With so many models and brands of cold rooms to choose from on the market, it is wise to have a good idea of what you need and what you are looking for. There are various factors you could base the decision on what kind of cold room to get – whether you want a specific size or shape of cold room or whether you want a standalone cold room or one with a motor.

Before you start picking out your favourite cold room set-up, you need to determine how much space you have for a cold room. Otherwise, not having that information could cause problems further down the line.

If you know whether you will be keeping large quantities of goods in bulk or just a few things at a time, the size and style of cold room you need is very different.

In this day and age, you will likely be interested in purchasing an energy efficient cold room. You need to find out what the energy rating of the model is that you want. If it has a high rating, will it increase your energy bills more than you can handle?

Generally speaking, the best cold room would be one that is reliable, energy-efficient and ideal for its main purpose, keeping your products at the desired storage temperatures.

The features of the cold room you purchase should meet the needs and requirements of your business. It is best to purchase a cold room with an adjustable thermostat and an auto-defrost function as this will give you more flexibility over temperatures.

You should also give important thought to the size and quantity of the shelves and fixtures in a cold room. Finally, it is crucial that there is enough storage space for everything you intend to keep in your cold room.
