Industrial refrigeration in Urubamba

Urubamba makes its living from tourism, its food scene and farming, and almost all of those businesses depend on keeping things cold. A restaurant needs its cold rooms and freezers running for every service; a hotel or lodge stores the food for its kitchen; a shop or minimarket loses stock when the display case stops cooling.

At ANSIMA we install, repair and maintain industrial and commercial refrigeration, with qualified technicians and personalized service tailored to each client's needs. These are the units we work on:

• Cold rooms and walk-in coolers.
• Commercial freezers and refrigerators.
• Display cases and display fridges.

A refrigeration failure rarely gives you warning. It tends to happen when your place is full or the stock is inside, and every hour without cooling costs you money. Because we're based in Urubamba, we can schedule the visit without relying on a technician who has to come from another city, and we provide 24-hour emergency service.

The price of each job depends on the distance, the size of the project and the number of days of work. Within Urubamba the distance is short. If your business is in Ollantaytambo, Calca or Písac, the distance is factored into the quote.

Urubamba sits at about 2,900 meters above sea level. At that altitude the air is less dense, and units with air-cooled condensers get rid of less heat and lose part of the capacity listed on their spec sheet. That's why it pays to choose and size your equipment with the altitude in mind, not just the catalog figures.

On top of that come the rains and humidity, from November to March, and the tourist high season, from May to September. The sensible thing is to schedule preventive maintenance before those periods. A checkup normally includes:

• cleaning the condenser and the evaporator;
• checking the drain and the electrical connections;
• testing the thermostat and how the unit runs overall.

Timely maintenance costs less than a breakdown in the middle of the season, and it extends the service life of your equipment.
