Benedict Sales & Service, formerly known as Benedict Refrigeration, is a family-owned business proudly serving the Eau Claire and La Crosse regions of Wisconsin since 1938. Established by Samuel S. Benedict as a one-man operation, the company initially focused on refrigeration services for small markets and locker plants. Over the decades, the company has expanded significantly, engaging four generations of the Benedict family in its operations.
Throughout its rich history, Benedict Sales & Service has diversified its offerings beyond refrigeration to include HVAC systems, food service equipment, and specialized services such as draft beer systems. The commitment to customer satisfaction and high-quality service is evident in the company’s approach, ensuring that client expectations are not just met but exceeded.
With a focus on commercial services, Benedict Sales & Service caters to a wide range of industries, including bars, restaurants, educational institutions, and manufacturing facilities. The company prides itself on its knowledgeable and experienced team, which is dedicated to providing full-service solutions that include design, installation, and maintenance. Additionally, the firm offers 24/7 emergency services to address urgent client needs.
The transition to the name Benedict Sales & Service represents the company’s evolution and expansion of service areas, which now encompasses western and southeastern Wisconsin, as well as parts of Minnesota and Iowa. This significant growth has been further propelled through strategic acquisitions, including Schomburg Refrigeration and Thorne’s Refrigeration.
Today, as a fourth-generation family business, Benedict Sales & Service continues to build on its foundational principles of quality, reliability, and strong customer relationships, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner for HVAC and refrigeration needs in the region.
