We answer some common refrigeration question to assit you to make and informed decision
How do I know if my current cold room needs an upgrade?
If you're experiencing inconsistent temperatures, rising energy costs, frequent defrosting, or signs of condensation and ice buildup, your cold room’s insulation or sealing may be compromised.
Visible wear, air leaks, or aging materials are also indicators that your structure may be costing you more than it should.
What makes Resol different from other refrigeration companies?
We both build the structure and install the equipment, giving you one accountable partner for the full cold-room system.
Will load-shedding damage my refrigeration system?
No — our voltage-protection control isolates equipment during power dips to prevent burnout.
What materials do you use for insulation and sealing?
We use high-performance insulated panels (typically PIR or EPS cores) with precision-cut joints, vapor barriers, and heavy-duty thermal doors.
For sealing, we rely on durable gaskets, air-tight trims, and moisture-resistant sealants to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability.
Can you build custom-sized cold rooms to fit unusual spaces?
What maintenance does a well-built cold room or freezer room require?
A properly constructed cold room requires minimal maintenance.
We recommend regular checks for door seals, panel integrity, and moisture intrusion, along with routine cleaning.
Our builds are designed to minimize air leaks and condensation, reducing the frequency and cost of upkeep.
Refrigeration equipment on the other hand, needs regular service and maintenance.
This is why we advise service level agreements with all clients.
How do you handle maintenance and service level agreements?
Routine maintenance are done monthly, every second month, or quarterly as required. This will depending on whether the service level agreement is primary for insurance purposes or to be preventative in nature.
For both maintenance and emergency repairs, most spares are readily available. Essential services will not experience down time.
Can I gradually upgrade my total refrigeration solution?
Revamps or system upgrades can be done in stages, priority areas of saving most capital and addressing environmental compliance to be addressed first.
What are the most common issues caused by poor cold room construction?
Poorly built cold rooms often suffer from air leaks, temperature fluctuations, condensation buildup, and high energy usage.
These problems can lead to product spoilage, equipment overuse, safety hazards, and unnecessary costs—all of which are preventable with proper construction.
