At MTCSS, we recognise the importance of having an efficient, reliable cold room that runs all year round. But we also know how an inefficient, unreliable walk-in cold room can negatively impact your business and its day-to-day functioning.
This is why MTCSS offer cold room maintenance and refurbishment for your walk-in cold rooms and its retrospective parts, such as cold room doors.
So, what would happen if you don’t refurbish your cold room?
The simple answer to this question, is that your cold room will start to work less optimally and more inefficiently – resulting your cold room refrigeration units working harder; a higher level of energy usage; increasing your costs and potentially damaging or losing your products.
Your walk-in cold room is vital to your business operation if you need to protect your products from external conditions. This is why it is extremely important to refurbish your cold room, or simply book a maintenance check – because the outcomes for your business could be costly.
If your walk-in cold room doesn’t function safely, another large issue you need to recognise is the potential health and safety risks it poses to your employees..
Employee safety is a primary concern that all businesses must consider when implementing temperature-controlled rooms, such as a walk-in cold room. Poorly maintained cold room doors can result in injured members of the team, or even getting trapped within the cold room. The affects could be detrimental to your business and your employees.
Additionally, if you have any upcoming audits, a poor-quality cold room will most likely make you fail due to health and safety precautions – causing potential disruption to your business.
How do I know if my cold room needs to be refurbished?
Regularly checking your cold room for tell-tale signs of wear and need of maintenance is the easiest way to keep tabs on the status of your walk-in cold room’s quality.
Our team have put together a list of a factors to be conscious of and questions to ask yourself;
- Cold room panels – are the panels free from any dents/gouges/other damage?
- Cold room door – is this opening easily and safely? Are the cold room handles fixed and operational? Are the door gaskets in good condition?
- Cold room floor panels – are they non-slip and well maintained?
- Is the cold room free from any signs of ice build-up around the cold room door or floor?
- Is the temperature of the cold room what it should be?
If you answered ‘no’ to any of the above, then it is likely your cold room needs to be refurbished. You can send pictures of your cold room to sales@mtcss.flywheelsites.com or fill in one of our enquiry forms, so then we can assess the work that needs to be carried out to get your cold room back to full health.
