Do you need Commercial Refrigeration?
If you are a business owner, and you need to keep your stock of product cold, then commercial refrigeration can provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. As businesses grow, they often outgrow their refrigeration units. Quite a few small businesses have gotten by for years using residential refrigerators for their commercial business needs. However, residential refrigerators are not designed for the task of heavy use and storing excessive amounts of product. And, by commercial standards, residential refrigeration is not a reliable means to keep large amounts of perishable food stock safe.
Reliable cold storage is paramount for commercial kitchens and businesses that need to keep cold stocks. Commercial refrigeration such as coolrooms or walk-in freezers, commercial quality free-standing refrigerators, under counter refrigerators and reach-in freezers provide businesses safe food storage options.

- Do you need to keep your perishables out of the food “danger zone?”
- Do you want to keep your prepared food fresher, longer?
- Do you want to have your cold prepared food more accessible?

Quality, dependable commercial refrigeration is available, and it is available in a variety of types, configurations and sizes to meet you specific needs. Companies specializing in coolroom services can specially configure and install the ideal unit for you and your business, regardless of the limited space you may have. How is that possible?
It is possible, because professional commercial refrigeration companies today can easily design and construct a freezer room or coolroom to fit into any space you have. If you don’t have extra space, then professional coolroom services Melbourne can dismantle and relocate an existing freezer, or construct a special coolroom or freezer room outside your business.

Difference between Residential and Commercial Refrigeration
While all refrigeration units have one thing in common, they keep things cold; this is also the one thing that actually differentiates them. Residential refrigerators are specifically designed to keep your food at temperatures between 34°F and 40°F, which makes them more affordable than their commercial cousins, because the components they use are not industrial grade. Commercial walk-in freezers and refrigerator units are hardier because they are constructed using industrial components, which can maintain temperatures between -10°F and 0°F. With the ability to maintain lower temperature, food can be kept fresher and preserved longer, which is tremendously beneficial for any business that needs to keep food cold.
