White Refrigeration is a family-owned business with 50 years of experience in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning. We offer services from design and installation to maintenance and repair – all under one roof.
Our close-knit team of skilled professionals handle refrigeration, air conditioning and ventilation, plus custom-built wine cellars – a rare combination that sets us apart. We've grown to become one of Auckland's largest engineering teams, serving prestigious clients like DHL, Auckland Hospital, NZ Blood and Eden Park.
At White’s, we're all about family values, exceptional customer service, and innovative problem-solving. Our friendly and easy-to-deal-with team is dedicated to finding solutions that work for you.
Our Values and Goals
We're passionate about providing exceptional customer service to our clients. Our goal is to be the absolute best in the industry. We believe in quality over quantity, and that starts with our team.
We treat each other like family, and this attitude extends to our clients too. Honesty, trust, and open communication are at the core of everything we do. We acknowledge challenges, address them head-on, and work together to find solutions.
Our success stems from creating a positive environment where people can grow. Our business thrives because our team is happy, engaged, and proud of their work.
The White Difference
At White's, we believe the difference lies in our people. We're a professional, friendly, and approachable team, passionate about learning and improving. We're not a slow-moving corporate giant—we're nimble and responsive, able to act quickly for your needs.
We're big enough to provide 24/7 service for critical situations, yet small enough for you to directly access our management team. We value personalised service and believe in building strong connections with our clients.
Our family values are at the heart of everything we do. We understand that you do business with people, not just companies. We focus on great communication, from initial contact to ongoing service and support.
Our History and Today
Founded in the 1960s by Don White, the business first focused on manufacturing under-bench drink coolers, walk-in cool rooms for keg storage and servicing residential refrigerators. In 1988, Don retired and sold the business to the Begg family. We ceased the manufacturing side of the company in 2008, focusing on the growing commercial services sector.
In 2014, we consolidated our operations, offering a one-stop shop for refrigeration and air conditioning needs. We moved from three buildings on Great North Road to a larger facility on the Grey Lynn/Ponsonby border. In September 2025, we reached another significant milestone by relocating to Mt Albert, where we now operate from our own purpose-owned building.
We are supported by a dedicated team who share our customer-centric vision and values. This has propelled White’s toward greater strength and success, bringing us to where we stand today.
We're qualified to help.
Due to being IQP registered and compliant, we can assist our clients to qualify for their building Warrant of Fitness, as required by the Building Code legislation. Our certification means we can complete building surveys on refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, and sign off PS1 & PS3.

SPCA New Zealand has worked closely with White Refrigeration across a range of HVAC maintenance, compliance, repair, and project works. Throughout our engagement, Wilson, Mike, and the wider team have consistently demonstrated professionalism, strong communication, and a solutions-focused approach. What stands out is their willingness to thoroughly investigate issues, clearly explain technical findings, and work collaboratively to achieve the best outcome. Their team provides regular updates, practical recommendations, and follows through on commitments, making it easy to manage projects and maintenance activities across a diverse property portfolio. We have particularly appreciated their support on complex HVAC remediation works, preventative maintenance planning, and their proactive approach to identifying potential issues before they become larger problems. Thank you to the White Refrigeration team for your ongoing support. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future.

I work with Whites in a commercial capacity, they are punctual and professional, often helping us out in a pickle. Their pricing is more than fair. I would highly recommend using Whites.

From the initial call to the job completion they kept me informed. The cost was what they said which was good compared to other prices. I highly recommend them
