slide 1: Steps to Maintain Your Commercial Refrigeration Equipment
If you are a huge business owner you probably know the importance of
preventive maintenance in recent years. Preventive maintenance is the most
feasible method to keep your heating and air conditioning systems running
reliably and efficiently. What you might not realise is that commercial
refrigeration repair in Fort Worth TX is a result of carelessness in the
maintenance and servicing of the electrical units at your firm or outlet. After all
all these heating and cooling units are mission-critical systems that can quickly
cost you a fortune when they go down. Even when your refrigeration system is
working in its best condition it could be consuming too much energy which
might even cost you not just your wallet but the entire planet. Preventive care
will save you some green.
Scheduling regular cleaning and tune-ups for your refrigeration units can help
with the following benefits:
1. Prevent the dreaded emergency breakdown.
Just the thought of your walk-in freezer going down is probably enough to send
shivers run down your spine. The loss could be massive. You can not afford to
lose customers and reputation once you reach stability in your business. Regular
inspections can help you spot problems and fix them before the entire shipment
of ice food and meat go waste. Avoid power failures for a long time. Cleaning
and maintaining the evaporators and condensers could reduce the risk of failures
and need of a commercial refrigeration repair in Fort Worth TX.
2. Avoid mould and contaminated ice.
The foul smell is sure to drive your customers away. You need to make sure the
customers are not uncomfortable or sick due to the smelly ice or spoilt food. To
make the situations worst you could end up with health code violations and
even lawsuits ready to sue you. Dirt and mould accumulating inside the ice
maker are a major contributor to the smell.

and dispensers using products specially designed for ice machines of the
refrigeration brand installed in your building.
3. Reduce energy bills.
Maintaining your refrigeration equipment can save between 5 to 10 per cent on
energy costs. Maintenance helps units show their peak performance. When
condenser coils are dirty your commercial refrigerator has to work harder
which in turn results in using more energy in the process. Check the defrost
frequency settings for maximum efficiency and minimum power consumption
by your commercial refrigerator.
4. Extend the life of your equipment.
The refrigerator lifecycle is a vicious cycle: when parts are worn and dirty the
unit runs more fiercely causing more wear and tear on the minor and major
parts equally. The unit sometimes breaks down for good long before it should
have.
