We test the controller and sensor against a calibrated reference, replace the faulty component, and recalibrate the setpoint so your unit cycles accurately and reliably.

Industry context

Restaurants

A restaurant has little margin for a cold chain that drifts. Service-speed cooling where every minute of downtime costs a service. Our technicians work to the tolerance your operation needs.

Prevention

Stop the fault returning

  • Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so thermostat fault is flagged before stock is lost.

  • Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many thermostat fault callouts.

  • Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the cold room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.

  • Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so thermostat fault is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
