What Can I Do to Protect My Commercial Refrigeration This Winter?

Did you know that winter creates unique challenges for your commercial refrigeration? Even though it might seem strange, frigid weather can cause your refrigeration systems to freeze over. With our expertise since 1976, RS Sales & Service has been a trusted partner in keeping these specialized units running smoothly for local companies. We understand that most businesses in the Tri-State Area rely on commercial refrigeration in some capacity, and we're here to help keep yours running at its best for years to come.

Inspect Seals and Gaskets

One of the quickest and easiest ways to protect your commercial refrigeration this winter is to inspect the seals and gaskets regularly. A faulty door seal can force your unit to work harder to maintain the internal temperature as cold air seeps through the damaged seal. This can result in expensive repairs and increased utility bills due to the additional energy consumption caused by the system's strain. By addressing these issues early, you can potentially save on repair costs and reduce your energy bills, providing you with financial security.

Check Refrigerant Levels

When the temperatures outside fluctuate wildly during the winter months, your commercial refrigeration unit has to work harder. Contact the professionals at RS Sales & Service to check the refrigerant levels and top them off if necessary. Without the proper amount of this vital solution, your equipment can't function at its best. The result can be spoiled products, lost revenue, and potential damage to internal parts. We have the tools and experience to help you avoid this unnecessary outcome.

Clean the Drain Lines

Drain lines are vital to your refrigeration system's efficiency. If a clog forms, excessive amounts of moisture and ice can build up, potentially damaging your unit. This problem is especially prevalent during winter when your commercial refrigeration has to work harder to combat the strain the frigid temperatures create. By cleaning the drain lines regularly, you can prevent ice, mold, and other debris from collecting and clogging the lines.

Schedule Regular Maintenance

Replacing commercial refrigerators, coolers, and freezers carries high costs that can adversely affect your operating budget. However, with our routine inspection services, RS Sales & Service can identify problems with your units earlier. This means repairs will get done within a shorter time frame and at a lower cost, potentially saving you from the burden of costly replacements.

Refrigeration maintenance will also help you comply with the terms of the warranties for your equipment. If you can show that you took the necessary steps to care for the equipment, you can use the warranty to cover future repair costs. It's as easy as that!

Prepare Ahead of Winter Storms

Sudden power outages are a real possibility when it comes to winter storms. Are your commercial refrigeration units connected to a surge protector? What is your backup plan in the event of power fluctuations and outages? By asking our friendly team for tips and advice, you can be proactive and prepared for any potential disruptions.
