Refrigeration System Maintenance
Why It Matters
Servicing a refrigeration system is crucial for regulatory compliance, significant cost savings (energy and repairs), and environmental protection. Regular maintenance ensures the system runs efficiently, safely, and reliably, which is vital for both domestic and commercial users
- Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Refrigeration is one of the largest users of electricity in NZ. Well-maintained systems operate more efficiently, consuming less power to maintain temperature, which directly translates to lower energy bills. Simple tasks like cleaning condenser coils can yield substantial savings, often paying for the maintenance costs within months.
- Prevents Costly Breakdowns & Downtime: Regular, preventative maintenance catches minor issues (like low refrigerant levels or worn door seals) before they escalate into major, expensive problems, such as a compressor failure. This minimises unexpected downtime, which is critical for businesses in food service, pharmaceuticals, and other industries relying on consistent cooling.
- Extends Equipment Lifespan: A well-cared-for system experiences less wear and tear and generally lasts longer, protecting your initial investment and delaying the need for premature replacement.
- Product Integrity & Safety: For commercial settings, consistent and safe temperatures are paramount for preserving perishable goods, ensuring product quality, and meeting health and safety regulations. Temperature fluctuations caused by a faulty system can lead to significant product spoilage and potential health hazards.
- Environmental Responsibility: By maintaining system efficiency and preventing the release of harmful HFCs (potent greenhouse gases with high Global Warming Potential), regular servicing contributes to New Zealand's environmental goals and efforts to combat climate change.
