For business owners, their refrigeration units are one of the most important assets they have. This is especially true for restaurant owners, or those who store fresh ingredients or supplies. As such, it’s important to ensure that their commercial refrigeration units run perfectly throughout the year. However, they could run into issues throughout their lifespan. In this post, JC Refrigeration, the top HVAC company, shares the common commercial refrigeration issues.
Temperature Issues
The main function of your refrigeration unit is to keep the food inside of it cool or frozen. When your fridge can’t maintain the proper temperature, then it’s a big problem. Some of the common causes of this issue include refrigerant leaks, poor door sealing, a compressor or even a thermostat issue. Its positioning can even be a factor since it might not be able to circulate properly. You’ll need to enlist the help of an HVAC specialist to diagnose and solve the issue.
Compressor and Evaporator Issues
Your refrigerator will only function if the compressor and evaporator coil are functioning properly. They have to be maintained and cleaned regularly by your HVAC technician. You can refer to the cleaning instructions in your owner’s manual. However, if your condenser is heating up, or the evaporator is freezing up, make sure that it’s inspected by a certified contractor.
Ice and Frost Buildup
While refrigeration equipment is made to keep ingredients fresh, you might be surprised to know that seeing ice buildup on it is actually a sign that something is wrong. One of the main causes of this issue is a refrigerant leak. Do not attempt to fix this on your own and call on your refrigeration repair specialist to assist you with the issue.
