Tips to extend the lifespan of your refrigeration equipment


Refrigeration equipment is an essential investment for any hospitality business, so keeping it in optimal condition not only improves performance but also reduces costs and extends its lifespan.

Here are 4 fundamental keys to caring for your display cases, refrigerators, wine coolers, and more.

✅ 1. Regular cleaning: more important than you think

Frequent cleaning prevents the accumulation of dust, grease, or dirt that can obstruct the ventilation system or damage internal components.

Practical tips:

  • Clean the seals with water and neutral soap.

  • Do not use abrasive products on stainless steel.

  • Clean the evaporators and fans at least once a month.

A clean unit is an efficient and quiet unit.

✅ 2. Preventive maintenance: the secret of professionals

Conducting periodic checks can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your equipment by several years.

Maintenance checklist:

  • Check the thermostat operation.

  • Monitor the internal temperature levels.

  • Ensure that the drainage is not blocked.

✅ 3. Proper location: key to performance

The position of the equipment directly influences its operation and energy consumption.

Keep in mind:

  • Avoid placing the unit next to heat sources (ovens, stoves).

  • Ensure it has sufficient space for ventilation.

  • Never block the grills or air intakes.

?️ A well-placed unit works less... and lasts longer.

✅ 4. Technical reviews: detect what is not visible in time

Even if your equipment seems to be working well, a professional review can detect hidden failures before they turn into breakdowns.

We recommend:

  • Conduct a technical review every 6 months.

  • Request a diagnosis if you notice noises, leaks, or increased consumption.

  • Replace worn parts before they affect overall performance.
