Cool Room Installs & Servicing
Cool rooms provide dependable, temperature-controlled storage that supports daily routines in hospitality, retail and food service environments. At Gilmour Air & Electrical, we design and install cool rooms that maintain steady temperatures, manage airflow effectively and suit the way each space is accessed and stocked.
Installations are planned around the type and volume of goods stored, how often the room is opened and the cooling load created throughout the day. Our maintenance services ensure insulation, coils, seals and fans operate as intended so cooling remains consistent and energy use stays predictable. We also upgrade older cool rooms to improve accuracy, capacity and long-term efficiency, integrating electrical or switchboard work where necessary.

Common Cool Room Issues
Cool rooms can encounter issues over time that affect temperature control and storage performance.
- Warm Spots or Uneven Cooling: Uneven temperatures may result from poor airflow, worn seals or insulation gaps. These issues can affect stored goods. We assess airflow and sealing to restore consistent conditions.
- Ice Build-Up on Evaporators: Ice can form when airflow is restricted or defrost cycles aren’t functioning correctly, reducing efficiency. We clear the buildup and correct the source of the problem.
- Long Recovery Times: Slow temperature recovery after door openings may indicate fan wear, coil dirt or overcrowded shelving. We identify the cause and adjust the system for faster, stable cooling.
- Moisture or Condensation Inside: Excess moisture often indicates seal deterioration or drainage issues. We inspect and repair components to maintain a dry, controlled environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my cool room struggle to maintain temperature during busy periods?
Frequent door openings introduce warm air that the system must remove quickly. High restocking rates can also place extra load on cooling components. Over time, this can slow temperature recovery. A technician can assess airflow and system capacity to ensure it meets your operational needs.
How can I stop items near the door from warming faster than others?
Door zones naturally experience more heat exposure due to repeated openings. Adjusting shelving or relocating sensitive items can help maintain product quality. Ensuring seals are in good condition also reduces heat transfer. We can review airflow patterns to improve temperature distribution.
Why does my cool room produce a damp smell?
Odours often develop when moisture collects in drains or on internal surfaces. Poor airflow or blocked drainage can make this more noticeable. Cleaning these areas usually resolves the issue. Regular servicing helps prevent odour-causing build-up.
