Before you buy
- Map where cold ingredients are used during service and put prep tables and undercounter units at those stations first, then add bulk storage in reach-ins, so cooks are not crossing the kitchen mid-rush.
- Check the room temperature each unit is rated to run in, because refrigeration placed beside fryers, ovens or dishwashers works harder and may not hold temperature in a kitchen hotter than its rating.
- Confirm the voltage, plug type and circuit each unit needs from its specification sheet, and plan dedicated circuits wherever the manufacturer calls for them.
- Leave the condenser clearance the installation manual specifies at the back, sides or top, since a unit that cannot release its heat runs longer and wears faster.
- Look for a food sanitation listing such as NSF and an electrical safety mark recognised in Canada, such as CSA, cUL or cETLus, on the specification sheet before ordering.
Common questions
What temperature should commercial refrigeration hold?
- Most Canadian health units expect refrigerated food held at 4°C or colder, and frozen food is commonly kept at -18°C or colder. Confirm the exact limits with your local public health unit, and keep a thermometer in each unit rather than relying on the display, because the controller reading can differ from the warmest shelf.
Should I choose self-contained or remote refrigeration?
- Self-contained units carry the compressor and condenser on board, so they plug in and release their heat into the room. Remote systems put the condensing unit elsewhere, often on the roof, which moves heat and noise out of the kitchen but needs a refrigeration contractor to run the lines. Most reach-ins, prep tables and undercounter units are self-contained.
How does commercial refrigeration ship?
- Refrigeration ships by freight carrier, and a liftgate, delivery appointment or inside delivery has to be arranged with Norpex before paying. Inspect the unit before signing, note any damage on the delivery receipt and call Norpex the same day. Once it is in place, let it stand upright for the period its installation manual gives before switching it on.
