Whether you’re replacing a commercial refrigerator of old or making a brand new addition to your shop floor, there are a few things you need to do in preparation for your purchase.
Refrigerators can be complex to run. The last thing you want is to fall foul of not planning effectively and have to quickly solve issues on the fly. As commercial refrigeration experts, here at J&M Refrigeration, we know exactly how to create a smooth transition.
Here we outline 4 steps to ensure success:
- Clear the area
To make sure that your new refrigerated display cabinet can easily fit in the required space, clear the area before it is delivered. Remove any debris, products temporarily on the ground, or any existing systems.
If your new refrigerator is a different size from your old one, or if a specific space has been reserved, you should be sure to triple check measurements! We all know that a snug fit can make a shopping experience smooth and seamless, but if your measurements are even the slightest bit wrong, you may be left with a headache.
2. Ensure the logistics are right
Once you’ve made sure your commercial refrigerator can actually fit in your required spot, you should check that any other logistical aspects of the installation are correct. For example, can your refrigerator reach a power source from its location? Will the opening of your refrigerator door hinder any part of the shopping experience? It’s useful to consider every little detail before you take the plunge and install your unit. Because, unsurprisingly, they can be quite hard to shift!
This not only gives you peace of mind that you’ve made the correct decision with your purchase but also provides you with the confidence that you can now move onto the next stage of the installation.
3. Visualise the layout
Of course, it’s important to consider where your refrigerator will fit in relation to the rest of the layout of your building. But, once you’ve got a clear idea, it’s time to focus on the interior!
No one knows your products better than you, so be sure to have a picture in mind of how they will be arranged. If your commercial refrigeration solution is an upgrade on size compared to your old model, it may take some getting used to. But if you’ve visualised in advance, you’ll be able to quickly and effectively load products in an appealing way for the customer.
4. Start to load
When your refrigerator has arrived, the last thing left for you to do is load. Thanks to steps 1-3, this should just be a case of putting your ideal layout into action.
Once your products have found a new home in your new commercial refrigerator, you will be able to show them off to customers, likely improving business sales as a result!
