The right walk in fridge unit helps you keep food and ingredients at optimum levels for safety and freshness, so that you’re not throwing away products before their use-by dates. This is especially important for restaurants, hotels and hospitals that need to comply with health and safety regulations.
Whether you’re looking to add an entire walk-in refrigerator or freezer, replace a malfunctioning refrigeration system, or upgrade to a more energy-efficient model, we have the refrigeration equipment to meet your needs. Investing in a new walk-in cooler is an investment, so it’s important to take the time to research your options. Choosing the right model will help you ensure that your walk-in is operating at peak efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Choosing the Right Walk-in Fridge Unit for Your Business
A key factor in determining your walk-in fridge or freezer’s functionality is its insulation. Consider the material that your walk-in is made of as well as the type of cooling system it uses. Galvalume, for example, is a durable finish that is typically stronger than aluminum and less prone to corrosion. It is available for outdoor walk-ins and offers protection from UV rays.
If you’re considering a top-mount system, be sure to look for one that is self-contained and pre-assembled. These units have the evaporator coil and compressor incorporated into a frame that is mounted on/in the ceiling or wall panels of your walk-in. This helps to maximize your walk-in’s usable space by ensuring that the evaporator coil isn’t infringing on your airspace. Also, make sure to consider a refrigerant drain pan and a pressure relief valve.
