Regular and professional servicing of your commercial refrigeration systems is crucial for ensuring their optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity. Our REFCOM F-Gas certified engineers provide comprehensive servicing across London and the M25, tailored to the specific needs of your business and equipment.
Preventative maintenance is more cost-effective than reactive repairs. Our detailed servicing checks identify potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns, ensuring your refrigeration units operate reliably and comply with all relevant regulations, including F-Gas requirements for leak checks and record keeping.
The Importance of Regular Refrigeration Servicing
Consistent operation of commercial refrigeration is vital for businesses handling perishable goods, such as restaurants, supermarkets, and cold storage facilities. Neglecting routine servicing can lead to decreased efficiency, increased energy consumption, and ultimately, system failure at critical times. Our servicing protocols are designed to mitigate these risks.
Regular maintenance ensures that all components, from compressors and condensers to evaporators and controls, are functioning correctly. This proactive approach helps to maintain precise temperature control, preserve product quality, and reduce the likelihood of unexpected downtime, protecting your inventory and business operations.

Frequently asked questions
How often should commercial refrigeration systems be serviced?
The frequency of servicing depends on the type of equipment, its usage intensity, and the environment. Typically, we recommend at least one to two services per year. High-use or critical systems may benefit from more frequent checks to ensure optimal performance and F-Gas compliance.
What are F-Gas regulations, and how do they affect my business?
F-Gas regulations are European Union laws aimed at controlling emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment. They mandate regular leak checks, proper refrigerant handling, and record-keeping for systems containing certain refrigerants. Non-compliance can result in significant fines.
Can you service all brands of refrigeration equipment?
Yes, our F-Gas certified engineers are highly experienced in working on and servicing a wide range of commercial refrigeration equipment from various manufacturers. We possess the technical knowledge and tools required to maintain diverse systems effectively.
What happens if a leak is detected during servicing?
If a refrigerant leak is detected during servicing, our engineers will promptly inform you, identify the source of the leak, and recommend the necessary repair. We are equipped to carry out F-Gas compliant repairs and re-commission the system to prevent further environmental harm and maintain operational efficiency.
Do you offer emergency breakdown services for refrigeration systems?
Yes, alongside our scheduled servicing, we provide 24/7 emergency breakdown and repair services for commercial refrigeration systems across London and the M25. We understand that refrigeration failures can be critical, so our team is ready to respond rapidly to minimise disruption to your business.
