Most Popular Questions
How does a refrigeration system work?
Refrigeration systems remove heat from an enclosed space to keep it cool. This process uses a refrigerant that cycles through evaporation and condensation phases, transferring heat out of the system.
What types of refrigerants are used in modern systems?
Common refrigerants include R-134a, R-404A, and newer, environmentally friendly options like R-410A or R-32. The type depends on the system and its intended use.
How long do refrigeration systems typically last?
Commercial systems generally last 10–20 years with proper maintenance. Lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and the environment.
How can I prevent frost buildup in my system?
Some frost buildup in systems is normal and most systems will use a defrost cycle to remove frost. Excessive frost buildup may be due to incorrect setting of the unit, faulty door seals, or a lack of system maintenance. Schedule a consult with us today for options to prevent frost buildup.
What is the difference between commercial and residential refrigeration systems?
Commercial systems are typically larger, more powerful, and designed for heavy-duty, continuous operation, while residential systems are smaller and tailored for home use.
Can a refrigeration system double as a freezer?
Not typically. Refrigerators and freezers are designed for different temperature ranges and use different components to achieve their cooling requirements.
Do I have to change my system to comply with new EPA regulations?
While the EPA makes new regulations about what refrigerants can be made and used you may still be able to use your current system without any modifications. Schedule a consultation with us today to explore your options to comply with new regulations
