Preventive Maintenance FAQs

How long does commercial kitchen equipment typically last?
Commercial kitchen equipment lifespans vary: commercial ovens 15-20 years, fryers 10-15 years, refrigeration equipment 10-15 years, ice machines 7-10 years, dishwashers 10-15 years, steam tables 10-15 years. Regular preventive maintenance significantly extends equipment life. Equipment that is properly maintained often outlasts these averages by 5+ years.
What is a CFESA-certified technician?
CFESA (Commercial Food Equipment Service Association) certification is the industry standard for commercial kitchen equipment technicians. Certified technicians have passed rigorous examinations on electrical, refrigeration, and gas systems. When you hire a CFESA-certified tech, you can trust they have the knowledge to properly diagnose and repair commercial kitchen equipment safely and effectively.
