Why Proper Commercial Refrigeration Maintenance is Important

Proper refrigeration maintenance is vital for keeping your system running up to its full potential. Lack of adequate maintenance can lead to a shorter lifespan of your equipment, increases in energy bills, or worse, system failure. Here are some basic maintenance tips to help increase the life and productivity of your refrigeration system:

• Keep weeds and trash clear of the areas surrounding your condensing unit. This will ensure proper airflow to and from the system.
• Clean fan blades occasionally to reduce drag. Have an East Coast Refrigeration  service technician check that the fan motor is operating properly.
• Monitor refrigerator temperatures and check refrigerant levels.
• Take out and clean ice machines.
• Clean evaporator and condensing coils monthly.
• Reduce energy costs by purchasing strip curtains and make sure all doors are closed properly after use.
• Adequately seal and replace all cracks and worn gaskets.

By adhering to these simple maintenance pointers, you can avoid problems with your commercial or industrial refrigeration system. A little active care every now and then can save you tons of money on energy and repair bills in the long run.
