5 reasons why you should address your broken fridge seals

1.     Sustain a hygienic environment that is free of harmful germs
Did you know that door seals are a source of germs in a kitchen or bar? This makes maintaining them vital for food safety.

2.     Maintain a solid food standards rating
Broken or faulty door seals can actually result in your venue being marked down on your EHO 5 star rating.

3.     Ensure the seals remain functional
Damaged seals can become ineffective. Grease residue can dry out the material that the door seals are made from, causing them to crack or lose their function.

4.     Keep your energy bills at a minimum
The energy consumption of your equipment can increase by an eye-watering 25% if the door seals are defective.

5.     Avoid ongoing maintenance costs
Your refrigerating equipment will require less maintenance and last longer if the cooling compressor is operated less frequently.
