If you are in the market of buying a commercial refrigerator for your business, or if you’re fortunate enough, for your home, researching prior to buying is a must. 

There are several things that need to be taken into consideration before making that purchase, and here are a few tips, and suggestions to help with that all-important decision.

Purchasing a commercial refrigerator outright would be one way to go. New is expensive, and then there is used. Energy efficiency is on everyone’s mind, so make sure that the lights go off when the door is being closed, and everything is in tip-top shapes, such as gaskets, the cabinet, and check for cracks in the wall, as well as the evaporator, condenser, and compressor.

When buying, or renting, warranties or insurance usually entail a purchase or rental. Always ask if there is any additional extended insurance that can be purchased, and what it covers.

The pros of purchasing used is that you can probably get a good deal. A few scratches on the exterior might be unattractive, but those scratches can get some cash knocked off the original price. 

Pros of renting, rentals can go back to the rental agency when they are not needed anymore. They usually come with maintenance, and service, for a small fee that is included in the rental agreement.

Remember that these are only a few tips, and suggestions to look out for when shopping for a commercial refrigerator. Everyone’s needs are different, and researching before purchasing is very important.
