How We Service Condensers
Steven, a Senior Technician here at Berg Industrial Service has years of experience in all aspects of refrigeration repair for the most complex units imaginable.
However, he often calls himself a “highly paid janitor” because one of the most common service calls his team receives is for dirty condensers.

Why is that?
Most (but not all) condensers sit on the rooftops of cold room installations and ice rinks.
Every single day for years on end, they’re exposed all sorts of weather elements:
- Snow
- Rain
- Wind
- Hail
- Extreme heat and cold
Not to mention things like dust and pollution.
Over time, thick layers of dirt and grease form atop the condenser.
As a result, they lose their ability to dissipate heat.
The importance of keeping condensers clean
Cleaning your condensers is crucial.
Keeping them that way is just as vital because it accomplishes a few things for your system.
All of which are good and positive:
- It eliminates the need to schedule an emergency service call to clean them
- It lengthens the lifespan of your equipment
- It improves the energy efficiency and saves money in the long run
Lastly, a clean condenser will cool the industrial refrigeration installation building to its set-point much faster than a dirty one.
The unit won’t need to run as long, which reduces wear and tear on your screw compressors too.
