An energy efficient commercial kitchen is a well-maintained one!
Do you manage a commercial kitchen? With the rising costs of today’s economy, you probably want to save as much as possible without compromising on your services. Even in great times, conserving energy is a smart approach. The most energy efficient commercial kitchens get professionals to help them keep their kitchens running smoothly at all times.
Commercial Kitchen Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is the routine cleaning, calibrating, and repairing of equipment so that it continues to function as the manufacturer intended it. Those working in the commercial kitchen must practice preventative maintenance at some level every day, such as cleaning down surfaces and taking care of spills immediately. However, only licensed and insured professionals can handle fixing the food equipment themselves. A preventative maintenance program helps improve energy efficiency in your commercial kitchen.
Energy-Efficient Benefits of a Preventative Maintenance Program
Keep Appliances Running at Top Performance
A PM program for commercial kitchens makes sure that commercial ranges, refrigerators, ice makers, and other equipment continue to run well. If they have built-up dirt or wearing parts, they will use more energy than necessary to do the same work, which wastes energy.
Avoid Wasted Energy from Downtime
If your commercial kitchen equipment suddenly breaks down, you avoid wasted energy from the downtime it creates. The longer you can’t use your equipment, the less business you can do and the more quickly your supplies can expire, particularly if you are dealing with fresh ingredients or ice cubes.
Avoid Food Equipment Emergencies
Food equipment emergencies can also lead to more frequent appliance replacements. Buying new equipment is expensive, and doing without equipment temporarily can also be costly. Avoid food equipment emergencies and save energy!
Keep Employees Safe and Customers Happy
When cooking equipment fails, it could potentially risk an employee injury or an unhappy customer. It could also result in a sick customer. People’s health comes first. You not only have the downside of someone’s illness but also the loss of that worker or customer, temporarily or otherwise.
A PM Program Is Worth It!
