Healthcare Equipment Repair in South Florida
Vaccine fridges, lab refrigeration, hospital kitchens, ice — discreet, documented, certified.
Why healthcare facilities owners call Berne
Healthcare facilities have a different vendor bar: documentation requirements, NDA expectations, HIPAA-aware crew behavior, and refrigeration that's not just "cold" but logged-and-validated cold. We work on the same equipment a biomed group would touch on the refrigeration side — Helmer plasma and vaccine fridges, Thermo Scientific lab freezers, Follett pharmacy ice — and we stay out of the regulated medical-device scope. When a freezer alarm trips at 2am, our dispatch logs the call, the response time, and the resolution for your QA chain.
Eleven years operating across South Florida, 18 technicians on the road, 29,000+ services completed, and a 4.79-star average on 871 reviews. We're licensed and insured (DBA Berne Appliance Repair), EPA-certified for refrigerant work, and NDA-friendly for the verticals that need it.

Service area
We dispatch across all three South Florida counties for healthcare facilities: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Most emergencies receive same-day response from Miami Beach to Boca Raton.
Why same-day matters for healthcare facilities
A vaccine refrigerator excursion is not just a financial loss — it's a regulatory event with paperwork attached. Our healthcare dispatch is set up to log the call, get a refrigeration tech onsite quickly, and produce documentation your QA program can attach to the excursion record. Same-day on critical refrigeration; standard turnaround on cafeteria equipment unless a patient-meal service is impacted.
Concierge medicine practices and physician homes often install medical-grade refrigeration outside the clinic — Berne's premium residential team at berne-repair.com handles those private-residence installations.
