Whether you’re a supermarket, restaurant, convenience store, or any other business that uses commercial refrigeration to preserve products, you know that your appliances are vital to the success of your business.
Preventative maintenance is one of the most important aspects in your business, but we know that life happens. Even if you’re diligent in your upkeep, sometimes stuff just breaks!
Read on for more warning signs that you may need a high quality commercial refrigeration repair service to come out and assess your appliances.
Signs Your Commercial Refrigeration System Needs Repair
Luckily, there are many telltale signs that your refrigeration system is about to go. If you pay attention and utilize Central Florida Store Service’s offsite temperature monitoring, you may be able to diagnose your refrigeration issues before they put your business at risk.
Your Product is Spoiling Too Soon
One of the most obvious signs that your commercial refrigerator needs repair is that your product is spoiling too soon. You may also hear complaints from customers that your food is spoiled before the sell by date. Not only are you losing money because of loss of product, but you could be making your customers sick!
You don’t want to risk your brand, reputation, or a lawsuit. If you’ve gotten complaints about spoiled food make sure that you hire a high quality professional to assess your appliances.
Energy Bills on the Rise
Commercial walk-in coolers cost a lot of money to run since you usually own multiple and of course, they’re running all the time. If you notice that your energy bill is going up, you may want to schedule a checkup.
There may be something causing your system to work harder than it should and an inefficient system could not only break, but it also costs you more money.
Excessive Moisture/Leaks
Your commercial refrigerator unit is designed to keep your perishables cool and dry. If you see an abundance of condensation on the inside or outside of your refrigerator, there could be something wrong with your gaskets, drain tube, or humidity controls.
Your Commercial Refrigeration Unit is Too Hot
If your refrigerator is monitored by our offsite temperature monitoring, then you’re already aware of your unit’s temperature inside. But what about when your refrigerator feels hot on the outside?
If the sides of your unit feel warmer than usual, it could mean that your condenser coils are dirty and need to be cleaned. This is maintenance that should be done regularly to avoid major repairs.
Your Commercial Refrigerator is Old
Unfortunately, most appliances have a lifespan. While your refrigeration equipment may not be on the fritz right now, if your unit is over 15 years old it may begin to wear down sooner rather than later. Because technology is ever-changing, if your unit breaks down you may have trouble finding the spare parts to fix it. Repairs become more expensive and may not be worth fixing in the long run.
Consider an updated model if your cooler/freezer is over 15 years old.
