Why Southeast customers rent refrigeration
Long, hot, humid warm seasons keep refrigeration compressors working hard, and a failing walk-in can lose temperature fast.
Restaurants, grocers, food distributors, and healthcare kitchens in the region often rent a trailer when a compressor fails in the heat.
Across the region, the sourced state research on these pages points to these recurring risks:
- Tornado: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Each can take a walk-in offline or close a kitchen, which is when customers rent a refrigerated trailer.
- Flood: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Each can take a walk-in offline or close a kitchen, which is when customers rent a refrigerated trailer.
- Hurricane: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Each can take a walk-in offline or close a kitchen, which is when customers rent a refrigerated trailer.
- Heat wave: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Each can take a walk-in offline or close a kitchen, which is when customers rent a refrigerated trailer.
- Winter storm: Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Each can take a walk-in offline or close a kitchen, which is when customers rent a refrigerated trailer.
