Top 4 Ice Machine Rental in Long Beach, CA

Ice Machine Sales & Service Co. is a Commerce ice machine dealer that has rented, leased and sold machines since 1935. That makes them the oldest company we found serving Long Beach, by more than forty years. And their biggest machines top out above 2,000 lbs a day, higher than anyone else here. They are also the only one offering a lease that ends in a $1 buyout, so a business that wants to own the machine eventually has one real option. But we did not find a published rental rate, or whether installation and filter changes sit inside it. We recommend you ask for both in writing, next to the lease figure, so you can compare renting against owning on the same page.

Airplus Refrigeration, Inc. is a West Hills refrigeration and HVAC contractor, trading since 1977, that runs an ice machine rental program alongside their repair work. They are the only company we found serving Long Beach with a published starting price, and their rentals begin at $134.99 a month. And they are the only one promising repairs around the clock, which matters more to a busy bar than to a quiet office. But ice is one line among several for them, next to walk-in coolers, air conditioning and wine cellars. We did not find a stated contract length, or what the monthly rate does after the first term. So we suggest getting the term and any renewal increase in writing before you sign.

Easy Ice is a national ice machine subscription company, headquartered in Marquette, Michigan, that serves Long Beach from a branch in Paramount. Ice machines are the whole business for them, which makes them one of only two ice specialists we found here. They list more ice shapes than any other company serving the city, six in all. And they are the only one promising free replacement ice while a broken machine waits for repair. But the machines they list top out lower than anyone else's, at under 800 lbs a day. Their Paramount branch also has little public track record we could read. So we recommend a high-volume kitchen ask whether a larger modular unit is available before signing.

Dependable Break Room Solutions is a family-owned vending, coffee and water company in Upland, trading since 1979, that added ice machine rentals to their break room service. They are the only company we found serving Long Beach with a loaner machine promise for the days a unit is down. They also publish a cleaning schedule, with quarterly sanitizing and filter changes every six to twelve months. And they name more towns around Long Beach than anyone else, Signal Hill, Seal Beach and Los Alamitos among them. But ice is their newest line, and we found little public feedback on their ice service to weigh. So we would advise asking how quickly a loaner arrives, because the promise comes with "if needed" attached.
