How to Maintain the Condition of Walk-In Coolers and Freezers

It is no secret that running a Tampa restaurant is tough everyday work. You have to make sure that the food is always fresh, the entire place is pristine clean and that you have enough servers to accommodate your customers.

What about your walk-in coolers and freezers? How important are these pieces of equipment in your restaurant? Well, the simple answer is that it will be very costly if your commercial freezers are broken. Once you notice that your coolers are not cold anymore, panic will overcome you because this might lead to plenty of spoilage.

What do you do? In Tampa, there is always a commercial refrigerator repair company that can help you fix your walk-in coolers and freezers. However, the time it will take to repair your coolers will depend on the extent of the damage. Thus, if you can, try and maintain the condition of your freezers to avoid huge problems and costly repairs.

• Clean your condenser- Dust can easily settle on your compressor coils and when this happens, your refrigerator’s compressor will not work efficiently as it used to. As a result, your compressor works harder and uses more energy. Even if you're fine with paying the expensive electricity bill, your compressor will be burned out and will be pretty much useless. Even the commercial refrigerator repair company might not be able to do anything with it anymore.
  
•  Clear the drains- Your walk-in coolers and freezers have a drain where condensation escapes. The excess liquid to the drain goes to a drip pan where the water heats up and evaporates. However, if the drain becomes blocked, the condensation will not escape. Rather, the condensation will fill the interior spaces of the freezer and will build-up. This will make the condenser work hard and eventually lead to burning out.
  
• Cover Acidic Foods- The commercial refrigerator repair company in Tampa will recommend that you always keep the acidic foods covered inside the freezer. The acidity level of the food can actually contribute to the corrosion of your walk-in coolers and freezers. Pickles and tomatoes look innocent but it can eat through your refrigerants if you keep them exposed.

Although finding a Tampa commercial refrigerator repair company will not be a challenge, it is still best to keep your coolers and freezers in good working order. Repairs are expensive and such problems can really inconvenience you.
