Andrew Buigues
Founder - Lead Tech
Before I was repairing fryers and refrigeration systems, I was managing profits for store owners as a wine & spirits account executive. My job was to grow their business—and I took that personally. That’s where I learned the #1 rule of business: Customer satisfaction drives everything.
Later, I transitioned into the world of refrigeration—starting at Thermo King in transport units, then moving into residential HVAC, and ultimately finding my stride in commercial HVAC and kitchen equipment.
I’ve spent years working alongside chefs and kitchen crews, learning what matters most to them:
🔥 Equipment that works
📞 Service they can reach
⚡ Fast, clean, no-drama repairs
My greatest mission, though, is sharing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m a husband, father of three, and full-time farmhand when I’m off the clock. I’m blessed beyond belief. Praise God.

Matthew Pennington

Matthew brings 5 years of solid hands-on experience as a PM and Service Tech—and just as important, a background in restaurants as a server and bartender. He knows how chaotic the kitchen gets when something breaks, and he knows how vital our work is to your flow.
His approach is simple:
Show up on time
Fix it right
Communicate clearly
Leave the kitchen team happy
Whether it’s a broken fryer or a fridge on the fritz, Matthew’s goal is to get the cook line running again—without drama, without delay.
