4 Reasons Your San Martin Business Might Need to Upgrade to a Walk-In Cooler

Walk-in coolers aren’t just for restaurants—they’re critical to many types of businesses. If you’re unsure whether it’s time for an upgrade, consider the following:

Your Current System Can’t Maintain Consistent Temperatures - Frequent temperature fluctuations can lead to spoiled inventory, health code violations, and high energy bills. A custom-built walk-in cooler provides better insulation, airflow design, and temperature control.

You’re Running Out of Storage Space - As your business grows, undercounter fridges and reach-in units may no longer be enough. Walk-ins provide scalable cold storage designed to match your current and future needs.

Your Utility Bills Keep Climbing - Older refrigeration units are energy hogs. Today’s coolers, especially those designed with modern refrigerants and upgraded panels, offer massive energy savings and rebate potential.

You Need to Meet Industry Standards or Health Regulations - From NSF-compliant paneling to code-specific access doors and ventilation, a professionally constructed walk-in ensures your equipment meets San Martin's commercial codes and CA Title 24 requirements.

Compliant with R-454B and the Latest Refrigerant Standards

At R&R Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, Inc., we stay ahead of the curve on all regulatory changes. Our walk-in cooler systems are fully compliant with California’s phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants like R-404A and R-507A.

We build coolers that are compatible with R-454B, a low-GWP refrigerant approved under CARB and EPA guidelines. This not only makes your system environmentally responsible—it helps you avoid costly retrofits or legal issues down the road.

Our team will walk you through:

• The benefits of R-454B refrigerant
• Equipment compatibility and lifecycle considerations
• Refrigeration control upgrades and leak monitoring systems

We’ll make sure your system performs efficiently and sustainably—today and into the future.

Beware of Cheap Walk-In Cooler Brands Flooding the Market

Not all walk-in coolers are created equal. With online suppliers and budget vendors pushing low-cost panels and plug-in systems, we caution businesses to consider the long-term costs:

• Inferior insulation (low R-value) means higher energy bills
• Weak structural panels may fail under load or degrade quickly in humid environments
• Non-compliance with codes can lead to failed inspections or fines
• No local support means longer downtimes when issues arise

At R&R Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, Inc., we only install reputable brands we’ve field-tested in the Bay Area’s demanding climate. We also provide warranty-backed service, local support, and ongoing maintenance to keep your walk-in performing at its peak.
