Replacing Outdated Refrigeration Units: What Restaurants Should Expect

If your restaurant’s cooler or freezer isn’t working like it used to, it might be time for a commercial refrigeration replacement. Upgrading old units is a smart move that can save you money, protect your food, and keep your kitchen running efficiently. Let’s look at what you can expect when it’s time to replace your outdated refrigeration equipment.

Signs It’s Time for a Replacement

Before jumping into the commercial refrigeration replacement process, it’s good to know the signs that your unit is failing. If temperatures are uneven, your food spoils faster, or you’re paying more in energy bills, these are clear warnings. Frequent breakdowns or loud noises are also signs your system might not last much longer.

Replacing an old unit with a modern, energy-efficient one can solve these problems and save you money in the long run.

Getting Ready for the Replacement

Planning is the first step toward a successful commercial refrigeration replacement. Our team at Putnam Mechanical starts with an on-site visit to assess your restaurant’s needs. We measure your space, talk about how much storage you need, and find the best options that fit your kitchen’s layout.

Choosing the right size and style of refrigeration unit is important. Too small, and you risk food safety issues. Too large, and you’ll waste energy. Our experts help you select a system that’s just right for your business, making sure your commercial refrigeration replacement is a smart investment.

The Installation Process

On the day of installation, our team will carefully remove the old unit. We make sure to disconnect everything safely to avoid damage or disruption to your kitchen. Then, we prepare the space for the new unit, which might mean adjusting the setup to fit the latest model properly.

Once the new unit is in place, we connect it to power and any necessary plumbing. After installation, we perform thorough testing to ensure the system is cooling correctly and efficiently. A good commercial refrigeration replacement should be seamless, leaving you with better performance and lower energy costs.

Limiting Downtime in Your Kitchen

We understand that time is money in the restaurant business. During the commercial refrigeration replacement, we work quickly to limit downtime. Our team can even schedule installation during your slower hours or off days to avoid interrupting service.

A quick, professional installation helps you get back to focusing on what you do best: serving customers.

Keeping Your New System Running Smoothly

After your commercial refrigeration replacement, it’s important to set up regular maintenance. Well-maintained units last longer and use less energy. With professional services, we can keep your new system in top condition with routine check-ups, filter changes, and inspections.

Preventive maintenance helps catch small issues before they turn into costly problems, giving you peace of mind.
