Keeping cooling equipment in top shape is key to smooth operations for any restaurant. One piece of equipment that often gets overlooked? The ice machine.
At Arctic Air Inc., we know how important it is for Summerville, SC, businesses to have clean, reliable commercial refrigeration. Recently, when a Summerville restaurant owner noticed their machine wasn’t making enough ice—and the little it did make was cloudy—they called our trusted freezer techs.
The Restaurant Cooling Solution: Ice Machine Cleaning by Arctic Air Inc.
Our commercial refrigeration team arrived at the restaurant and quickly found the culprit: mineral and scale buildup inside and outside, blocking internal mechanisms and air input. This is a common issue in machines that haven’t been cleaned regularly. The buildup not only affected ice production but also posed potential health risks.
Our process included:
- Disassembled the machine to clean every part.
- Used professional-grade cleaning solutions to remove scale and mineral buildup.
- Reassembled and tested the machine to ensure it was back to full function.
The owner feared the cost of a new unit, but our skilled contractor assured them cleaning could solve the problem. And it did! In just a few hours, their commercial freezer unit ran like new and produced clear ice.
Why Regular Refrigeration Maintenance is Essential
For businesses relying on commercial refrigeration, keeping cooling equipment clean and fully functional is vital to smooth operations. Regular maintenance is key in preventing unexpected malfunctions that could lead to costly downtime and repairs.
By scheduling routine service, companies can address potential issues like dirt buildup, mineral deposits, or even bacterial contamination before they escalate. This proactive approach ensures that equipment runs efficiently and extends the refrigeration units’ lifespan.
Without regular upkeep, the performance of commercial freezers and fridges can decline over time, resulting in higher energy costs, inconsistent temperatures, and the risk of spoilage. Dripping from poorly maintained equipment can also compromise the safety and quality of stored goods. In the restaurant industry, reliable commercial refrigeration is a must! We know this, and our team is ready to jump in and save the day, whether ice machine maintenance or a new walk-in freezer!

Well, here we are. We have a winter storm (supposedly) coming that is going to make the roadways icy. The report that we just got was that they may have between a quarter to a half an inch of ice. Tonight the low is going to be around 37°F tonight, and tomorrow the high is supposed to be 37°F. Tomorrow night there is a prediction of freezing weather (sleet and possibly snow).
Of course, I am saying to myself…”this is crazy… it is not going to be that bad”. What is all this “hoop-la” about. Well, look back to the first paragraph. I didn’t think Hugo was going to be a big deal either.
Please prepare for this cold weather. Insulate your pipes. Let water drip so that it doesn’t freeze. Here is a post that I did a few weeks ago. It is definitely worth reviewing.
It seems like the older I get, the faster time flies by! It has almost been a week since I posted anything to Facebook or Twitter. If you didn’t hear, Arctic Air is now on Twitter! You can follow us @ArcticAirInc.
He and I talked a little longer, then I told him that it was going to get in the 20’s overnight. He kind of chuckled and said “It is NEGATIVE 20 here now.” Well, I must say that I have never seen, nor felt, what -20F feels like… and I am OK with that.
Staci and I are heading to Marleyna’s Birthday Party. She is having a tea party with all of her friends. I have been asked to be the photographer. I wish I had a red carpet to throw down. I think they would have gotten a kick out of that.
It looks like the next couple of days are going to be really cold for us South Carolinians! According to predictions, tonight is going to be around 18°F, and it is going to be in the mid 30’s for the high for tomorrow.
