From walk-in freezers to ice machines, Cooper Mechanical Services’ refrigeration experts handle all types of equipment you need to keep products safe and cool.
Tell-Tale Signs of Problems
We often hear customers tell us, “My businesses refrigerator is still running, but it doesn’t seem to be as cold as it used to.” If you’ve got a temperature log, either digital or with pen and paper, you may see changing average temps. Often it is seen anecdotally–the refrigerated butter is softer than usual, for example. Learn more about common signs of refrigeration failure and how Cooper Mechanical Services can help.
Avoid a Failing Score from SCDHEC
Every restaurant’s fear is a sub-par inspection. SCDHEC can shut a business down if refrigeration units are holding proper temperatures. Over 41 degrees and you may be in the “danger zone,” a prime temperature for bacteria growth. Check out this blog post to learn more about SCDHEC refrigeration regulations and how to avoid an inspection that could cost you a lot in lost revenue and damaged reputation.
Clean Refrigerator Coils Yourself
One of the easiest ways to keep a refrigeration unit working efficiently and extend its life is to clean the coils. As long as you can slide the unit out and get to the coils in back, you can clean them with common restaurant cleaning products. Read this popular blog to learn how to clean your refrigerator coils and why it is so important.
