Can You Afford Equipment Failure?
Refrigeration equipment can be a major source of wasted money and product if not maintained properly. Downtime can cost you money and product loss, and be a major source of aggravation. Many businesses cannot survive if their food storage equipment fails. Since 70% of the time problems arise from poor or no maintenance, it is imperative to properly service such vital equipment.

Refrigeration Equipment:
Refrigeration units should be checked and maintained every 3 months. Most equipment has a "run time" of 8-12 times more than a residential air conditioner has in the heart of its season. If you combine this with the fact that the equipment does not use any type of air filtration and that build up on the coil is inevitable. A dirty coil means less efficiency and certain equipment failure. Checking the equipment can also identify peripheral issues that can damage major components.
Ice Machines:
Ice machines can have a "run time" of almost 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; causing build-up on the evaporator, condenser, water circuit and water filter to occur at an incredible rate. Clean ice machines produce ice at a faster rate than dirty ice machines. This is because a dirty condenser coil doesn't allow heat to be dissipated to condenser the refrigerant, and a dirty evaporator slows or stops the transference of heat. Keeping the condenser coil clean is critical to unit operation. The evaporator should be kept clean of build-up for proper operation, plus that "build-up" is packed with unhealthy microbes. Cleaning the coils and replacing the water filter should be done every three months to ensure proper operation and clean ice.
