How often should I service or maintain my commercial fridge?

For most Irish kitchens, use a tiered routine:

Daily: quick hygiene, temperature and airflow checks by staff.

Weekly: deeper cleaning (including seals) and a visual inspection of components.

Monthly: a more thorough clean and performance review, including cleaning any accessible air intakes and checking for dust build-up.

Every 6 to 12 months: schedule a professional preventative maintenance visit (more often in hot, greasy or high-traffic kitchens).

If the unit is struggling to hold temperature, icing up, running constantly, or making unusual noises, treat that as repair needed now, not “next service.” Refrigerant, electrical and sealed-system work should always be done by a qualified refrigeration engineer.
