Refrigeration Equipment

Commercial Refrigerators

Commercial refrigerators are self-contained or remote-condenser units built for continuous commercial-kitchen duty: heavier construction, faster recovery after door openings and more robust components than domestic equipment. Frosten supplies upright, under-counter and reach-in refrigerator units for kitchens, bars and back-of-house storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a commercial fridge different from a domestic one?

Commercial units use heavier-duty compressors and evaporators built for continuous cycling and frequent door openings, stainless interiors for hygiene compliance, and faster temperature recovery than domestic appliances.

How often does the condenser coil need cleaning?

In busy kitchen environments with grease-laden air, monthly to quarterly cleaning is recommended to prevent overheating and compressor strain.
