A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

We want your equipment
working. And your money
working for you.

Good service includes helping you between visits. These simple housekeeping habits can help reduce avoidable wear and make small problems easier to catch.

Pair daily care with a PM plan
01Coolers & freezers

Small daily habits help your refrigeration do its job.

  • Keep stored product clear of interior air vents and leave the manufacturer's required ventilation space around equipment.
  • Keep doors closed between uses. Gently wipe door gaskets using the cleaner recommended in your manual, and report splits or gaps.
  • Record temperatures as required by your food-safety plan. Report unusual trends, ice buildup or longer-than-usual running; do not just turn the thermostat down.

When to call: Call for rising temperatures, damaged seals, repeated icing or unusual noises.

02Ice machines

Treat ice equipment like the food-contact equipment it is.

  • Use a designated clean scoop and store it in its proper holder. Keep the bin lid closed.
  • Keep nearby boxes and supplies away from ventilation openings. Check only accessible, owner-serviceable air filters as directed by the manual.
  • Follow the model's cleaning and sanitizing schedule. Ask us to plan professional cleaning and water-filter service for your equipment and usage.

When to call: Call for a drop in ice production, leaks or visible contamination. Follow your food-safety procedures before using affected ice.

03Cooking equipment

A tidy cooking line makes problems easier to spot.

  • Follow the manufacturer's shutdown and cool-down instructions before routine owner cleaning.
  • Wipe up spills with approved cleaning products. Keep water and cleaning sprays away from controls and electrical components.
  • Keep equipment access and ventilation openings clear. Report changing performance rather than adjusting gas valves, wiring or safety controls.

When to call: Stop using equipment with unsafe operation. Leave gas, electrical and internal repairs to qualified technicians.

04Hoods, fresh air & HVAC

Air needs a clear path in and out.

  • Keep supply and return grilles clear of boxes, displays and stored supplies.
  • Check accessible filters according to the equipment manual and your maintenance plan. Use the specified filter type and fit.
  • Have trained staff clean removable hood filters according to the hood manufacturer's instructions. Keep all required filters in place during operation; arrange professional grease-duct and fire-system service separately.

When to call: Report poor smoke capture, new vibration or changes in airflow. Leave roof access, fan servicing and internal adjustments to professionals.

Follow your equipment’s manual and your site’s safety and food-handling procedures. These owner-care tips complement professional maintenance. Refrigerant, electrical, gas and internal mechanical work belong with qualified technicians.

A clear rate is the start of a clear conversation.

These are service and labor rates, not a flat price for every repair. Parts, refrigerant, applicable travel, supplies and taxes are additional. Confirm the applicable rate and any minimums when scheduling. Contract pricing may differ. Additional repairs or parts beyond the initial diagnosis are quoted for approval before proceeding.
