When purchasing new kitchen equipment, opt to buy higher-quality items (like refrigeration) with longer warranties over less expensive items with shorter warranties. Brands like Arctic Air, True and Beverage Air generally offer a 3yr warranty with an extended compressor warranty, whereas brands like Asber and Adcraft offer 2yrs or less. When purchasing quality equipment, you may spend less on maintenance down the road.

When you spend money on commercial kitchen equipment, you also spend on energy consumption. Although the price of Energy Star-rated equipment is generally higher than non-rated equipment, the energy savings collected make up for the price. In Georgia alone, the Energy Star rebates offered through Georgia Power exceed the cost of equipment upgrades.

When purchasing equipment like ice machines and deep fryers, always buy the filter add-ons and cleaning systems that go with them. Why? Because these items are among the most used and least maintained in any commercial kitchen. Purchasing necessary ice machine and/or deep fryer oil filters will prolong the life of the equipment and will help save on maintenance down the road.
