Why Grocery Stores Need Comprehensive Refrigeration and Preventive HVAC Maintenance
Comprehensive refrigeration and preventive HVAC maintenance are vital to keeping your equipment function at its best, saving money on food that spoils early. In Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana we at Market Equipment offer premiere quality preventive and maintenance for your refrigeration and HVAC systems.
We offer a variety of products to help keep your stores up to code and performing at its optimal efficiency. From start, with the install, to continual care, varying departments. We have it all.
Refrigeration Preventive Maintenance
To get the most out of your equipment, make a checklist that you need to perform regularly to ensure it is working optimally. This ensures that it does not break down or is optimizing its function. If you only do emergency service it will cost more and you will not get as long of a “life” out of your machine.
In order to decrease the likelihood of your walk-in cooler dying on you in the middle of a workday and spoiling your inventory, you’ll want to keep up with your checkups. We service all aspects of your refrigeration and HVAC needs.
Evaporators-Coolers
Evaporators and coolers can cause ice accumulation over the evaporator coils which can cause ineffective cooling. Examples of how we clean evaporators for six months we will:
- Tighten the connections for the electrical panels.
- Making sure your fans are working properly.
- Checking the defrosting heaters so they are able to transfer heat to the evaporator coil correctly.
- Using a soapy bleach water solution you are able to clean the drain pan and check for proper drainage.
- Lastly, you need to use a commercial-grade cleaning foam to clean the evaporator coil surface.
Compressor Units and Condensers
We also service compressors and condenser units for your systems. We wash and clean your units and perform all that your manufacturer requires. Most importantly on all aspects of your unit, we start with a visual inspection. From this, we are able to see if anything besides the routine required by your manufacturer needs to be done.
1. Compressor
Similar to the evaporators and coolers you will need to check wires, fuses, regular cleaning. Tightening connectors and ensuring none of the fuses are blown. Checking to make sure the oil in the compressor hasn’t gotten too cold and thickening which can result in a blown compressor.
2. Condensers
Most importantly keeping a clean work area around the condenser is vital, but no matter how clean your area is you will still need to clean your condensers. To ensure you won’t need to recharge your condenser, which is an expensive repair, regular cleaning is key.
HVAC System Maintenance
Again starting with a visual inspection we will be able to make an estimate of any extra work that your equipment might need to do. It also requires regular cleaning and tune-ups.
We offer assistance with furnace and heating units, air conditioning, rooftop units, make-up systems, ventilation, and exhaust fans as well as chillers. Our technicians are in continual training to make sure to provide the most comprehensive service for you and your machines.
Regular Maintenance
Here at Market Equipment, we offer both emergency and regular maintenance for your equipment and refrigerator. We offer estimates as well as on-site visits. By keeping up with your equipment needs you are extending its life as well as more efficient output from it.
Another reason to perform regular services is to not only prevent breakdowns but also to observe your equipment for any potential problems before they break more than just one part. The most important thing you can do between services is keeping your area clean. We will ensure a complete clean during your check, but the daily cleaning of the area is important.
