How We Service Condensers

Steven, a Senior Technician here at Berg Industrial Service has years of experience in all aspects of refrigeration repair for the most complex units imaginable.

However, he often calls himself a “highly paid janitor” because one of the most common service calls his team receives is for dirty condensers.

Most (but not all) condensers sit on the rooftops of cold room installations and ice rinks.

Every single day for years on end, they’re exposed all sorts of weather elements:

Not to mention things like dust and pollution.

As a result, they lose their ability to dissipate heat.

Cleaning your condensers is crucial.

Keeping them that way is just as vital because it accomplishes a few things for your system.

Preventative condenser maintenance is much easier – and more affordable – to implement than emergency service repairs.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.
