D & M Refrigeration Inc.

The public record shows a contractor that works inside other people's projects. Nearly all of its public-works filings list it as a subcontractor, and the agencies include Spokane Community College and the City of Spokane Parks & Recreation alongside the college district and Newport schools. The state insures the business under its HVAC-R install, service and repair class, and puts the crew at one to three people, so the owner is doing the work. The state lists Duane Anest, Diane Emmons and Ramona Anest as principals, and the business has held its Washington registration since 2000. That shape suits mechanical work on commercial and institutional buildings: refrigeration and HVAC upgrades at a school or campus, a sub package on a commercial job, or ongoing upkeep of existing refrigeration equipment. It's a trade-to-trade operation more than a homeowner-facing one, so a general contractor or facilities manager is the more natural client than someone after a same-day fix on a house in Spokane Valley or Liberty Lake. Spokane's building stock spans a wide range, and that matters for HVAC and refrigeration work. Older schools, college buildings and commercial spaces often carry equipment and ductwork added in stages over decades, with mechanical rooms sized for systems long since replaced. Newer buildings tend to arrive with tighter envelopes and controls that expect equipment matched to the load. Anyone planning an upgrade on an older property should ask how the new equipment will tie into what's already in the walls and on the roof, and whether refrigerant lines, electrical service and drainage need work before the new unit goes in.
