If you own a restaurant or grocery store, commercial refrigeration systems are essential to your daily business. To keep your inventory fresh, you need to ensure you have the right systems for your needs, and you also need to keep them properly maintained. If you’re new to commercial refrigeration, review these frequently asked questions to get started.

Common Questions About Commercial Refrigeration

Does the unit need flooring?

Commercial refrigerators and freezers need to sit on level ground to function correctly. If your restaurant kitchen or grocery store already has sturdy concrete flooring, you might not need a cooler with a built-in floor. However, commercial freezers always have built-in flooring to maximize insulation. 

What size is best for my business?

Commercial refrigeration equipment is available in a variety of sizes to suit most properties. The size you need depends on how much space you have to work with and how much inventory you need to keep cool. There are also custom options available for particularly small or unusually shaped spaces. 

Do I need professional installation?

Since commercial refrigeration systems need to meet building restrictions and be code compliant, it’s best to leave the job to professionals. They also have the proper equipment to move heavy parts and will complete the work in a fraction of the time. 

How should I maintain it?

To ensure optimal efficiency, you must care for your refrigerators and freezers. Inspect the door to make sure it’s in alignment and that the gaskets seal tightly. Also, keep enough space around the unit so it can ventilate warm air, and clean the coils every so often to prevent them from freezing.
