THE owner of a Lancashire refrigeration and air conditioning company has warned hospitality operators that now is the time to make sure their cooling systems are in good order.
Patrick Connolly, owner and engineer at Ormskirk-based Climarite which services customers throughout the North West, says catering companies can save both time and money with some basic upkeep of their equipment.
“We’re often called out to jobs that could have been avoided if the apparatus had been properly cleaned and used correctly,” he said. “A little TLC goes long way to prevent system breakdowns and expand the lifespan of equipment.“Another major consideration is energy management, with the hospitality industry being particularly susceptible for overconsumption that leads to rising costs.
“If we take restaurants for example, approximately one third of the electrical consumption is used by refrigeration.
“In addition, it is estimated that the sector could cut energy bills by as much as 20% with relatively little effort. Reviewing daily practices and ensuring employees adhere to simple rules can contribute to significant annual cost savings.”
