In industrial refrigeration, unexpected downtime isn’t just inconvenient, it can mean product loss, safety risks, and significant cost impacts. That’s why preventative maintenance remains one of the most valuable investments any facility can make.

At REM Services, we work exclusively with industrial refrigeration and HVAC systems, and we see firsthand just how much regular servicing improves equipment performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.


Why Preventative Maintenance Matters

Industrial refrigeration equipment operates under demanding conditions, often 24/7. Without routine maintenance, small issues like oil contamination, sensor drift, or worn bearings can quickly escalate into major failures. Regular inspections help identify problems early, allowing repairs to be made before they affect operations.

Common Issues We Prevent Through Scheduled Servicing

  • Refrigerant leaks that reduce efficiency and increase energy consumption.

  • Oil system contamination, which can lead to compressor damage.

  • VSD and motor bearing wear, often detected long before a failure occurs.

  • Heat exchanger fouling, which impacts performance and temperature control.

  • Control system faults, which can lead to costly downtime.

The Benefits for Industrial Facilities

Investing in a structured maintenance plan delivers several long-term advantages:

  • Improved system reliability

  • Lower energy usage

  • Extended equipment lifespan

  • More consistent temperature control

  • Reduced emergency call-outs and downtime
