Catering Companies
Downtime in catering companies is measured in lost trading hours, not just parts. Off-site and event catering with mobile and static cold holding. That context decides how urgently we treat refrigerant leak.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many refrigerant leak callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the display refrigerator under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so refrigerant leak is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your display refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes refrigerant leak.
