2. Choosing the Right Refrigeration Equipment for Your Business
Effective refrigeration is vital for many different businesses. Without it the items that have been stored
could easily spoil, the outcome of which could very well end up producing a variety of different health
risks, depending of course on what exactly has been stored. With the above in mind it is important to
choose the correct refrigerator for your company.
Here are some important considerations that should help you to choose as wisely as possible.
Size is Important
The best place to start when looking for commercial refrigeration equipment is to consider just how
large a refrigerator do you actually need. Additionally, it is vital to make sure that you have enough
space to house it properly. Getting the tape measure out to verify dimensions could well save a lot of
stress at a later stage.
Once you have your measurements it is sensible to add on a couple of inches to the back and sides. This
will allow for proper amounts of airflow. Without this there is a real danger that your machine will not
get the ventilation that it needs, resulting in it having to work harder to keep its contents cool.
Easy to Move
After you have decided on the size of your new refrigerator it is probably a good idea to think about
whether or not you want legs or casters. Some commercial refrigeration manufactures fit casters to the
base of their units. This makes things much easier when it comes to getting in behind the fridge for
cleaning purposes. Whilst it might not seem like a big deal presently, it can make a huge difference
when a health and safety inspector wants to check behind your fridges.
Solid vs. Glass Doors
Glass door refrigeration can make perfect front of house display units. This helps users to see exactly
what is available before even opening the door. Of course, the important thing here is that the contents
should always be neat and tidy. Glass door refrigerators are perfect for showing off clutter and
disorganisation. This is something that is sure to put off the people that are using these devices.
The alternative to the glass door versions is the regular solid door units. Not only do these units tend to
be more energy efficient than their glass door counterparts, but they are great at hiding disorganised
storage areas.
Straight or Slanted Shelving
If you have opted to purchase glass fronted commercial refrigeration units then it better to combine
this with slanted shelving. This will go a long way to helping with the display aesthetics. In the event of
using you refrigerator purely as a storage area then there really is no need to go for the extravagance of
slanted shelves, straight ones will work perfectly well.

3. One final word relating to storage, it is sensible to consider a unit that allows for the shelving to be
adjusted in small increments. Something around an inch should prove valuable when the time comes to
store different sized items.
