Convenience stores and gas stations make a lot of their money from cold drinks, dairy, ice and frozen treats. When the beverage cooler goes warm, customers notice right away. J and G Refrigeration services convenience store refrigeration throughout Rockford, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rochelle and Northern Illinois.
Many c-stores are open around the clock. So are we.
Signs You Need Convenience Store Refrigeration
- Drinks aren't cold enough
- Glass doors fogging or dripping
- Bagged ice clumping together
- Loud or rattling equipment
- Water on the floor in front of coolers
Common Problems We Fix
Beverage walk-in not cooling
Glass-door beverage walk-ins work hard with constant door openings and restocking.
Fogged glass doors
Failed door heaters and gasket leaks hide product and drip water.
Ice merchandiser problems
Ice freezers need to stay well below freezing to keep bags from fusing.
Reach-in coolers running warm
Dust and debris on condenser coils are a common cause.
Noisy fans and compressors
Worn parts get louder before they fail.
