Question 5

What is included in your monthly maintenance plans?

Our affordable monthly plans typically cover regular health checks, cleaning of condensor coils, F-Gas leak testing, and in many cases, include call-outs and labour. We tailor every plan to the specific needs of your kitchen or retail space.

Question 6

Can you install bespoke walk-in cold rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialise in the design and installation of custom cold rooms and freezer suites. We work with various sectors, including hospitality, butchers, florists, and pharmaceuticals, to create cooling spaces tailored to specific dimensions and temperature requirements.

Question 7

Do you provide PAT testing for commercial kitchens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside refrigeration and AC, we provide Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and issue certified reports. This helps businesses maintain full health and safety compliance under one service provider.

Question 8

How often should my commercial air conditioning be serviced?

Accepted Answer

For most commercial environments, we recommend a minimum of two service visits per year. However, high-use areas like restaurant kitchens or server rooms may require quarterly maintenance to ensure optimal performance and air quality.

Question 9

Do you offer leasing options for new refrigeration equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. To help businesses manage cash flow, we offer flexible leasing options. This allows you to install the latest energy-efficient cooling technology for a manageable weekly or monthly fee.

Question 10

Why is my commercial fridge leaking water or freezing over?

Accepted Answer

Common causes include blocked drainage lines, damaged door seals, or iced-up evaporator coils. If you notice these issues, it's best to book a service visit immediately to prevent the motor from burning out.

Question 11

Do you offer multi-site commercial refrigeration contracts for facility managers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. R4NK1N provides enterprise-grade multi-site maintenance contracts, 24/7 priority SLAs, and automated F-Gas digital audit reporting across the UK. You can review our full PQQ governance and contract options on our Facilities Management & Corporate Contracts page.

Accepted Answer

Yes. We supply core digital controllers directly from stock, including the Dixell X-Cool (£39.50), Dixell X-Freeze (£49.50), and universal Eliwell ID Chillnfreeze (£51.00), all with tracked UK courier delivery and NTC sensor probes included. Units can be dispatched bare, bench pre-programmed to your target temperature envelope (+£15), or installed on-site by our F-Gas certified engineers across Stafford and the West Midlands. Alongside controllers, our no-faff spares service sources OEM and universal components—including door gaskets, EBM fan motors, Danfoss expansion valves, defrost heaters, and Carel boards. Simply provide your equipment make, model, or a data plate photo for a fast quote and direct dispatch.

Question 13

What variants and hardware configurations of temperature monitoring do you supply?

Accepted Answer

We supply several tailored configurations of our commercial cellular telemetry system depending on your facility:   
Single-Zone Walk-In (Standard): Industrial IP65 NB-IoT logger fitted with a 1m flat thermistor ribbon probe, ideal for standalone walk-in chillers, cold rooms, or sub-zero freezers (£29.00 + VAT/month).   
Dual-Zone Combo (Chiller + Freezer): A single cellular hub with dual independent probes to simultaneously monitor a fresh food cold room (+2°C) and a walk-in freezer (-18°C) on one subscription (£39.00 + VAT/month).   
Refrigerated Transport & Trailers: Vibration-tested, shock-resistant units equipped with unsteered multi-network roaming SIMs for refrigerated vans, event hire trailers, and mobile cold storage.   
Cellar & Curing Humidity (%RH): Combined ambient temperature and relative humidity loggers designed for beer cellars, charcuterie drying rooms, and dry-aging meat cabinets.   
Plant Room & Condensate Leak Detection: Water-rope and point sensors that alert against condensate drain backups or cellar flooding before compressor damage occurs.   
Extended Reach Probes: Heavy-duty probe leads available in 2m, 3m, and 5m lengths for deep industrial chambers or high-bulkhead routing.

Question 14

Do you offer remote video call diagnostics or technical triage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer engineer-led video triage sessions as a chargeable diagnostic service designed to reduce or eliminate full physical call-out costs.

Available through our technical desk between 10:00 and 15:00 (subject to engineer availability), an F-Gas certified technician connects directly via a secure smartphone link to review controller error codes, inspect evaporator coil icing, evaluate airflow, and triage plant performance in real time.

If the fault can be resolved safely by guiding your duty manager through immediate corrective steps, you protect your perishable stock while avoiding an expensive emergency van deployment. If on-site repairs are unavoidable, the video consultation pre-identifies the exact components required, streamlining physical site labour and reducing overall repair downtime.
