Top 3 Ice Machine Rental in Charlotte, NC

Optimum Water Solutions is a bottleless water and ice company serving Charlotte from a unit on the airport side of the city. They are the only company here publishing a named service plan that folds filter changes, maintenance and repairs into one agreement, and the only one we found publishing what each individual machine makes in a day rather than one range across the whole fleet. They also say plainly that their technicians are their own employees and not subcontractors, which almost nobody in this market states out loud. But we did not find a published monthly rate, and no stated response time for a machine that has stopped. We recommend you ask what the plan costs before the free trial week starts.

First Choice Coffee Services has run an office coffee and water route into Charlotte since 1987, with an ice line alongside the coffee. They have been trading longer than anyone else we checked here, by more than twenty years. And they publish the most frequent service visit in this market, with a route manager calling at least once a month and a next-day window for an off-route emergency. But their ice range is the narrowest we found, built around one manufacturer at breakroom volumes rather than kitchen ones. They also name no part of the metro beyond Charlotte itself. Because their repairs and maintenance are carried out at no charge, we would advise confirming that cover extends to the ice dispenser and not only the coffee equipment.

Advanced Water places filtered water, sparkling and ice systems in offices from a base in Concord, and is the only provider here headquartered inside the metro. That shows in their reach. They name more of the Charlotte area than anyone else we checked, running from Huntersville and Mooresville in the north down to Pineville and west into Gastonia. They also carry a wider spread of ice than any other company here, and stock more manufacturers than the rest of this market put together. But we did not find a founding year for them anywhere, and no production figure either, which makes their fleet hard to size against the rest. Ask on the first call how many pounds a day the machine they propose will actually make.
