Make Your August Commercial Refrigeration SmartLock Safe
Remember the summer blackout of 2003? We do. It impacted many commercial refrigeration units. It was the Northeast blackout and it was a power outage throughout part of the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, and the Canadian province of Ontario. At the time of August 14th, it was the world’s second most widespread blackout in history, after the 1999 Southern Brazil blackout. The outage, which was much more widespread than the Northeast blackout of 1965, affected an estimated 10 million people in Southern and Central Ontario, and 45 million people in eight U.S. states.
A very hot August is a time of high energy use and costs as it relates to air conditioning and keeping things cool.
Keeping people cool and food even cooler.
Long summer days with full sun and very hot weather, means that the risk of power outages increases. On extremely hot days it means that overloads to power grids often happen. This August make sure that your commercial refrigeration systems are up for the task.
SmartLock™ keeps things in check and protects
