Cool Room Maintenance & Upgrades
Cool rooms play an essential role in keeping food, stock and temperature-sensitive products in controlled conditions that support day-to-day operation. At Gilmour Air & Electrical, we design and install cool rooms that deliver stable temperatures, reliable airflow and layouts suited to how each space is accessed, stocked and managed.
We plan each installation around storage volume, door-opening frequency and the cooling load created during busy periods or warmer weather. Our maintenance services keep insulation, fans, coils and seals performing as they should so the system can hold temperature consistently without unnecessary energy use. We also upgrade older cool rooms to improve accuracy, recovery times and long-term efficiency, integrating electrical or switchboard work where required.

Common Cool Room Issues
Cool rooms can develop performance issues over time that affect temperature stability and storage reliability.
- Warm Spots or Uneven Cooling: These issues often come from restricted airflow or worn seals. They can affect stock in critical areas. We assess airflow patterns and sealing to restore balanced cooling.
- Ice Build-Up on Evaporators: Ice forms when airflow is restricted or defrost cycles aren’t working correctly. This reduces system efficiency. We clear the buildup and correct the underlying cause.
- Slow Temperature Recovery: Long recovery times after door openings can indicate dirty coils, weak fans or overcrowded shelving. We identify the source and adjust the system for faster, more stable recovery.
- Moisture or Condensation: Excess moisture usually points to seal deterioration or drainage issues. We check seals, insulation and drains to maintain a dry, well-regulated environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes ice to form along cool room shelving or stored items?
Ice on shelving usually occurs when moisture enters the room and freezes on cold surfaces. This may indicate poor sealing or frequent door openings. It can also signal restricted airflow around the evaporator. A technician can find the cause and adjust the system to stop ice from returning.
Why is my cool room running more than usual in hot weather?
Ambient heat increases the cooling load, forcing the system to run longer to maintain the set temperature. Dirty coils or worn fans can worsen this demand. Regular servicing helps the unit cope with hotter conditions. Upgrades may be recommended if temperatures routinely rise above expected levels.
What should I do if my cool room door is difficult to close or doesn’t seal properly?
A door that doesn’t close smoothly or seal tightly allows warm air to enter, which affects temperature control and increases energy use. This is often caused by worn hinges, damaged gaskets or alignment issues. Leaving it unresolved can reduce cooling efficiency and put extra strain on the system. A technician can realign the door and replace seals to restore proper closure.
