When installing a new Orlando commercial freezer, it’s critical to consider where you will put it. The big question is: Will it be indoor or outdoor? This must be answered before it’s installed because once the freezer is in place, moving it isn’t cheap or easy. There are some things to take into consideration that will help you make up your mind before deciding where you’ll install it.
- Spatial Relations: Always make sure you have plenty of room for your walk-in freezer before installation. This can immediately be a deciding factor in where you choose to install your freezer. A minimum of six inches is needed above the freezer, as well as two inches on the remaining sides for air to flow properly around the unit. In order to clean or repair the condenser, it must be accessible for technicians. Businesses with enough indoor space should have no problems with these requirements, but if you can’t meet them, your walk-in freezer will have to be outdoors.
- Stand-Alone or Butted Freezer: Stand-alone freezers are installed separately away from the building, whereas butted freezers are up against an exterior wall that usually have a door connected between the two. This makes butted freezers more appealing as the door isn’t susceptible to weathering and the unit isn’t vulnerable to theft.
- Condenser Placement: No one wants to hear loud sounds coming from their Orlando commercial freezer. That’s why having a condenser is important to your walk-in system. In situations where it’s possible, placing your condensing unit outside will help keep your building cool as they produce a lot of heat. Even if your walk-in freezer is located inside, the condenser can still be placed outside. If your condenser is located inside, it’s important to note any ovens, vents, or fryers as these are sources of heat and shouldn’t be near the condensing unit.
