Your business relies on your walk-in cooler. Of course, at Johansen & Anderson, we\u2019re happy to come out to your commercial building or place of business to perform any repairs that your walk-in cooler may need. But it would be much nicer for you if that could be avoided! What\u2019s the best way to make sure your walk-in cooler won\u2019t need frequent repairs? By getting regular maintenance done. Here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use Causes Wear and Tear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t just send your walk-in cooler off on a week\u2019s vacation. It is always needed, and so it is always working. This means that wear and tear is inevitable. Moving parts have lubrication, but that will wear away with constant movement. Motors have bearings to ease motion, but they will grind down eventually. And the compressor is always working so hard! It\u2019s easy for it to get overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time Causes Problems, Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simple passage of time has an effect on everything, and your walk-in cooler is no exception. Parts such as door seals can become brittle with age and fail to close the cooler tightly. Dust accumulates on coils and prevents proper airflow. The only way to stay on top of all of this, to have everything cleaned or replaced or adjusted as often as necessary, is with regular routine maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Improves Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a walk-in cooler is struggling, lacking in lubricant, covered in dust, or has parts that have become misaligned, it will have to work harder just to get the same job done. The compressor will need to run more of the time. This means it will consume more energy\u2014and you probably aren\u2019t interested in paying more every time your electric bill comes due!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Extends Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to reducing the frequency of repair needs in the short term, maintenance has a huge long-term benefit. Most manufacturers suggest that their walk-in coolers will have a lifespan of around fifteen years. But it\u2019s not likely to last that long without proper care. Anything you can do to reduce wear and tear and the impacts of aging will extend your cooler\u2019s life expectancy, and maintenance is the best thing you can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenance Reduces the Risk of Waste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The worst thing that can happen when you have a walk-in cooler as part of your business is for it to break down and for the contents to be compromised by an increase in temperature. Whether you\u2019ve got medications and vaccines, gourmet delicacies, or bait for fishing, losing a cooler full of stock can be a huge expense! Don\u2019t let that happen to you. Make sure you get regular service for your walk-in coolers in Joliet, IL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
