Whether you operate a restaurant, convenience store, grocery store, or another important establishment, keeping your commercial refrigeration system running smoothly and efficiently is essential.

How to Extend the Life of Your Commercial Refrigeration System

Since 2009, we have been providing reliable commercial refrigeration services throughout the area, and we’re always happy to share our maintenance tips with clients. Below, we’ll go over a few key ways that you can help extend the life of your commercial refrigeration system and keep it working reliably for years to come.

  • Schedule routine maintenance. Rather than waiting until something goes wrong to schedule repair services, we encourage you to schedule regular maintenance appointments to prevent minor issues from becoming more severe. Our commercial refrigeration technicians will thoroughly assess your equipment, ensure all components are working properly, and make minor repairs as needed.
  • Clean the condenser and evaporator coils regularly. When these coils become dirty, your refrigeration system will need to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature, which can cause the system to wear out prematurely. We recommend cleaning the coils regularly and keeping clutter away from your refrigeration system.
  • Try not to overload the refrigerator. During busy times, it can be easy to simply shove as much product as possible into your refrigerators, but this can have negative long-term effects. Overloading the unit can block airflow, forcing the compressor to work harder and potentially decreasing the lifespan of your system.
