Which Industries Need Commercial Refrigeration?

Nearly every business that handles perishable goods relies on commercial refrigeration, including:

  • Restaurants & Bars – Storing food, drinks, and draft beer systems
  • Grocery Stores & Supermarkets – Keeping produce, dairy, and meats fresh
  • Hospitals & Pharmacies – Preserving medications and lab samples

How Does Commercial Refrigeration Work?

Commercial refrigeration systems use refrigerants to transfer heat out of storage compartments, keeping contents cold. Key components include:

  • Compressor – The “heart” of the system, circulating refrigerant
  • Condenser – Releases heat from the refrigerant
  • Evaporator – Absorbs heat inside the unit
  • Expansion Valve – Regulates refrigerant flow

If any of these parts fail, your entire system could shut down. Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns.

5 Signs You Need Commercial Refrigeration Repair

  1. Excessive Frost or Condensation – Could indicate a failing thermostat or refrigerant leak.
  2. Loud or Constant Motor Noise – Often a sign of compressor issues.
  3. Food Spoiling Too Quickly – Means your unit isn’t maintaining proper temps.
  4. Temperature Fluctuations – Could be due to a faulty thermostat or airflow problem.
  5. Skyrocketing Energy Bills – Inefficient systems waste power.

Don’t ignore these warning signs! A small issue today can become a major expense tomorrow.

5 Essential Maintenance Tips for Commercial Refrigeration

  1. Check Door Seals Monthly – Worn gaskets let cold air escape.
  2. Clean Condenser Coils Regularly – Dirty coils reduce efficiency.
  3. Monitor Thermostat Accuracy – Use a thermometer to verify temps.
  4. Keep Units Well-Stocked – Helps maintain stable temperatures.
  5. Schedule Professional Maintenance – Prevents unexpected breakdowns.

I used Frank Gay for electrical services. I wanted to have my outdated light fixture upgraded to something more modern and classy. My technician was Mario and he was incredible! Very fast and efficient service. He was also very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company!

Michael Gilbert was very knowledgeable and helpful with the repair process. He also made recommendations for repairs that we didn’t know were issues until he showed us the problems. He provided us pricing for the repairs itemized and combined. He is an all around good guy to talk to while he was getting the job done. In the end everything came out just right. Thanks Michael take care!
