What is Commercial Refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration refers to specialised cooling systems designed to store perishable goods at controlled temperatures in retail, hospitality, and industrial settings.
Unlike domestic refrigerators, these units are built for larger storage capacities, continuous operation, and strict temperature regulation to ensure food safety and product longevity.
Common applications include walk-in fridges, display chillers, under-counter refrigeration, and industrial cold storage units.
These systems are essential for businesses that handle fresh produce, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products.
How Much Does Commercial Refrigeration Cost?
Commercial refrigeration costs between £800 and £20,000 or more. The cost of commercial refrigeration varies depending on size, capacity, temperature range, and additional features.
A small commercial fridge or under-counter unit typically costs between £800 and £2,500. Larger display fridges and upright chillers range from £2,500 to £6,000.
Walk-in fridges and industrial cold storage rooms start at £5,000, with high-capacity or custom-built units reaching £20,000 or more.
Additional costs apply if advanced cooling technology, energy-efficient components, or remote monitoring systems are included.
Installation costs vary depending on site access, electrical work, and ventilation requirements, with tailored pricing available based on specific business needs.
What Are the Benefits of Commercial Refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration provides precise temperature control, extended product shelf life, and improved operational efficiency, making it an essential investment for businesses that handle perishable goods.
The key benefits include:
Optimal Temperature Regulation – Maintains consistent cooling to prevent spoilage and ensure food safety compliance.
Energy Efficiency – Modern systems use advanced insulation and eco-friendly refrigerants to reduce power consumption.
Larger Storage Capacity – Designed for bulk storage, reducing the need for multiple smaller refrigeration units.
Customisation Options – Available in various sizes and configurations to fit different business needs.
Enhanced Durability – Built for heavy-duty use in commercial environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
What Types of Commercial Refrigeration Are Available?
Commercial refrigeration systems are available as walk-in fridges and freezers, display fridges, under-counter and upright chillers, or blast chillers.
Walk-in fridges and freezers provide large-scale storage for food service and retail. Display fridges are designed for front-of-house product presentation in supermarkets and cafes.
Under-counter and upright chillers offer convenient storage for restaurants and bars. Blast chillers are used for rapid cooling in food production, while industrial cold storage solutions cater to warehouses and distribution centres.
Each type is available with custom temperature settings, shelving options, and energy-saving features.
What Industries Benefit from Commercial Refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration is essential for businesses that require consistent cooling and food safety compliance.
Hospitality and food service industries, including restaurants, cafes, and catering businesses, use refrigeration for ingredient storage.
Retail and supermarkets rely on display chillers for fresh produce, dairy, and beverages. Pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities use medical-grade refrigeration to store medicines and vaccines.
Butchers, bakeries, breweries, and food processing plants require specialised cold storage solutions to maintain product quality.
Logistics and warehouse operations also use refrigeration for large-scale distribution of perishable goods.
How Is Commercial Refrigeration Installed?
The installation process begins with a site survey and consultation to assess the available space, cooling requirements, and industry-specific regulations.
Our team designs a custom refrigeration solution, selecting the appropriate cooling unit, insulation, and access points to maximise efficiency.
Once approved, the system is installed and connected to the power supply, with refrigeration lines and ventilation components set up for optimal performance.
Temperature calibration and safety checks are carried out to ensure compliance with food safety and industry standards.
The process is completed with a handover and guidance session, ensuring staff understand proper operation and maintenance procedures.
Can Commercial Refrigeration Be Customised?
Commercial refrigeration systems can be fully customised to meet specific storage needs, industry regulations, and energy efficiency goals.
Options include custom temperature ranges, adjustable shelving, smart monitoring systems, and eco-friendly refrigerants. Businesses can choose between glass or solid doors, self-closing mechanisms, and space-saving configurations to enhance functionality.
For industries requiring strict hygiene control, we provide stainless steel interiors, anti-microbial coatings, and humidity management features. Custom refrigeration solutions ensure businesses receive a system that perfectly fits their operational requirements and budget.
What Maintenance and Repair Services Are Available?
Regular maintenance is essential to keep commercial refrigeration systems running efficiently and prevent costly breakdowns. Our comprehensive maintenance services include temperature calibration, refrigerant level checks, coil cleaning, and door seal inspections to optimise performance.
We also provide emergency repair services, addressing faults such as compressor failures, gas leaks, and electrical malfunctions.
Our scheduled maintenance contracts offer ongoing servicing to minimise downtime, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure compliance with food safety regulations.
Whether you need one-off repairs or routine servicing, our expert team is available to keep your refrigeration system in top condition.
