Squeaky Bearing Causes Fire
One client ignored a squeaking bearing on their condenser fan motor housed in the ceiling above their cool room. The motor overheated, started a fire, and forced a shopping centre food court evacuation with two days of lost trade. Regular maintenance starting at just $165 per quarter could have prevented it.

One client ignored a squeaking bearing on their condenser fan motor, which was housed in the ceiling space over their cool room. When the motor overheated, a fire started and destroyed the entire unit. The food court of the shopping centre was evacuated and the store lost two days of trade.
Prevention Is Always Cheaper Than the Consequences
By investing as little as $165 into their commercial refrigeration maintenance every three months, this trauma could have been saved.
Flexible Payment Options for Maintenance Agreements
To keep costs manageable for your business, we offer extended payment terms to all clients who enter into maintenance agreements (subject to approval). What a bonus!
Businesses who become approved account holders also benefit from the Allen Air & Refrigeration four-hour service guarantee for refrigeration breakdowns. If we don’t make it, we deduct the service fee!
Don’t Ignore the Warning Signs
A squeaking bearing, an unusual noise, or a slight change in performance might seem minor, but as this case study shows, small issues left unaddressed can escalate into fires, evacuations, and significant financial loss. Regular maintenance catches these problems early, when they are quick and affordable to fix.
Contact Allen Air & Refrigeration to set up a maintenance agreement and protect your business from preventable disasters.
