REGULAR MAINTENANCE CAN SAVE YOU FROM COSTLY PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN

By performing a few simple maintenance tips, you can help keep your commercial
refrigeration in tip-top shape:

  • Inspect the condenser coil.If your refrigeration is self-contained, checking
    the condenser coil can help you see potential problems in the future.
    The location of the condenser coil depends on which model of refrigerator
    that you have. The first place to look would be at the top or bottom of
    the refrigerator, behind a cover. It may also be on either side or on
    the back. You may need a couple of tools to access the condenser coil.
  • So that your commercial refrigeration doesn’t have to work harder
    than it needs to, it’s important to make sure that the door seals
    are all in good shape. Check thoroughly for any cracks or tears.
  • If possible, inspect the drain line outlet. Clear the end of the drain
    to avoid any clogs.

Even when performing regular maintenance, things can still go wrong. When
they do, don’t hesitate to
contact Carter Services so that we can help.
