Refrigeration Unit Installation in Shrewsbury, MA
A blown fridge unit isn’t just an inconvenience — for a food delivery company, a florist, a caterer, or a pharmaceutical supplier in Shrewsbury, it’s a spoiled load, a failed health inspection, and a damaged customer relationship. The difference between a reliable cold chain and a costly breakdown often comes down to one thing: who installed the refrigeration unit in your vehicle.

Temperature Control That Protects Your Business
Vehicle refrigeration isn’t a luxury addition — it’s a compliance and revenue protection tool. Whether you’re maintaining FDA cold chain requirements for pharmaceuticals, keeping flowers fresh for a same-day delivery, or transporting prepared foods to a catering event, the refrigeration unit in your van has to work every time, every mile.
Here’s what temperature range your application requires:
Application Temperature Reference
Fresh Produce / Deli | 33–41°F | Standard chilled hold; most common for food delivery vans |
Prepared / Catered Foods | 36–40°F | Requires tight temperature control for event delivery |
Floral Delivery | 34–38°F | Sensitive to fluctuation; shorter routes preferred |
Frozen Goods | 0–10°F | Requires freezer-capable unit; higher compressor spec |
Pharmaceutical / Medical | 36–46°F | FDA CFR 21 cold chain compliance; logging often required |
Vaccine / Biologics | 35–46°F | Strict CDC/WHO guidelines; data logging essential |

Temperature Compliance & Documentation
For businesses subject to food safety regulations, pharmaceutical cold chain requirements, or internal quality standards, documentation matters as much as the refrigeration unit itself. Micorp works with you to spec the right system for your compliance needs:
Temperature Data Logging | We can install wireless temperature loggers alongside your refrigeration unit to provide continuous, cloud-accessible temperature records for FDA, HACCP, or internal audits. |
Alarm Systems | High-temp audible and visual alarms protect your load if the unit fails or a door is left open during a stop. |
Pre-Delivery Inspection Forms | We provide installation documentation and refrigeration unit specs for your compliance records on request. |
Service Records | Every Micorp installation comes with full service documentation — make and model, install date, technician, and warranty terms. |
Important for food businesses: Massachusetts DPH and FDA 21 CFR Part 211 both require documented temperature control for perishable food and pharmaceutical transport. A properly installed and documented refrigeration system is your first line of defense in an inspection. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which refrigeration unit is right for my van?
The main factors are: (1) the temperature range your product requires, (2) how long your vehicle is typically in motion vs. stationary, (3) whether you need a single-temp or dual-temp zone, and (4) your vehicle’s power supply and alternator capacity. Our technicians will walk through all four with you before recommending a system — we don’t start any install without alignment on specs.
Can a refrigeration unit run when the van is parked and turned off?
Yes, but it depends on the system type. Standby/plug-in units connect to shore power (a standard outlet) when parked, maintaining temperature overnight. Eutectic/holdover systems charge while driving and hold temperature for hours even when the engine is off. Fully battery-powered units can run independently but have a limited run window. We’ll recommend the right system based on your staging and delivery pattern.
Will adding a refrigeration unit void my van’s factory warranty?
Not when installed by a certified upfitter like Micorp. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects consumers from blanket warranty voids caused by aftermarket accessories. We use OEM-compatible mounting methods and never modify structural components or factory electrical systems without appropriate professional protocols. We provide full documentation of all work performed.
