A refrigeration emergency can happen anytime—day or night, weekend or mid-event. When it does, it’s not just inconvenient… it can seriously impact your business.

Whether you’re storing food, drink, flowers, or pharmaceuticals, a sudden fridge or freezer failure puts valuable stock at risk. The good news? With quick thinking and the right backup in place, you can keep your cool and carry on.

Here’s what to do if your cold storage goes down unexpectedly.

1️⃣ Keep the Doors Closed

It might sound simple, but it’s effective. Keep fridge and freezer doors closed as much as possible to trap the cold air inside. Every minute the doors are open, internal temperatures rise—so sealing in the chill buys you valuable time.

2️⃣ Move Perishables to Alternative Cold Storage

If you have access to another working fridge or freezer—either on-site or nearby—move your most perishable stock quickly. Prioritise high-risk items like dairy, meat, or ready-to-eat foods.

If you don’t have a backup on hand, don’t worry—that’s where we come in.
