A well-functioning HVAC system is essential for any commercial, industrial, or institutional facility. Whether it’s a busy restaurant, a grocery store, an office building, or a cold-storage warehouse, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment works around the clock to keep your space comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient.

When the temperature drops you need a reliable heating system to keep you warm and comfortable. Like all machines time takes its toll on your furnace and inevitably it will need repairs. How do you know that it needs fixing? Here are some common signs.

The next time you get ice from your commercial ice maker pay attention to the size and shape of the cubes. The size and shape of the ice should be mostly the same throughout the whole bin.

REGULARLY CHECK SAFETY RELEASES ON DOORS.

Ever wonder what that glow in the dark circle is on the walk in door? Modern walk-in coolers & freezers come with safety releases on doors to avoid the risk of accidental entrapment. Employees locked inside a walk-in cooler are at risk of hypothermia or even death since temperatures can be below freezing. Be sure to regularly check safety releases (the glow in the dark circle) to make sure they are functioning properly. Employees can also practice a buddy system when entering the walk-in to be extra cautious.

Regular Maintenance will allow your walk-in cooler or freezer to protect your product and cost you less money over time. Commercial refrigeration units are just like any appliance, repairs are sometimes needed. If you catch problems early on, you can decrease the chance of having to make costly emergency repairs. Watch out for the warning signs below and make an appointment with our service center if you notice your walk-in seems to be malfunctioning.
