What is the Life Expectancy of My Commercial Refrigerator?

Not all commercial refrigerators are created equal. The compressor technology and cabinet durability greatly affect the cost of ownership.

What happened to all that clear, hard ice your commercial ice machine used to provide?

Simply attach IceZone® to the outside of your ice machine and let it go to work for you!

If you have technicians in your facility who have been given training and time by management to do the in house maintenance, you are truly fortunate.

Commercial Ice Machines are an important part of your operation. So how much money should you invest into your ice making operation?

Look for commercial ice makers with the Energy Star rating; the government is requiring both water and electric consumption control.

Undersizing is the most painful mistake because your customers get shortchanged or you are stuck running out to buy ice.

Proactive measures to keep your machine include utilizing a water filter and inspecting the evaporator every few weeks.

Chlorine and other minerals make the water have an after taste that can disagree with some.

Many times filters are not replaced due to a lack of easy access to replacement cartridges. In the long term, have a year’s supply on hand.
