The Green Side of Commercial Refrigeration

Going Green With Commercial Equipment

By Carl Cramer

Doing your part for the environment is just as important in your place of business as it is in your home. Going green is not just a fad anymore. It is important to you and your community as well as being friendly to the planet. Once considered expensive, it is now much more reasonable to upgrade your refrigeration, heating and other commercial appliances.

What can you do to help keep the environment clean and upgrade your business environment at the same time? First, examine information available about the company that you are hoping to use and see if they can provide you with clean, energy efficient units such as coolers, freezers, HVAC, ice machines, beverage machines and commercial kitchen equipment. Also examine their service and maintenance agreements. Many companies will offer ways of helping you help the environment. Maintenance is a crucial way that you can help safeguard the air we breathe. Some older A/C units may be leaking a form of Freon or other refrigeration gasses that can be harmful to the planet by affecting the ozone layer surrounding our planet. Even a slow leak can influence the efficiency of your refrigeration and A/C systems. Many companies offer a service to recapture any gasses from the system and can dispose of the gasses safely.

Refrigerating and heating systems should be checked at least twice a year to ensure the system is compliant and not putting out any harmful or dangerous emissions. Keeping your commercial refrigeration systems in optimal running condition will also save you operating capital. An efficient system will require less energy to operate as well as reducing the need for fossil fuel generated electricity.

It is of the utmost importance for those commercial and industrial businesses that maintain refrigeration units and other commercial appliances to purchase and properly maintain their equipment for the sake of saving operating expense as well as doing your part for the environment.
