January in Indiana doesn’t ease in quietly. Cold air settles in, frost creeps across parking lots, and heating systems work overtime across Indianapolis’ commercial buildings. At Quality Plumbing & Heating Inc., we help businesses protect their most valuable frozen assets – refrigeration systems, HVAC equipment,A and temperature-sensitive inventory – when winter is at its harshest.
Why January Is Tough on Refrigeration Systems
Extreme cold creates hidden challenges for commercial refrigeration. While it may seem counterintuitive, freezing outdoor temperatures can strain compressors, sensors, and control systems. Rapid temperature swings force equipment to cycle more often, increasing wear and energy use. Without proper maintenance, minor issues escalate quickly.
What’s at Risk When Systems Fail
When refrigeration systems struggle, the consequences are immediate. Businesses may face:
Spoiled inventory – Food, medical supplies, and temperature-sensitive materials lose integrity fast.
Operational downtime – Equipment failures can shut down kitchens, storage areas, or production lines.
Compliance issues – Temperature violations may trigger failed inspections or fines.
Rising energy costs – Inefficient systems burn more power during peak winter demand.
Protecting your assets means addressing problems before they surface.
Warning Signs to Watch This Winter
Cold weather often exposes weak points. Pay attention to:
Inconsistent temperatures inside coolers or freezers
Ice buildup around coils or doors
Unusual noises from compressors or fans
Frequent cycling or unexpected shutdowns
These signs indicate stress that needs professional attention.
