Frequently Asked Questions
How long does commercial kitchen equipment installation take?
Installation time varies significantly: single appliance with existing connections 2-4 hours; single appliance requiring new utility connections 4-8 hours; full kitchen buildout 1-3 weeks depending on scope, permit timelines, and contractor scheduling. Work with your installer to create a realistic timeline that accounts for utility work, inspections, and health department walkthroughs before opening.
When should I repair versus replace commercial kitchen equipment?
Consider replacement when: repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, the equipment is over 75% of its expected lifespan, parts are no longer available, the equipment frequently breaks down, or energy costs are significantly higher than modern alternatives. Repair when: the equipment is relatively new, the repair is straightforward, and the total repair cost is well below replacement value. A qualified technician can help evaluate your specific situation.
My walk-in cooler temperature is rising. What should I do first?
1) Check if the condenser unit is running. 2) Inspect condenser coils for dirt and debris — blocked coils are a common cause. 3) Ensure walk-in door gaskets are sealing properly. 4) Check if evaporator fan is running. 5) Look for ice buildup on evaporator coils (defrost system failure). If temperature is rising significantly, move temperature-sensitive inventory and call a technician immediately — this is an emergency situation.
