Altoona Commercial Refrigeration, Cooking & HVAC FAQs
Routine maintenance can help reduce the need for emergency repairs while also lowering the amount of energy and water used to keep these systems working.
The frequency with which you require commercial refrigeration servicing ranges from once every quarter to once every six months. It is determined by the type of system and facilities in use.
Dirty condenser coils are one of the most prevalent causes of a commercial refrigerator not cooling. These coils aid in the cooling of refrigerants, resulting in cool air for the refrigerator. However, accumulated dirt, dust, and grease can hinder coil performance. In commercial refrigerator storage compartments, this can result in higher temperatures and food spoilage.
Also, double-check the doors to ensure they close correctly. A rubber gasket around the refrigerator door creates a barrier that keeps cold air in and warm air out. The hinges on the door also guarantee that it is correctly positioned and closes entirely. If the rubber gasket is damaged or torn, cold air can exit, and warm air can enter, causing the interior temperature to rise.
When the industrial oven does not achieve the correct temperature or becomes too hot, it is mainly due to a malfunctioning, faulty, or uncalibrated thermostat. If you are unfamiliar with checking for a properly calibrated thermostat, you will need to hire a professional to install a thermometer inside the oven and adjust your thermostat to the desired temperature. If the flame dies before reaching temperature, or if there is a temperature variation of 5-10 degrees, your thermostat has to be adjusted. Calibration should always be performed by a trained expert.
