Cold Room Repair & Installation FAQs
What should I do if my cold room stops cooling?
Keep the door closed as much as possible, check that the unit has power and that the evaporator isn't blocked with ice, and call us with the temperature reading and any alarm or error. Move high-risk stock to working fridges if you can.
How often should a cold room be serviced?
Commercial cold rooms benefit from planned servicing every three to six months, depending on how hard they work. Regular servicing catches leaks, dirty coils and worn parts before they cause a breakdown.
Do you install new cold rooms?
Yes. We can advise on size, temperature range and placement, then install the cold room and refrigeration system.
