About Polar Refrigeration & Air Control
A locally owned, full-service HVAC and refrigeration contractor built on reliable work, honest advice, and genuine care for every Chicago home and business we serve.
Our Story
Full-Service Comfort for Chicagoland
Polar Refrigeration & Air Control is a full-service commercial, industrial, and residential refrigeration and HVAC contractor serving Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We built this company on a simple promise: reliable, high-quality service and real customer satisfaction, every single time.
Refrigeration is right there in our name, and that specialization sets us apart. From walk-in coolers and freezers keeping a restaurant's inventory safe to the furnace keeping a family warm through a polar vortex, we bring the same expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and around-the-clock availability to every job.
We treat every customer like a neighbor — because in Chicagoland, you are one. That means showing up when we say we will, explaining what we find in plain language, giving honest repair-versus-replace advice, and standing behind our work with written guarantees.
Where We Work
We're based in Chicagoland and serve Chicago and communities across Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, and McHenry counties — from Evanston, Oak Park, and Cicero to Naperville, Schaumburg, and the North Shore. Because our technicians work in these neighborhoods every day, we know the local housing stock and the climate that pushes comfort systems hard, and we respond quickly when heat, cooling, or refrigeration fails.
