A2Z Commercial Refrigeration lives and breathes two things, beer, and refrigeration; we are well ad versed to the goings on behind the scene of this delicious refreshment. The use of beer chillers, cold rooms, display fridges, super chillers, chiller pumps and glycol chillers are the heart of bars, pubs, taverns and breweries. With Queensland's unique climate, sometimes an added stress can occur in chiller units, however, we recommend, beer chillers run at -2.5 degrees, this allows the beer temperature to be maintained from the coolroom to the beer fonts and then into our glasses before finally touching our lips. Scheduled maintenance of commercial display fridges can also help bars, pubs, and breweries, by reducing the amount of refrigeration breakdowns from occurring. Simple tasks like cleaning the condenser coil with a soft brush can have a huge impact on the running system of refrigeration equipment.

A2Z Commercial Refrigeration loves a cold craft beer after a long days work, however, what frustrates the team is hot beer as a result of preventable refrigeration breakdowns. If your favourite watering hole is having problems keeping their beer temperature at perfection, the A2Z Commercial Refrigeration team are happy to help with cool rooms, beers chillers and fridge emergency breakdowns, because no beer should be warm.
