How to choose the right type of Commercial Freezer

A commercial walk-in freezer comes in varying sizes to suit different businesses. Selecting the right refrigerator system and hiring the right HVAC contractors is an essential step. Nowadays, several refrigeration systems come with inbuilt features like lights, stainless steel bodies, and maximum storage space. The stainless steel body offers an aesthetic to the kitchen décor and is much easier to maintain. The selection of the correct size depends upon the requirement of the business. 

Consult an Alturas HVAC contractor in Los Angeles to perform an inspection and analysis so they may suggest the most suitable commercial freezer for you with accuracy and precision. Normally, commercial walk-in freezers are available in four different sizes and options such as display freezer, glass top freezer, blast chiller, and drawer refrigeration.

• A blast chiller is used to chill the food much faster than a domestic freezer. It is used in food storage areas where the owner has to meet specific food safety and handling regulations. A Blast Chiller is able to lock in essential nutrients and vitamins of the food while inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
• Display freezers are installed in shops and stores where customers can see through the glass door and fetch their required food items. 
• The glass-top freezer allows customers to view the contents of the unit without opening the top. 
• Drawer refrigerators are installed just below the kitchen countertop and slide outward just like conventional cabinet doors. They are accessed from above, making it easier to fetch, grab and organize items. 

For large food storage centers or commercial purposes, central refrigeration system installations are done for commercial purposes. So, choose a commercial freezer according to your necessity and requirement.

Factors to consider before installing a commercial walk-in freezer

There are a number of factors to consider before installing a commercial freezer. 

• How much space is available in the area where you intend to install the freezer?
• How often access is required?
• Where are the power sockets?
• Be sure there is proper ventilation around the freezer in the area where it will operate. 
• Make sure all accessories of the freezer are installed (i.e. shelves, shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in. 
• Be sure the unit has dropped down to the desired temperature before loading it with the food products.
• Be sure the required compressor voltage is being supplied at all times. Low or high voltage can affect the refrigeration unit.  
• All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Refer to the electrical requirements on the nameplate.  
• Be sure the unit has its own dedicated outlet.  Do not use an extension cord. 

It is always recommended to refer to HVAC equipment installation professionals who can come and provide maintenance and installation services without any hassle.  Call Alturas Contractors in Los Angeles for an efficient commercial Freezer installation for a smooth and pleasant installation experience.
