Are you Ready for Fall/Winter?
It may seem hard to believe, but another summer has come and gone and fall is right around the corner. Before you know it, Fall will turn into Winter. Is your walk-in cooler or freezer ready?
To make sure that your cooler or freezer is ready for the impending weather, now is a good time to do a thorough inspection. Check your panel seams for any signs of damaged gaskets. Also, be sure to check your door gasket for any signs of damage or wear, and replace as necessary. Make sure to inspect your door hardware such as your latch and strike, hinges, door closer, and palm release to make sure they are all in good working condition.
Next, make sure to have your condenser and coil(s) checked for proper performance. This should be done by a licensed professional. Your condenser and coil contain moving parts, and need to be maintained just like your daily vehicle.
Do You Need an Insulated Floor?
Many often wonder whether or not they need an insulated floor for their walk-in cooler or freezer. The answer to that question can vary greatly. The general rule of thumb is that freezers always need an insulated floor unless it is being placed on an insulated concrete slab.
But, what about coolers? Coolers, as long as they are sitting on concrete, typically do not need an insulated floor. This is because coolers usually maintain a temperature of 35 degrees or above, meaning they aren’t a risk to buckle your concrete.
An insulated floor is needed for a cooler when it’s NOT sitting on concrete. If you place a cooler without an insulated floor on a wooden floor for example, it will have lots of condensation issues, and eventually rot out the wooden floor. In summary, an insulated floor will be needed for a cooler unless it is sitting on concrete.
