Top Tips for Buying a Commercial Refrigeration Unit

If you're new to the restaurant industry, you may have no idea where to begin when it comes to buying a commercial refrigeration unit. With so many options to choose from, it's easy to feel lost. The experts of East Coast Refrigeration are ready and willing to help you find the right unit for your business.

To help you become better acquainted with the process, we've put together the following guide:

1. "You get what you pay for"

While we understand that price is a concern -- especially if you're just launching a new business -- don't be fooled by corrupt peddlers selling low-quality units. We offer brands you know and trust, like Kingspan, Hillphoenix and Trane.

2. Get the size right

Commercial refrigeration units are not one-size-fits-all. Need help determining what shape and size is right for your restaurant? East Coast Refrigeration's design team will work together with you to specify the proper equipment needed for your business. You can also refer to this guide from Food Service Warehouse.

3. Consider energy efficiency

Refrigeration is a major energy cost for restaurants, according to National Grid. It's certainly worth your while to look for the most energy-efficient commercial refrigeration unit you can find -- even if it means paying a bit more up front. You'll save big in the long run.
