Properly Sized Refrigeration Systems For New Construction, Renovations, And Equipment Upgrades In Sarasota, Florida And Surrounding Areas
Licensed Putnam Mechanical Technicians | Load-Calculated Design | Code-Compliant Installation
A poorly designed refrigeration system struggles with temperature stability from the day it is installed, not because the equipment is bad, but because it was never sized correctly for the space, the product load, or the way the business actually operates. Whether you are opening a new restaurant, renovating a kitchen, or replacing an undersized system that has never worked quite right, getting the design right from the start matters more than simply choosing a larger unit and hoping it will be enough.
Headquartered in Sarasota, Putnam Mechanical designs and installs commercial refrigeration systems throughout Collier County, Hillsborough County, Lee County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County and the surrounding areas, including Bonita Springs, Bradenton, Brandon, Cape Coral, Clearwater, Estero, Fort Myers, Lakewood Ranch, Largo, Naples, North Port, Riverview, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Venice. Our experts provide walk-in coolers and freezers, multi-case display refrigeration, and back-of-house cold storage. We calculate the actual cooling load based on product type, door traffic, ambient kitchen temperature, and required holding temperature, rather than defaulting to a standard size that may not match your specific operation.
An undersized refrigeration system runs constantly trying to keep up and still struggles to hold temperature during busy service or frequent door openings. An oversized system short-cycles, wastes energy, and can struggle with humidity and frost control because it cools faster than it can properly dehumidify. Getting the load calculation right, accounting for door traffic, product load, and ambient temperature, is what determines whether a new refrigeration system performs well for the next 10 to 15 years or becomes a recurring problem from day one for your business in Collier, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pinellas, Sarasota County and surrounding.
Before recommending equipment, the commercial refrigeration and HVAC experts at Putnam Mechanical, headquartered in Sarasota and serving all of Collier County, Hillsborough County, Lee County, Manatee County, Pinellas County, Sarasota County and surrounding, review the space available, the type and volume of product being stored, how often doors will be opened during service, the ambient temperature of the surrounding kitchen or storage area, and any code requirements specific to your business type. A site visit lets our team confirm these details rather than designing a system around assumptions or a generic template.
