Frequently Asked Questions

What are the types of commercial refrigeration?

Common types of commercial refrigeration include walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in refrigerators, refrigerated prep tables, display cases, undercounter units, blast chillers, and ice machines. The right selection depends on the product volume, temperature needs, available space, and energy efficiency goals.

How often should commercial refrigeration be serviced?

Commercial refrigeration systems should be serviced at least twice a year, though high-usage units or critical systems may require quarterly service. Routine maintenance includes cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, inspecting door gaskets, checking refrigerant charge and leaks, and verifying defrost and fan operation to maintain efficiency and product quality.

How long do commercial refrigerators last?

Most commercial refrigerators last around 10–15 years, and with regular maintenance, some can last up to 20 years. However, it’s time to consider replacement if energy costs rise significantly, temperatures fluctuate, parts become obsolete, or if the compressor fails repeatedly.
