Sunshine Coast Coolroom Installation

Building a new food business? Expanding your storage? We design and deliver coolroom installations that are made to last. At Allchin Airconditioning & Refrigeration Electrical, we build commercial-grade coolrooms right here on the Sunshine Coast — from Caloundra to cafes, butchers, breweries and industrial sites across the region.


We handle the full process from layout planning and insulation panels to refrigeration units, lighting and shelving. Whether you need a walk-in fridge, freezer room or dual-zone combo, we’ll design it for efficiency and access. Every build is customised for your floor space, cooling needs and compliance requirements.


We also offer upgrades and extensions to existing coolrooms if you're growing or renovating your premises. All units are constructed to food-safe specs using quality materials that stand up to local conditions.

Expert Coolroom Installation & Setup

When your cold storage works seamlessly, everything else runs better. We’ve been building coolrooms for Sunshine Coast businesses for over two decades — from small shops needing extra stock space to large-scale food prep facilities. We know how to build smart, functional spaces that support safe storage and fast access.


We’ll work closely with your builder or project manager, or handle the job ourselves from start to finish. Our team handles panel installation, refrigeration fit-out, electrical work and sealing, so you don’t have to juggle multiple trades. We’ll also make sure your unit meets HACCP and food safety guidelines, so there’s no red tape holding up operations.


Every project starts with a site visit and a chat. We’ll map out your space, listen to what you need, and recommend the most efficient setup to suit your workflow — not just your square meterage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size coolroom do I need for my business?

    The size of your coolroom depends on what you’re storing, how often it’s accessed and how much future growth you’re planning for. As a rough guide, small food businesses can start with around 8–10m³ for chilled stock. Butchers or bulk prep kitchens might need 15m³ or more. Oversizing leads to energy waste, while undersizing limits stock levels and airflow.


    A site inspection helps nail down the right fit, factoring in door access, racking, and how frequently the coolroom will be opened.

  • Can a coolroom be used as a freezer too?

    Yes — coolrooms can be built as freezers, fridges or a combination of both. Freezer rooms need thicker insulation and a more powerful condenser to reach and hold temperatures below zero.


    If you need dual zones (e.g. fridge and freezer), these can be built side-by-side with separate access and temperature control. It’s important to specify your cooling needs early in the design process to choose the right panels, seals and components.

  • Do I need council approval for a coolroom?

    This varies based on the size, use and location of the coolroom. In many cases, if it's part of a commercial premises (like a restaurant or shop) and connected to existing power and drainage, it may not need full development approval. However, food-related businesses must meet local health and safety standards.


    It's always best to check with your local council or work with a builder who understands the regulations — especially when working within existing buildings or shared commercial spaces.

  • What temperature range does a coolroom maintain?

    Coolrooms typically maintain temperatures between 0°C and 5°C for chilled goods. Freezer rooms are set to -18°C or lower. The specific range depends on your needs and the product you're storing. You can also install digital temperature displays and monitoring systems to help maintain consistency. Reliable temperature control not only keeps goods safe but also helps reduce spoilage and energy use.


    During installation, airflow, insulation, and equipment sizing are all balanced to hit your target range efficiently.
