Though you may dread the day you have to replace your coldroom system, it can pay in the long run to upgrade as soon as you notice signs of failure. While it is a large expense, replacing your coldroom system can end up lowering your energy bills. A new coldroom system could essentially pay for itself within a few years.
The lifespan of your coldroom is dependent on a variety of different factors and there is no generalized timeframe on how long your unit should last. Your lifespan of your coldroom depends on the quality of the refrigerator, the type of insulation, the degree of maintenance, and if it has suffered any damage or harsh usage over the years. Generally, coldroom system warranties max out after 10 years. This is when you may want to consider weighing the cost and benefits of investing in a new coldroom system.
Generally, there are a few signs to look out for that can indicate you may need to replace your coldroom.
- A steady increase in your energy bills from month to month could mean the insulation surrounding your unit has been gradually declining.
- Condensation or ice build-up is a sure sign that your insulation has failed. Moisture inside your coldroom means that your insulation is also saturated with water and ice. This could be a result of air leaks between panels or elsewhere in your unit.
- If your coldroom has been struggling and failing to hold a consistent and proper temperature, this is definitely a sign of an issue. In some cases, an entire replacement is warranted.
- When the ambient temperature increases, does the temperature inside your coldroom also rise significantly? Any signs that your insulation is failing usually mean a coldroom replacement is in order.
