Giving your refrigerated cases a bath once or twice a year helps reduce refrigerant leaks! A quarter of refrigerant leaks happen in your refrigerated case evaporator coils or within the case infrastructure.
Over time, your case interiors get build-up from air contaminants that are condensed on coils and piping. This becomes highly concentrated, causing corrosion on copper and aluminum components.
Washing case interiors and ensuring case drains are free and clear of obstruction helps reduce corrosion and subsequent refrigerant leaks. For a typical store, it is like selling an extra 9,820 gallons of milk each year!
Running a grocery store often feels like trying to fill a bucket with holes in it. You're focused on the shelves, but your profits are leaking through the floor — literally. From refrigerant mismanagement to inefficient energy use and overlooked carbon accounting, the "invisible" costs of retail are often the difference between surviving and thriving. The Grocery POP! monthly accelerator class provides the strategy, data, and expert access IGA retailers need to plug those leaks and outpace the competition.
