We Provide Refrigeration Installations In the Gold Coast Region

When you’re looking for the perfect commercial fridge, there are important elements you’ll need to consider.

• Space: You’ll first need to make sure the fridge you’re choosing has enough space to store your items, food or ingredients. It should also comfortably fit within your space without restricting activity or workflow.
• Energy: Consider the energy efficiency rating of commercial fridges to predict whether you’ll be spending more on energy.
• Climate class: The climate classes of commercial fridges represent their temperature range capacity. It’s crucial you invest in a fridge which has a climate class matching the temperature of your space.
• Defrosting: Reduce ice build-up by purchasing a fridge with an in-built defrost system.
• Security: If you’re worried about the safety of your stock, a lockable fridge might be the answer.
• Time and energy-saving: A fridge with self-closing doors can help save time and improve your efficiency.

Installation times will largely depend on the size of your refrigerator and the complexity of the installation. Your installer will also take into account the location of installation and the purpose of your fridge before giving you an estimate of the installation time. Generally, a commercial fridge can be installed within a couple of hours.

There are simple, practical things you can do to reduce the amount of energy your commercial refrigerator uses.

• Control your anti-sweat heaters: These heaters are used to prevent the build-up of condensation and frost, but if they’re always on they’ll lead to higher energy bills. An adaptive control system can help to detect when heating is needed and can turn the power on or off accordingly.
• Assess your seals: A leaking seal can lead to warm air entering your refrigerator. If this happens, you won’t just waste energy: anything you have stored in your fridge may become spoiled too. It’s crucial you pay attention to your seals and gaskets, noting their quality and any signs of wear.
• Dust your coils: If dust collects on your cooler coils, it can cause decreased performance and higher bills. Ensure your coils are clean to create optimal heat transfer and save on energy.
• Check your airflow: Even though commercial fridges do take up a lot of room, it’s important they’re surrounded by good airflow and circulation. Limited airflow can decrease functionality and result in a waste of energy.
• Install motion sensors: If you’ve gone to your walk-in fridge or freezer only to find someone’s left the light on, you might need a motion sensor light. This lighting switches on in response to movement and is a great way of keeping energy costs down. A night curtain can also help if you operate an open refrigerated case, as it will help trap cool air after hours.

Commercial refrigeration systems come with a commercial warranty of up to five years, and this can be extended depending on the manufacturer. These warranties don’t cover perishable items, like hinges or seals. The particular warranty and level of cover you receive will vary according to who has manufactured your fridge and how it’s been designed.

A parts-only warranty only provides cover for the cost of replacing any mechanical parts within your refrigeration system. This means any costs of labour needed to repair or replace your fridge will be borne by you.

A parts and labour warranty guarantees complete cover on the costs of repair and replacement, and on the service and labour fees.
