As the seasons change, so do the demands on your commercial refrigeration systems. From keeping cool in the summer heat to ensuring efficiency during winter chills, adjusting your maintenance routine can make a world of difference.
At ACRO Refrigeration, we’re here to help you stay ahead with proactive tips to keep your equipment running smoothly year-round.
Winter can cause dust and debris to build up, affecting airflow and system efficiency. Now’s the time to:
Clean evaporator coils and condenser fins
Sanitize drain pans
Remove and clean interior shelving
Check for:
Frayed hoses or wiring
Cracked seals or gaskets
Signs of corrosion or rust
Early repairs can prevent bigger problems down the line.
As outside temperatures rise, verify your refrigeration units are maintaining 1°C to 4°C (34°F to 39°F) to ensure food safety.
The heat puts pressure on your system. Check that:
Door gaskets are sealing properly
Insulation is intact to prevent cool air loss
Invest in smart thermostats or data loggers to track fluctuations and catch performance dips early.
Summer is peak load time for refrigeration. Book a service check with ACRO Refrigeration to ensure your system is running at top efficiency—and avoid mid-season breakdowns.
Colder weather is a great opportunity to:
Upgrade to energy-efficient components
Improve insulation
Switch to LED lighting inside units
Slightly warmer external temps may allow you to raise internal temps a few degrees without compromising safety—saving energy.
Holiday rush incoming? Make sure:
Your system can handle extra inventory
You’ve planned for potential temporary cooling needs
Keep an eye on:
Excess frost or ice in units
Clogged drains
Frozen fans or vents
Schedule defrosts as needed to prevent inefficiencies.
Ensure external coils are:
Clear of snow, ice, and debris
Accessible and functioning properly despite the weather
Winter downtime is a perfect opportunity to:
Check refrigerant levels
Inspect airflow paths
Look for system leaks
Being proactive with seasonal refrigeration maintenance helps you:
Increase equipment lifespan
Lower energy costs
Prevent costly breakdowns
