Is there a way to minimise the impact of opening and closing the cool room door on my electricity bill?
We recommend a few, solid tips on how to reduce your energy usage brought on by your commercial refrigeration systems.
Here they are:
-
Installing air curtains or strip curtains as part as your cool room
These create that much-appreciated barrier, reducing the probability of precious cool air escaping. Air curtains are placed above the doorway, with the capacity to turn on once the door is open. Strip curtains, rather, are industrial PVC fitted across the doorway allowing easy access to walk through, but quickly shutting behind, minimising costly temperature change.
-
Installing door alarms and red warning lights
Why? This is for you and your employees sake only, as they may help reduce the length of time that your cool room door stays open. After all, nobody likes nagging, and red warning lights can be that visual reminder that could improve your energy efficiency.
Consider these economical additions for your cool room.
Do Allfield Refrigeration and Mechanical service small companies?
We’ve tendered on a number of mechanical and refrigeration construct and design projects.
But we still have the time and commitment for small business refrigeration and air conditioning needs, too.
If my commercial refrigerator’s temperature keeps rising – how long until my produce starts to spoil?
There’s no one size fits all approach to this question. We do recommend calling a technician immediately if your commercial refrigerator’s temperature keeps rising without explanation, for obvious occupational health and safety reasons.
Consider transferring your produce to an alternative cooling unit if possible and minimise access to the malfunctioning refrigerator, in the meantime.
Is maintenance expensive?
When you weigh up the budget blowout that could arise from infrequent or ignored maintenance, plus the downtime and wasted produce – maintenance is a benefit worth paying for.
Did the above answer some or all of your commercial refrigeration questions?
Now is a great time to organise preventative maintenance for your commercial refrigeration systems and air conditioning units as the weather really starts to heat up.
