Electricians in Casino

A: The obvious first thing to check is how much you’re being charged per kilowatt-hour (kWH) by your electricity provider. If this is comparative to your neighbours bill or other providers, then the issue lies elsewhere. Common causes of power bills being higher than expected in Casino include faulty wiring, appliances or power meters; running your pool pump during peak hours and overusing your electric water heater. Any appliance or system that uses electricity to produce heat or cold will draw the most electricity. If not well maintained or used efficiently, they can be the biggest contributor to high energy bills.

A: Aside from the obvious daily and deep clean schedules—including clearing out your grease traps—there are a few maintenance tips for your Casino kitchen that can make a big difference.

1. Take temperatures – Don’t always rely on the reading from your fridge or oven. Manually take temperatures at least weekly to ensure everything’s in sync. A difference in readings could mean your equipment is developing an issue.
2. Clean you coils – With continual operation, fridges and freezers are particularly prone to problems. A usual suspect is dusty condenser or evaporator coils, which are easy to check and clean on a regular basis.
3. Check your seals – The rubber gaskets lining fridges, freezers and other appliances are important for maintaining temperature or keeping water out. They’re particularly prone to degradation, but relatively cheap to replace.
