Arturo Lira, Founder
Lira’s Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
Colton, California
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The Lira family’s roots in refrigeration began with Arturo Lira and Lira’s Air Conditioning & Refrigeration in Colton, California. Throughout his career, Arturo passed his knowledge of the trade down through the family, teaching his sons, brother, and nephew along the way. That experience and family tradition would ultimately help shape the path Johnny carried forward with Lira’s Commercial Refrigeration Inc.
Lira’s Commercial Refrigeration Inc. is rooted in a family tradition that goes back nearly three decades. Johnny Lira learned the refrigeration trade alongside his father, Arturo Lira, owner of Lira’s Refrigeration in Colton, California.
After years of working alongside his father and gaining hands-on experience in commercial refrigeration, Johnny carried that knowledge forward into Lira’s Commercial Refrigeration Inc. Today, Johnny and his wife, Nicole, continue that family tradition, providing commercial refrigeration and ice machine service throughout the Inland Empire and Southern California.
FAMILY-OWNED.
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Words that hold special meaning for Johnny.

BUILT BY US.
Lira’s Commercial Refrigeration Inc. wasn’t inherited—it was built from the ground up by Johnny and Nicole Lira. With the trade and knowledge Johnny learned through years of hands-on experience, together they created a company of their own, built on hard work, family, and a commitment to doing the job right.
