Commercial bottle coolers operate using a sealed refrigeration system that removes heat from the interior. Powerful compressors circulate refrigerant through condenser coils, where heat dissipates, before flowing to the evaporator to cool the internal cabinet. Fan-forced systems ensure even temperature distribution—typically between 2-10°C—maintaining perfect serving temperatures for beers, wines, and soft drinks. Most units feature adjustable shelving, LED lighting for product visibility, and self-closing doors with magnetic seals to maintain efficiency. Unlike domestic fridges, commercial refrigeration systems are built for continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 32°C, perfect for hot, busy bar environments.
Having supplied commercial refrigeration for five decades, we've learned what works. 'The biggest mistake pub owners make is underestimating capacity needs,' explains Mark, our refrigeration specialist. 'For busy venues, I always recommend sizing up slightly and prioritising rapid cooling recovery—it pays for itself during peak times.'
The Star & Anchor, a bustling gastropub in Bristol, was struggling with unreliable refrigeration and soaring energy bills. After consulting with our team, they invested in three energy-efficient back bar coolers with LED lighting and digital temperature control. 'It's transformed our service speed,' reports manager James. 'The bottle visibility with the LED lighting has boosted premium beer sales by 30%, and our electricity bills have dropped noticeably. The investment paid for itself within the first year!' They've since added a matching undercounter glass washer for a complete bar solution.

Keep your commercial refrigeration performing at its best by maintaining clearance around ventilation areas and regularly cleaning condenser coils—this alone can improve efficiency by up to 25%. Stock your cooler strategically, with fastest-selling items most accessible, and maintain good stock rotation. For glass-door models, organise bottles with labels facing forward to boost sales. During quieter periods, consider consolidating stock and switching off unused units to save energy. Finally, check door seals monthly for wear and clean internal surfaces weekly with food-safe sanitiser.
