How to choose the right commercial refrigeration contractor?
April 6th, 2021
As a business owner, you know that commercial refrigerators, freezers, cold rooms, ice machines, as well as heating and cooling systems are an essential part of the day to day functions of your business. Any breakdowns can cost you valuable time and money far beyond the duration of the actual malfunction. That’s why it is vital to choose the right commercial refrigeration contractor to keep your systems running smoothly so that you can keep your doors open.
Commercial refrigeration systems are a huge investment. As such, it is important to work with a reliable refrigeration team that understands your business and that you can count on to keep your commercial cooling equipment running at all times. In this post, the commercial refrigeration, heating and cooling experts at Frigotech in Gatineau share their insights on what to look for when choosing the best commercial refrigeration contractor for your business.
Your business demands immediate service
In our 30 years of experience, we’ve never received a call from a business owner asking us to stop in “when we get a chance, no rush”. When commercial refrigerators and cold rooms have a problem, we know that you need to have it fixed immediately. We appreciate that you may have a large amount of produce at risk and that you may not be able to provide service to your clients until the ice machine, refrigerator, freezer or cold room is fully repaired. “No rush” is not one of our service offerings!
Choose a commercial refrigeration contractor who can respond to your calls 24/7 and offer fast and full service when you need it. Not all contractors or maintenance companies offer emergency services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so be sure to ask when you are speaking with potential contractors.
Save time and money with a one-stop-shop
Choosing a commercial refrigeration professional who can help you at all stages of service will help to save you valuable time and money. The team at Frigotech, for example, can guide you through the best choices when purchasing your equipment, provide professional installation, ongoing maintenance and reliable repairs.
By offering all of these levels of service, we are able to become fully accustomed to the unique ins-and-outs of your refrigeration systems and how they work within your business. This familiarity allows us to trouble-shoot more quickly than those who are unfamiliar with your commercial refrigeration equipment.
Why make things more complicated by having a number of different contractors coming in and out? Choose a commercial refrigeration contractor who can stay with you from start to finish: sales, installation, maintenance and repairs.
Let us keep track of maintenance schedules
Business owners have enough on their minds, they shouldn’t have to keep track of when their refrigeration equipment needs serviced. When you are in the process of selecting the contractors that you want to start working with, inquire about what type of maintenance packages they offer.
Servicing requirements and schedules differ for each type of heating and cooling systems in your business:
- Walk-in cold room and walk-in freezers
- Ice machines
- Air conditioning / heating systems
- Condensers
- Evaporator
- Condenser / compressor units
- Refrigeration units
Choose a commercial refrigeration contractor who can commit to a maintenance contract for all of the heating and cooling systems in your business. Knowing that your systems will be regularly inspected and maintained will allow you to focus on running your business, instead of running around after parts and service providers if any of your equipment fails.
