Refrigerated bakery display cases are quite durable and last many years. However, like any other appliances, they also need to be replaced at some point. Old and inefficient refrigerated bakery display cases may consume more electricity, start getting overheated, need frequent repairs, and may cost more to maintain than the cost of replacing the bakery case with the new one.
Here are a few signs which will tell you when it is time to replace your bakery display case:
High electricity bill
Old refrigerated bakery display cases often need to use more energy to maintain the cool temperature for the bakery goods. As the insulation capacity may reduce over time, the refrigeration unit utilizes extra energy to maintain the cooling at desired levels. It usually results in high electricity bills. So, if you notice your business’s electricity bills increasing dramatically it might be time to replace your existing refrigeration unit.
Extra frost buildup or leaks
Well-functioning refrigeration units keep the temperature to appropriate levels. However, if you start to notice excessive moisture and frost buildup, it might lead to an air leak problem or indicate a fault in the cooling system of your refrigeration unit. It may reduce the ability of the refrigeration unit to maintain the freshness of food products.
Recurrent leaks and repairs
During the starting years, the refrigerated bakery display cases don’t need much maintenance. However, after a few years, your refrigeration unit may start to have recurring leakage problems. It might need frequent repairs, which is a sign that it might be time to replace it for good.
Reduced/fluctuating temperature
Old refrigerated display cases may start having faults in temperature control. You may notice that the food is staling before the expiration date in the refrigeration unit if there’s a problem with the temperature. You may also notice the unit’s temperature fluctuates frequently and needs to be adjusted manually. It is a major indicator that it is time to replace it.
