When you think of refrigeration and why it is important, one of your first thoughts might be the home refrigerator that you use to keep your food and beverages cold and safe for consumption. However, there is much more to refrigeration that many people don’t consider on a commercial level. Refrigeration has innovated and changed businesses from restaurants and grocery stores to hospitals and department stores among others. Almost all businesses and companies rely on commercial refrigeration to operate at full performance on a daily basis. There are many reasons why commercial refrigeration is so important and why it is being used in commercial businesses across the country.
Restaurants & Grocery Stores
Restaurants and grocery stores rely upon commercial refrigeration to keep their food and beverages at exact temperatures for safe consumption. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that refrigerated products must be kept at 41 Degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Ideally, 38 degrees Fahrenheit is the best temperature for refrigeration. Failing to keep inventory and products at an exact temperature can result in failed health inspections or sick customers from foodborne illness and bacteria contamination. By having commercial refrigeration systems running in working order at all times, restaurants and grocery stores can safely provide food and drinks while staying within FDA requirements at all times. Commercial refrigeration is also needed to help keep food costs down. If temperatures are not kept at the proper levels, food will need to be thrown out resulting in thousands of dollars in lost inventory. Having the proper commercial refrigeration services in place helps restaurants and grocery stores to properly maintain all of their products and food inventory while keeping their customers and inventory safe.
Hospitals & Healthcare Services
Hospitals and healthcare services rely upon commercial refrigeration for keeping their equipment sterile and workplaces safe. Keeping life-saving items such as blood properly refrigerated is vital in helping save lives and properly perform surgeries. Without proper refrigeration at all times, these valuable life-saving tools are rendered useless and could be the difference between life and death in surgery. All hospitals and healthcare providers must always have proper refrigeration at all times. Colder temperatures also help prevent the spread of bacteria which is extremely important when dealing with sick patients and surgeries. Proper refrigeration helps keep bacteria at a minimum and allows for optimal performance within the hospital.
Other Commercial Businesses
Commercial Businesses such as Movie Theaters, Banks, Data & Technology Centers, Retail Chains & more also heavily rely upon the use of commercial refrigeration to run their daily operations at optimal performance. These companies use commercial refrigeration for food & drink storage and equipment performance and operation. It is vital for these companies to always have fully operational commercial refrigeration to operate daily. Not having commercial refrigeration or fully operation refrigeration at all times can cost a company thousands of dollars as well as hurt their brands reputation and image.
