Tropical Refrigeration

For over three decades, Tropical Refrigeration has stood as the premier HVAC Contractor and MEP solutions provider across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Operating from its base at Moulana Azad Road in Phoenix Bay, Sri Vijaya Puram, the firm has methodically built a reputation for delivering high-performance climate control, electrical, and mechanical systems. Our journey, rooted in 1985 with humble beginnings, reflects a deep commitment to technical excellence and client-focused service. We bridge the gap between island-specific environmental challenges and world-class engineering standards, ensuring every project—from government institutions to private enterprises—receives a reliable, efficient, and durable system tailored to the tropical maritime climate.

Our team, led by Proprietor Shri Shahin Meheraban Javanmardi, a mechanical engineer from the College of Engineering, Pune, combines rigorous academic training with extensive field experience. This leadership has cultivated a skilled workforce of nearly 70 technically proficient and semi-skilled workers, all dedicated to upholding stringent quality and safety protocols. We understand that in an island ecosystem, equipment longevity and performance under saline, humid conditions are paramount. That’s why we integrate advanced thermal and acoustic insulation, energy-efficient designs, and proactive maintenance strategies into every solution we deliver. Choosing Tropical Refrigeration means partnering with a local institution that prioritizes long-term operational reliability over short-term fixes.

Our Approach to Project Execution

We follow a methodical project management framework that emphasizes transparency, on-time delivery, and meticulous documentation. From the initial site survey, we assess ambient conditions, load requirements, and spatial constraints to draft a solution design that precisely matches the application. Our execution phase includes strict material quality checks, adherence to standard installation practices, and seamless coordination with other on-site trades.

Upon completion, our commissioning engineers perform a thorough system startup and performance verification before handover. We provide comprehensive operation manuals and user training, then transition into the warranty and post-installation service phase. For clients with AMCs, our service team offers scheduled preventive visits, 24/7 emergency response, and remote monitoring where applicable. This integrated process consistently results in installations that meet design specifications and operate reliably for years.

Serving Public and Private Sector Clients

Tropical Refrigeration has earned the trust of diverse client segments by adapting to stringent government procurement rules as readily as private sector timelines. Our portfolio includes critical government infrastructure where cooling reliability directly impacts operations, as well as hotels, hospitals, and commercial complexes where guest comfort and energy cost control are key. The firm’s ability to manage documentation, statutory compliance, and multi-stakeholder coordination makes us a preferred partner for large-scale public works.

Private clients benefit from our consultative approach, where we propose energy-efficient alternatives and phased upgrade paths that align with operational budgets. We maintain transparent billing, document all material warranties, and offer flexible service plans that scale with business growth. Whether it’s a cold chain project for a fisheries cooperative or a district cooling plant for a commercial development, we bring the same rigorous engineering discipline to every contract.
