Editorial Review
Our Take on Andes Refrigeration
The 4.8 from 71 reviews recorded on the Google profile in September 2026 is the strongest single indicator here, and it lines up with a business that lives on repeat calls from a small cluster of towns. The mismatch between the website hours and the Google hours is the one thing to clear up on your first call. A sensible first choice for in-home fridge, laundry or mini split repair around Newark and Kearny, particularly if you would rather deal in Spanish.
Best for: in-home fridge, washer, dryer and mini split repair around Newark and Kearny
What We Like
- 4.8 rating from 71 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read September 26, 2026
- Covers both domestic and commercial refrigeration, plus mini split air conditioning
- Tight service area across Newark, Kearny, Harrison, Elizabeth and neighbouring towns, which supports fast arrival
- Spanish-language website, booking form and customer service
- Google hours show early starts and evening availability most of the week, including Sunday
Things to Consider
- Website hours (Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 18:00) differ from the wider hours on the Google profile, so confirm availability when booking
- Site content is entirely in Spanish, so English speakers should confirm language on the first call
- No diagnostic fee, labour rate or warranty length is published, so ask before the visit
- Focus is repair and maintenance rather than full ducted system installation

About Andes Refrigeration
Appliance repair sits in an odd corner of the trades. It is technical work, often on sealed refrigeration systems that need recovery equipment and refrigerant handling, but it arrives at the door looking like a service call. Andes Refrigeration works that corner from a Kearny address on Wilson Avenue, taking calls on refrigerators, washers, dryers and air conditioning, and covering both residential and commercial refrigeration according to its own site.
The service list is worth reading closely, because it is broader than the Google category of refrigerator repair suggests. Neveras, lavadoras, secadoras and aire acondicionado are the four headings, with mini split air conditioning called out separately. That last one matters in this part of New Jersey. A great many of Newark's older two and three family houses and Kearny's row homes were never built with ductwork, so ductless mini splits have become the default retrofit for cooling upstairs bedrooms and finished basements. Those systems fail in predictable ways: clogged condensate lines that drip down a wall, filthy blower wheels, low charge from a bad flare connection at the lineset. A company that repairs both refrigeration and mini splits is working with the same refrigerant skills either way.
Coverage, by the company's own listing, runs through Newark, Harrison, East Newark, Kearny, Belleville, Bloomfield, Nutley, Irvington, Hillside, Orange, Elizabeth, Clifton, Secaucus and Lyndhurst. That is a tight cluster around the lower Passaic, and it is the kind of footprint that supports genuinely quick arrival times rather than a two-day window. The site emphasises mobile in-home service with no middlemen, which reads as a pitch against the dispatch agencies and warranty networks that subcontract the actual technician and add a layer of cost.
On evidence, the Google Business Profile carried a 4.8 rating from 71 reviews when it was read on September 26, 2026. Seventy-one reviews is a meaningful sample for an independent appliance business, and 4.8 across that many is a good sign for a trade where a failed repair tends to produce loud feedback. Treat everything else, including the service guarantee and the fair pricing language on the site, as the company's own claim until you confirm it on the phone.
One practical note before you call. The published Google hours and the hours on the website do not match. Google shows a wide spread, with 7 AM to 9 PM on Wednesday and Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM Thursday, and Sunday coverage until 8 PM, while the website states Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 18:00 with Sunday by prior arrangement for emergencies. The likeliest reading is that the longer hours reflect emergency and after-hours availability. Ask which applies to your job, and ask what an evening or weekend visit costs against a weekday one.
The website is in Spanish throughout, and the Facebook page is named for HVAC installation in New Jersey. For Spanish-speaking households in the Ironbound, Harrison or Elizabeth, that is a real advantage, since explaining an intermittent fault is easier in your own language. English speakers should simply confirm on the first call that the visiting technician can talk them through the diagnosis.
Who it suits: anyone with a dead fridge, a washer that will not drain, a dryer taking three cycles, or a mini split blowing warm, who wants a technician in the home rather than hauling a machine somewhere. Small commercial kitchens, delis and bodegas with a walk-in or reach-in cooler fall inside the stated range too, and for those a fast callout is the whole point, since spoiled stock costs more than the repair. It is less obviously the choice for a full ducted system changeout or new construction HVAC, because the material here is repair and maintenance rather than design and installation.
Questions worth asking: is there a diagnostic or trip fee, and is it credited against the repair if you go ahead; what warranty covers parts and labour and for how long; whether the technician carries common parts for LG, Samsung, Kenmore, GE and Frigidaire, the brands the booking form lists; and, for a sealed system repair on a fridge, whether recovery and recharge are included in the quoted figure. On an older refrigerator, ask bluntly whether the repair is worth it against replacement. A straight answer there tells you plenty about who you are dealing with. Compared with the national chains and manufacturer warranty networks operating in Essex and Hudson counties, a local outfit like this one generally wins on scheduling speed and loses on the depth of a parts warehouse, so confirm part availability early if your appliance is an unusual model.

Andes Refrigeration FAQs
What areas does Andes Refrigeration cover?
Its own site lists New Jersey coverage centred on Newark, Kearny, East Newark, Harrison, Hillside, Orange, Irvington, Clifton, Secaucus, Lyndhurst, Belleville, Nutley, Elizabeth and Bloomfield. The shop address is 11 Wilson Ave, Kearny, NJ 07032, just across the Passaic from the Ironbound, which keeps most of that list within a short drive.
Do they repair commercial refrigeration as well as home fridges?
Yes. The website advertises technical support for both commercial and domestic refrigeration, alongside mini split air conditioning and laundry appliances. For a deli, bodega or small kitchen, confirm on the call whether your specific unit type, such as a walk-in or a reach-in merchandiser, is something they handle regularly.
What are the actual opening hours?
There are two different published sets, so ask when you call. The Google profile shows 9 AM to 5 PM Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, 7 AM to 9 PM Wednesday and Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM Thursday, and 9 AM to 8 PM Sunday. The website states Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 18:00 with Sunday by prior arrangement for emergencies. The wider hours most likely reflect emergency availability.
How good are the reviews?
The Google Business Profile showed 4.8 stars from 71 reviews when it was read on September 26, 2026. For an independent appliance repair business that is a decent sample size, and a 4.8 average across that many reviews suggests most jobs land well.
Is the service available in Spanish?
Yes. The website, service pages and booking form are written entirely in Spanish, and the company presents itself to a Spanish-speaking customer base across Essex and Hudson counties. English speakers should confirm on the first call that the attending technician can explain the fault and the fix in English.
What should I ask before booking a repair?
Ask about the diagnostic or trip charge and whether it comes off the repair cost, the warranty on parts and labour, and whether common parts for your brand are carried on the van. The booking form lists LG, Samsung, Kenmore, General Electric and Frigidaire among the brands. On a sealed system fridge repair, also ask whether recovery and recharge are included in the quoted price.
Do they install new air conditioning systems?
The published service list centres on maintenance and repair of refrigeration, air conditioning, washers and dryers rather than new installations, though the linked Facebook page is named for HVAC installation in New Jersey. If you need a new mini split fitted rather than an existing one repaired, ask directly what installation work they take on.
Is Andes Refrigeration licensed and insured?
We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.
What areas does Andes Refrigeration serve?
New York, Newark, Union, East Orange, Bloomfield, Jersey City, North Bergen, Belleville, Hoboken, Union City, New York, Weehawken Township, Kearny, Brooklyn, Irvington. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Does Andes Refrigeration offer emergency service?
Yes, the company lists emergency availability. Response time depends on demand, and after a storm every company in the market is stretched.
What warranty do they offer?
Warranty terms are not on file. Ask for them in writing before work starts.
How was this profile built?
Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.
