What is ambient temperature, and why does it matter for commercial fridges?
Ambient temperature is the room temperature around your fridge or freezer.
If the surrounding environment is too hot, the fridge may need to work harder to maintain the correct internal temperature. This can increase energy use, strain the compressor and affect cooling performance.
This is especially important for cafés, restaurants, takeaway shops, supermarkets and convenience stores where heat, poor ventilation or direct sunlight can affect refrigeration performance.
We’ve published a full guide explaining fridge ambient temperature and what to check before buying.
