Top Reasons to Maintain Your Coolroom and Freezer Room before the Holidays

01 December 2022

Food service and retail businesses take advantage of coolrooms and freezer rooms to store a wide array of perishable products. They also use these cold storage solutions to keep products that have been recently opened or prepared.

If your business maximises these cold storage solutions, you already know their importance to your operations. The presence of a coolroom and freezer room can ensure that your products’ shelf life can be extended for a few days. They can also preserve the taste, nutrients, and other qualities that will make them still useful and consumable upon storing them for days.

Holidays, however, are getting closer. Without proper upkeep of your coolroom and freezer room, they might not be able to preserve your items effectively. So, before the holidays come, you must already start maintaining them. Here are some reasons why they should be maintained as early as possible.

Regulate Energy Use

One of the top reasons why you should maintain your coolroom and freezer room before the holidays is to regulate their energy use. These cold storage solutions are expected to draw a lot of power as they operate every day. And with a higher number of products being stored, they can easily increase the amount of energy being consumed. Failure to maintain them optimally, however, will only force them to utilise energy way beyond their usual power requirements, increasing your energy bills by a massive amount in the long run.

Maintain Performance

Another reason why you must maintain your coolroom and freezer room is to maintain their performance. Largely connected to the first reason, your coolroom and freezer room can only work properly and draw less energy if their components have been checked and serviced properly. Seals, doors, walls, cooling components, and others should all be checked to see if they can still carry out their respective functions. Without functional components, your items may not be preserved optimally. They can also lead to ice and mould build-up.

Minimise Product Loss

As the owner of the coolroom and freezer room, you must have them inspected and serviced before the holidays to minimise product loss. Your cold storage solutions, as mentioned earlier, operate every day. And without regular maintenance, some of their components might be faulty already. Failure to service these damaged components will only lead to the spoilage of the items. Keeping spoiled products inside these rooms can then damage most of your products, which can lead to a sharp decline in your revenues and sales.

Guarantee Safety

One more reason why you must maintain your coolroom and freezer room before the holidays is to guarantee the safety of your employees. Your employees regularly visit your coolroom and freezer room to store and get some items needed by your business. Without regular upkeep and servicing, your rooms might already be filled with ice that can cause slips and falls. They may also develop some moulds, which can pose health risks to the employees. Opting for upkeep before the holidays can ensure that the rooms will be free from hazards.
