Does Your Walk-In Freezer Need Repairs?
Walk-in freezers are an expensive and necessary investment for restaurants looking to keep up with the competitive F&B sector. In an industry where lowering costs is the key to survival a badly maintained freezer can result in huge losses in produce and could even get customers sick! Here are some tell-tale signs that it’s time to repair your system or switch to a high-quality cooling unit.
Damaged Door
The door is the first to be affected by wear and tear especially in a busy restaurant. Even slightly loose hinges or minimally damaged gaskets can allow outside air to leak into your freezer and cause the cooling unit to work harder to maintain temperature.
Frost build-up in certain parts of the freezer can also indicate an air flow issue since frost is created by warm air suddenly coming into contact with cooler air.
Notice the Sound Your Freezer Makes
When using your freezer, pay attention to the sound it makes while in operation. While this may be uncommon for businesses using quality commercial refrigeration, in older units, you can guarantee something is wrong or is about to go wrong if the sound of your refrigerator motor is loud or harsh. Call your cool room technician immediately before something serious happens!
High Utility Bills
At Cold-Rite, we believe that quality commercial refrigeration is about durable, reliable engineering at the lowest possible energy costs. The first sign that your walk-in freezer is no longer working for you is when energy bills start to rise higher than usual. Your freezer is a large investment and should guarantee you energy efficiency. If your power bills have skyrocketed, it might be time for a thorough repair or to cut your losses and buy a new one. A combination of worn-out structural components, rotting or insufficient insulation or old wiring can all contribute to increased operational costs.
