Ice Machines for Ybor City Bars, Clubs & Restaurants
Rental from $160/month · PM $295/visit · For repairs, request a written repair quote
Friday nights along 7th Avenue bring simultaneous demand from bars, clubs, cigar lounges and late-night kitchens around Centro Ybor. Plan for that peak rather than assuming a full bin will last all night. Crystal Ice rents, cleans and repairs commercial ice machines in Ybor, whether you rent from us or own your machine.
Built for late nights and old buildings
Brick cigar-factory buildings can have small back rooms, limited ventilation and heat behind the bar. Poor airflow can reduce performance and stress equipment. On a free walk-through we assess airflow, drain access and peak-night demand, then discuss a suitable machine and bin for the room rather than selecting by catalog alone. Equipment and configuration availability must be confirmed.
A lease with covered repairs
Rental starts at $160/month and includes the machine, installation, standard scheduled PM every 6 months and repair parts/labor. Two months are paid up front, then it is month-to-month. No setup or installation fee; free pickup on cancellation. If repair becomes unsuitable, discuss replacement arrangements and availability; no guaranteed replacement or uninterrupted ice.
Multiple locations? Five or more units receive 10% off; ten or more receive 15% off. Your machine-specific rental price and scope are confirmed in writing after assessment.
Repairs on the machine you own
We repair Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman and Ice-O-Matic commercial ice machines, including machines we did not install.
For repairs, request a written repair quote before work. Repair work carries a 90-day warranty. Rental repair parts and labor are included.
The written quote establishes the proposed work and terms. A no-charge return for every recurring fault is not promised.
Clean ice for a crowded room
Fast ice turnover does not keep equipment surfaces clean. Slime and scale need attention in the machine and bin. PM costs $295/visit on a machine you own; standard scheduled PM is included with rental. A visit includes deep sanitizing of water-contact surfaces, scale removal, a mechanical inspection, a filter check and service paperwork. Standard scheduled PM is every 6 months. Follow manufacturer instructions and clean sooner if conditions warrant; more frequent needs are assessed individually. Paperwork documents maintenance, not a guaranteed inspection result.
For restaurants, DBPR’s historical Ice Protection bulletin advises approved potable water and cleaning/sanitizing per manufacturer guidance or as needed to prevent soil or mold, and after contamination. Its older code references are not current rule adoption. Inspection outcomes depend on conditions; paperwork does not promise a pass.
