There are various types available, including upright fridges and freezers, chest freezers, display fridges, multideck fridges, walk-in fridges, and deli displays.

Walk-in fridges/freezers offer ample storage space, easy accessibility, and the ability to store large quantities of items. They are ideal for supermarkets or businesses that require efficient cooling and organization of perishable goods.

Display fridges are designed specifically to showcase products, usually featuring glass doors or open fronts for easy visibility. Regular fridges are more suitable for back-of-house storage.

A multideck fridge is a type of refrigeration unit with multiple levels or shelves, ideal for displaying products in supermarkets. They provide maximum visibility while efficiently utilizing space.

It is not recommended to use regular household fridges in a commercial setting as they are not designed to withstand the demands and requirements of a supermarket environment. Commercial fridges are built to handle high-volume usage and meet health and safety standards.

The size of the fridge/freezer depends on the space available, the volume of products you plan to store, and your store's layout. It's best to consult with a professional to ensure you choose the right size.

It depends on the model and usage, but typically, commercial freezers need defrosting a few times a year. Regularly check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific instructions.

Supermarket fridges and freezers have energy efficiency ratings that indicate their performance and energy consumption. Look for units with high ratings to minimize energy costs.

Proper airflow, regular maintenance, timely repairs, and regular monitoring of temperature settings are important to ensure consistent cooling. It's advised to have them professionally serviced and calibrated.

Yes, many restaurant equipment suppliers have online platforms where you can browse and purchase a wide range of supermarket fridges and freezers. Make sure to choose a reputable supplier with good customer reviews.
