A well-maintained kitchen experiences fewer emergency breakdowns, longer equipment lifespans, and lower total operating costs. Our certified technicians design and execute customized PM programs for restaurants, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities.

Preventive Maintenance FAQs

What permits are required for commercial kitchen equipment installation?
Most commercial kitchen equipment installations require permits: gas appliance permits for any gas connection work, electrical permits for new circuits or panel changes, plumbing permits for water and drain connections, and health department approval for new food service operations or major renovations. Requirements vary by jurisdiction — your installer should know local requirements. Operating without required permits can result in fines and forced closure during inspections.
What are the signs of a failing compressor?
Signs of compressor problems: unit not reaching temperature despite running constantly, compressor making loud knocking or grinding sounds, compressor starting and stopping rapidly (short cycling), compressor not starting at all, or high pressure shutdowns. Compressor failure is typically the most expensive refrigeration repair. Early diagnosis can sometimes allow for less costly repairs — don't wait if you hear unusual compressor noises.
