment in use today. Prep tables are specifically engineered to keep food in open pans cold while you are working. They use specialized airflow designs that a standard home refrigerator simply does not have for you. We recommend investing in professional commercial equipment to protect your business and your customers.
Commercial prep tables are built with heavy duty materials like stainless steel to withstand constant use. Residential units use plastic and thin metals that will quickly fail in a busy kitchen environment. The hinges and gaskets on a commercial unit are designed for hundreds of openings every day. A home refrigerator will likely break down within months if subjected to the same level of stress. Using the wrong equipment can lead to expensive repairs and a much shorter lifespan for the unit. We provide honest recommendations on the best commercial models for your specific kitchen needs today. Royce Richardson is committed to helping you make the right investment for your long term success.
Commercial refrigeration also comes with the correct certifications for food service operations in Longview, TX. Units must meet NSF and UL standards to be used legally in a professional food facility. These standards ensure that the materials are easy to clean and the cooling is reliable today. Residential units do not meet these requirements and can harbor bacteria in their porous surfaces for you. We can help you select a certified prep table that fits your budget and your space. Our professional installation ensures that your new unit is set up correctly from the very first day. Trust us to provide the high quality commercial equipment your business deserves to have.
A loud buzzing noise often indicates a problem with the compressor or the fan motors today. If the compressor is struggling to start, it may create a deep hum or buzz. This could be due to a failed start capacitor or an internal mechanical failure for you. You should call for a professional inspection immediately to prevent a total compressor burnout today. Our technicians can test the electrical components to find the source of the unusual noise quickly. We carry common replacement parts to get your unit running quietly again as fast as possible. Royce Richardson ensures that every repair is handled with technical precision and care.
Vibrating noises are usually caused by loose mounting bolts or a fan blade that is out. Over time, the constant operation of the unit can cause screws and brackets to loosen up. This leads to a rattling or vibrating sound that can be very annoying in a kitchen. We can tighten all the hardware and balance the fan blades to restore quiet operation today. A bent fan blade will cause the whole motor to vibrate and can lead to failure. Our maintenance service includes a check of all mechanical fasteners to prevent these types of issues. We serve the Longview area with expert noise troubleshooting for all commercial refrigeration brands.
If the noise is coming from the back of the unit, the condenser fan may be. Debris can get caught in the fan shroud and cause a loud scraping or clicking sound. This can eventually stop the fan and lead to a complete loss of cooling for you. We can clear the obstruction and ensure the fan is spinning freely and quietly for you. Unusual noises are your equipment’s way of telling you that something is wrong with it. Do not wait for a complete breakdown before calling us for a professional repair visit today. We are dedicated to providing a 5 star service experience for every local commercial client. Trust R.C.’s AC Reliable Climate to keep your kitchen quiet and your equipment running.
The choice between a mega top and a standard unit depends on your menu and volume. A mega top prep table provides an extra row of food pans for more ingredient variety. This is ideal for sandwich shops or salad bars that require many different toppings for customers. However, mega top units have a larger opening and can be harder to keep cold today. They require a more powerful refrigeration system to maintain the air curtain over the extra pans. We can help you evaluate your ingredient needs to see if a mega top is right. Royce Richardson provides honest advice on which model offers the best value for your business.
A standard prep table is often more energy efficient and easier to maintain for most kitchens. It features two rows of pans and provides plenty of space for a typical restaurant menu today. These units are very reliable and are excellent at maintaining safe food temperatures in high heat. If you do not need the extra pan space, a standard unit is a great choice. Our team can show you the differences in capacity and performance between the two models today. We ensure that your new unit is sized correctly for your kitchen layout and your workflow. You will receive a professional installation that meets all your operational and safety needs.
Both types of prep tables are available in various lengths to fit your specific kitchen space. We can help you measure your line to ensure a perfect fit for your new refrigeration unit. It is important to consider the clearance needed for the doors and the lids to open. We also check that you have the correct electrical outlet and circuit capacity for the unit. Our technicians are experts at integrating new equipment into existing commercial kitchen environments for you. We provide free estimates for all new prep table installations in the Longview, TX area. R.C.’s AC Reliable Climate is dedicated to helping your business grow with the right equipment. Contact us today to discuss your commercial refrigeration options and get a free quote.
Food pans that are freezing usually indicate that the temperature setting is too low for you. If the thermostat is set below thirty three degrees, the items in the pans may freeze. You should check the digital controller and adjust it to a slightly higher temperature setting today. However, if the setting is correct, the issue may be a faulty temperature probe or sensor. If the sensor is reading the air as warmer than it is, the unit runs. This leads to the ingredients in the pans reaching freezing temperatures over several hours of operation. Our technicians can recalibrate your sensors to ensure precise temperature management for your kitchen.
Blocked airflow can also cause localized freezing in certain areas of your prep table unit today. If the air discharge is blocked, the cold air may settle in one spot too long. This results in the pans directly in front of the vent becoming frozen and unusable. You should ensure that the food pans are seated correctly and not blocking the air vents. We can check the internal fan performance to ensure the air is circulating evenly throughout. Proper airflow is essential for maintaining a consistent and safe temperature in every pan for you. Our team is here to help you solve these frustrating temperature issues quickly and reliably.
A failing compressor relay or contactor can also cause the unit to run constantly and freeze. If the relay sticks in the closed position, the compressor will never shut off for you. This will eventually lead to freezing temperatures in both the pans and the storage cabinet today. We can test the electrical controls of your unit to identify and replace any faulty parts. Royce Richardson ensures that every repair is done right to protect your inventory and your equipment. We serve the entire Longview area with professional commercial refrigeration repair and maintenance services today. Don’t let frozen ingredients slow down your kitchen and increase your food waste costs. Call R.C.’s AC Reliable Climate to get your prep table working perfectly again for you.
