Retrofitting commercial refrigeration equipment

If the cost of buying brand new equipment is beyond your current budget, you may want to consider retrofitting your old refrigeration unit.

Retrofit glass door systems are now available for existing ‘open-front display’ refrigerated cabinets. They have a number of benefits for retailers on a budget:

• They give the existing display a fresh new look.
• The company that installed the retrofit in the photo claims that the system reduces energy use by up to 75%.^[1]
• By removing the chill factor in the fridge aisle, customers are more likely to linger longer.
• The retrofit doors are energy efficient.
• By encasing the existing refrigeration unit, your HVAC system no longer has to continually heat the fridge aisle. The HVAC savings can be significant.
• The retrofit system is easy to install and has minimal impact on trading.
