True Refrigeration Cleaning, Maintenance & Repair

The most common failures on refrigeration equipment are due to inadequate service maintenance. Improperly maintained systems cause higher energy prices and lower cooling capability, not to mention a potential loss of product, furthering your expense and adding to your repair headache. The 3-year parts and labour warranty plus True’s exclusive 5-year compressor/condensing unit warranty is one of the top coverage providers in the industry. Loss or spoilage of products in your refrigerator/ freezer is not covered by warranty. Common refrigeration problems can be avoided with a regularly Planned Maintenance program and simple DIY steps in between service calls.

Cleaning the Condenser

  • The condenser looks like a group of vertical fins. You need to be able to see through the condenser for the unit to function at maximum capacity. Do not place filter material in front of condensing coil. This material blocks airflow to the coil similar to having a dirty coil.
  • If you keep the condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical costs. Follow the detailed steps as prescribed in the True Installation Manual for your specific unit.
  • Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the condenser by using a soft brush, or vacuuming the condenser with a Shop-Vac, or using CO2, nitrogen, or pressurized air.
**If you cannot remove the dirt adequately, please call for our refrigeration service.
