For commercial refrigeration and HVAC service firms with retail clients

Every store’s refrigeration, circuit by circuit.

Supermarkets and retail chains run on refrigeration: compressor racks, case lines, cold rooms, and the rooftop units over the sales floor. Frigalto is built for the commercial refrigeration and HVAC firms that keep them running — every rack, case and circuit on the record, store by store.

What retail clients judge you on

Four things a supermarket chain asks of its refrigeration firm.

  1. The stock is on the line

    A case line that fails overnight costs the store its stock before anyone opens the doors. The chain wants to see the cases and cold rooms were looked at, not only the rooftop units.

    On the recordEvery case line, cold room and rack checked by its own protocol, with the time it was done.

  2. Big charges, close scrutiny

    Commercial refrigeration holds far more refrigerant than an office’s air conditioning, and the rules on leaks and records weigh on it most. Your client will be asked for the log — and you’ll be asked for it first.

    On the recordA Refrigerant Record per circuit: charge, leak checks, recoveries and top-ups, who and when.

  3. Many stores, one standard

    A chain’s facilities team compares its stores. If store 14 is logged one way and store 22 another, the comparison falls apart — and so does your account review.

    On the recordThe same protocols and the same record in every store on the service agreement.

  4. Work that fits around trading

    Rounds happen overnight or before opening, and call-outs come at the worst time of the day. The store manager needs to know what was done while the store was shut.

    On the recordEach round and call-out with its times, its findings and what was left for the morning.

The rack round

Six circuits, six leak checks, one store logged.

An overnight round in Harlow’s store 14. In the machine room, each of the two racks’ circuits is leak-checked and logged against the case line it serves. When the last one is done, the store ticks off on the chain’s record.

What Frigalto is built to do

For every store you look after.

  • Keep every store’s racks, case lines, cold rooms and rooftop units in one registry, store by store
  • Inspect each to the protocol for its type, overnight or before opening
  • Log every leak check, recovery and top-up against the circuit it belongs to
  • Follow each finding to closed, with its photos, before the chain’s next review
  • Send the Uptime Report for one store or the whole chain, when you choose

Frigalto keeps the record. It does not certify compliance with refrigerant rules.

Where your work sits in a store

From the machine room to the sales floor.

Each part of the store carries its own units and its own record.

  1. Machine room and compressor racks
  2. Case lines and multidecks
  3. Frozen food islands
  4. Cold rooms and freezer rooms
  5. Rooftop units over the sales floor
  6. Condensers and gas coolers outside
