A comprehensive PM program should include: scheduled inspections at manufacturer-recommended intervals, cleaning of condenser coils and filters, calibration of temperature controls, inspection and testing of safety systems, lubrication of moving parts, replacement of wear items (gaskets, filters, belts), refrigerant level checks, combustion analysis for gas equipment, and detailed documentation for each visit. Avoid programs that are just a visual inspection without hands-on service.

CFESA (Commercial Food Equipment Service Association) certification is the industry standard for commercial kitchen equipment technicians. Certified technicians have passed rigorous examinations on electrical, refrigeration, and gas systems. When you hire a CFESA-certified tech, you can trust they have the knowledge to properly diagnose and repair commercial kitchen equipment safely and effectively.

Kitchen equipment emergencies include: walk-in cooler/freezer temperature rising (food inventory at risk), gas leak or smell, fire suppression system discharge, electrical sparks or burning smells, complete loss of cooking equipment during service hours, dishwasher failure during a busy shift, or any situation creating an immediate food safety risk. These situations require immediate professional attention and may require temporary closure.
