Signs That It Is Time to Upgrade Your Refrigeration System

There are different types of commercial refrigeration systems:

• Walk-in Coolers
• Rooftop Systems
• Ice Machines

How do you know when you need to upgrade your refrigeration system?

There are common signs that there is a problem such as leaks, noises and inconsistent temperatures.

To help eliminate those common problems a commercial maintenance plan for your refrigeration system can be a life saver.

Refrigeration systems do not last forever. Here are some common signs that it is time to upgrade your current commercial refrigeration system:

1. Age of system – when properly maintaining your cooler, rooftop or ice machine refrigeration system, it should last between 10 – 15 years. If your system is over 10 years old, you should start looking into replacement options. Added benefit of a new system is that a higher efficiency system should help cut down on electricity costs.
2. Constant system repairs – if the common problem signs keep coming up for your system, it is time to start looking into upgrading your system.
3. Noises that done stop – if your system has a whining, squealing, grinding or other odd sound, it might be time to upgrade your system.
4. System costs – if your energy bills keep increasing (and it is not the electric company making the increase), your refrigeration system could be pulling more energy due to not performing as efficiently as it used to.
