Solutions · Retrofits & Upgrades

Make the cold room you already own cost less to run.

We audit your existing cold room or cold store, find where energy and stock are being lost, and upgrade only what pays back, so you improve your costs without rebuilding.

Overview

An older cold room does not have to be an expensive one.

Many cold rooms keep running long after their design is out of date. Insulation ages, doors leak, compressors work harder than they should, and nobody sees the problem until the electricity bill or the stock losses make it obvious. Often the building is sound and only some parts are costing you money.

We start by measuring what your room actually uses and loses. Then we recommend the smallest set of upgrades with the fastest payback, and show you the numbers before you commit. The result is lower running cost without the cost of building new.

Where the savings come from

Four ways an upgrade lowers the cost of owning your cold room.

Lower Energy

Efficient compressors, better evaporators and fans, tighter doors and improved insulation reduce the power the room needs, and controls make the plant run only when it should.

Lower Losses

Stable temperatures and fewer hot spots protect stock that is currently being lost to drift, frost or uneven cooling.

Lower Maintenance

Worn and failing parts are replaced before they cause a breakdown, and monitoring flags problems early.

Lower Lifecycle Cost

Each upgrade is costed against the savings it delivers, so you only spend where the payback makes sense. [CONFIRM: payback approach]

What goes into it

Five steps in a typical upgrade.

Audit and diagnosis

Measurement of power use, temperatures, airflow and door losses, plus a check of insulation and seals. [CONFIRM AUDIT SCOPE]

Insulation and envelope repair

Panel, floor and seal repair or replacement where heat is getting in. [CONFIRM]

Refrigeration upgrade

Efficient compressors, evaporators, fans and controls, and refrigerant conversion where it makes sense. [CONFIRM REFRIGERANT OPTIONS]

Doors and entry

Better doors, strip curtains or air curtains to keep warm air out.

Controls and monitoring

Digital controls, sensors and remote alerts added to your existing room. [CONFIRM]

Upgrade options

Start small or go further. You choose how deep.

Audit and health check

Find out where your room is losing energy and stock, with a ranked list of fixes. [CONFIRM IF CHARGED]

Monitoring add-on

Sensors, alerts and energy tracking added without changing the plant. [CONFIRM]

Component upgrade

Replace the compressor, evaporator, fans or doors that cost you the most.

Full plant refit

Refrigeration and controls replaced to current standards inside the existing building.

Questions

Common questions about retrofits and upgrades.

Is it better to upgrade or build new?

It depends on the age and condition of the building,the plant and how much capacity you need. We compare both options in your estimate soyou can see which pays back sooner.

Some work can be done with the room running, and some needs a short stoppage. We plan around your stock and season. [CONFIRM: typical downtime]

Yes. We assess the room as it stands,whoever built it. [CONFIRM]

We measure power use and temperatures beforeand after, and monitoring keeps tracking them. [CONFIRM: whether you provide beforeand after reports]
