Stay Audit-Ready and Protect Children’s Health with This Practical Refrigeration Compliance Guide for QLD Child Care Centres

Child care centres in Queensland are legally required to store food safely in line with the Food Act 2006 (QLD) and Safe Food QLD standards. If your centre stores, prepares, or serves food, refrigeration compliance isn’t just best practice — it’s a legal obligation.

Here’s a practical refrigeration compliance checklist tailored to child care environments to help you stay audit-ready, reduce risk, and protect children’s health.

---

1. Correct Temperature Control

• Refrigerators must be kept at or below 5°C

• Freezers must be at or below -15°C

• Use digital thermometers or integrated monitoring systems to log and verify daily temperatures.

---

2. Daily Temperature Logging

• Record fridge and freezer temperatures at least once per day

• Maintain logs for at least 12 months in case of audit or food safety investigations

• Investigate and document any breaches immediately

---

3. Food Storage Best Practices

• Label all food with date received or opened

• Use sealed, food-grade containers and store raw foods below ready-to-eat items

• Avoid overloading fridges, which can block airflow and cause uneven cooling

---

4. Regular Servicing of Refrigeration Equipment

• Have all commercial refrigeration units serviced at least annually (preferably quarterly in QLD’s humid climate)

• Check door seals, fan motors, thermostats, and defrost cycles for proper operation

• Keep service records as part of your Food Safety Plan

---

5. Emergency Backup Plan

• Have a documented process for responding to refrigeration failure (e.g. power outages, mechanical faults)

• Include:

  • Contact details for your refrigeration service provider

  • Safe food transfer plan

  • Cooler storage protocols or disposal procedures

---

6. Cleaning & Hygiene

• Clean interior and exterior surfaces weekly with food-safe disinfectant

• Include fridge and freezer cleaning in your centre’s HACCP plan

• Check for mould, odour, and expired food during cleaning

---

Why It Matters

Non-compliance can result in:

• Foodborne illness among children

• Breach of your centre’s licence conditions

• Fines, enforcement notices, or closure by your local council

---

Need Help With Compliance?

At ACRO Refrigeration, we help child care centres across Brisbane,  Logan, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast maintain refrigeration systems that meet all Food Act 2006 and Safe Food QLD requirements.

Our Preventive Maintenance Agreements include:

• Compliance-friendly service reporting

• Temperature sensor checks

• Emergency repair response

• 5-year workmanship guarantee

Compare kWh rates, system sizes and real-world case studies—plus a free cost-saving checklist from Acro Refrigeration.

---

1. Quick kWh-Cost Table (SE Queensland Tariff 11, $0.27/kWh*)

*Tariff 11 QLD April 2025; adjust for your retailer.
**kW refers to nominal cooling capacity; kWh consumption based on average COP of 3.3 in 32 °C ambient.

---

2. How to Calculate Running Costs Yourself

Formula:
Running cost ($) = (Cooling kW ÷ COP) × Electricity rate (¢/kWh) × Operating hours

Example—25 kW unit:
25 kW ÷ 3.3 COP = 7.6 kWh × $0.27 = $2.05/hr

3. Seven Proven Ways to Slash Your HVAC Bill

1. Raise set-point 1 °C = up to 10 % energy saving.

2. Quarterly filter changes—dirty filters add 5–15 % load.

3. Variable-speed drives on supply fans—average 20 % cut.

4. Economiser cycle on rooftop units—free cooling below 22 °C.

5. BTMS monitoring—detects compressor short-cycling early.

6. Night purge strategy for offices—flush heat before start-up.

7. Capex vs Opex—replace R-22 systems >15 yrs; modern inverter units halve kWh.

Link: maintenance checklist blog.

---

4. Case Study: Gold Coast Retail Chain Saves $3,600 per Year

Problem: 14 kW ducted splits short-cycling, high bills.
Solution: Acro Refrigeration installed VSD drives and staged compressors.
Result: 18 % kWh reduction = $3.6 k/yr across three stores, ROI in 14 months.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest tariff for commercial HVAC?

• Large sites on Tariff 20 or demand tariffs can pay 10–15 % less per kWh.

Does solar offset HVAC costs?

• Yes—rooftop package units run during daylight. A 30 kW solar array can cover ~40 % of annual HVAC kWh.

Should I run AC overnight to “store” cooling?

• No—heat gains overnight usually exceed any benefit. Use night-purge or setback only. </details>

1. Why the First 30 Minutes Matter

• Perishable goods can spoil in < 1 hour once temps exceed 5 °C.

• Server-room electronics fail at 35 °C.

• Rising humidity = mould risk and OH&S complaints.
  Act fast and you can avoid thousands in product loss and emergency call-out fees.

Rooftop vs split system commercial air conditioning. What is the right for your business?

1. Quick Comparison Table

---

2. What Is a Rooftop Package Unit (RTU)?

A rooftop unit is a single, factory-built HVAC package that sits on the roof. It houses compressor, evaporator, condenser, and supply/return fans in one weather-tight cabinet. Supply and return ductwork penetrate the roof to serve the occupied area below.

Pros

• All-in-one footprint makes installation quick.

• Frees up valuable floor area for revenue-earning use.

• Easy to service without disrupting tenants.

• Built-in economisers can use free cooling on mild nights.

Cons

• Crane lift can add $3 000–$10 000 to install.

• Exposed to salt and UV—requires quality coating.

• Long duct runs can create static-pressure losses if badly designed.

---

3. What Is a Commercial Split System?

A split system separates the outdoor condenser from one or more indoor fan-coil units. Refrigerant lines run between them. Commercial-grade splits start at 7 kW and go up to ~25 kW per head; multiple heads can serve zones independently.

Pros

• Lower up-front equipment cost.

• Energy-efficient inverter compressors.

• Flexible zoning—cool offices and meeting rooms separately.

• Easier to retrofit where roof space is restricted.

Cons

• Indoor units consume ceiling/wall real estate.

• Drainage piping through ceiling voids needs fall and insulation.

• Multiple condensers can clutter façades if not planned.

---

4. Six Factors to Help You Decide

4.1 Building Size & Layout

• < 500 m² with internal partitions → split systems or VRF.

• > 500 m² open warehouse/retail → rooftop package.

4.2 Roof Structure & Crane Access

Steel portal frames and flat roofs take RTU weight easily. Heritage roofs? Go split.

4.3 Installation Budget vs Life-Cycle Cost

Splits cost ~15 % less in hardware but can run extra refrigerant piping and future maintenance. RTU cranes are expensive up-front but lower long-term service costs.

4.4 Energy Efficiency Targets

• RTU with economiser + VSD fans can reach COP > 4.0.

• Split with high-SEER inverter hits COP 3.5–4.2, great for small zones.

4.5 Maintenance Access & Tenant Disruption

RTU: techs work outside, zero disruption. Splits: quarterly filter changes above desks; schedule after hours.

4.6 Future Expansion

RTU capacity upgrades mean swapping one unit. Splits: add another head/compressor pair, but pipework limits may apply.

---

5. Real-World Case Studies

Case 1 — Yatala Logistics Warehouse (2 000 m²)

A client installed two 85 kW RTUs with duct sox. Result: 18 % lower operating cost vs multiple splits, zero floor-space loss.

Case 2 — Surfers Paradise Boutique Hotel (30 rooms)

Replaced ageing RTUs with 14 high-SEER split systems for zoning per room. Guests now control their own climate; electricity use down 12 %.

6. Frequently Asked Questions

Which system is cheaper to maintain?

• RTUs centralise components—one set of filters, belts, and coils—generally reducing annual service labour by 10–20 % compared with many split units.

Do rooftop units need planning approval?

•  In Queensland most roofs allow RTUs under “minor mechanical plant,” but councils may require development approval in noise-sensitive zones.

Can you mix both systems?

• Yes—common in large retailers: RTU for shop floor, splits for offices and server rooms.
• Acro designs hybrid solutions.

Running a retail shop, warehouse, or multi-storey office in Queensland’s heat means your HVAC is mission-critical. A single breakdown can cost thousands in lost trade and emergency call-outs. Use our commercial air-conditioning maintenance checklist to:

• Reduce surprise breakdowns by up to 40 %

• Slash energy waste (clients see 10–15 % savings)

• Keep documented proof for QBCC and NCC audits

Why a Structured Checklist Saves You Money

---

Monthly Tasks for Site Managers (DIY)

• Verify thermostat set-points vs actual room temperature

• Inspect filter access doors—ensure seals intact

• Check for unusual vibration or noise after hours

• Ensure return-air grilles are obstruction-free

• Wipe controller screens and test fault indicators

Pro tip: Set a recurring calendar alert. Five minutes each month can prevent a five-hour breakdown.

---

Quarterly Tasks (Recommended by Acro Refrigeration)

1. Replace or clean filters

2. Tighten electrical terminals; record amperage draw

3. Treat condensate drains with antibacterial tablets

4. Inspect fan belts for glazing and tension

5. Lubricate motor bearings (if non-sealed)

6. Clean condenser coils with low-pressure water spray

7. Check sight glass & measure superheat / sub-cool (refrigerant health)

---

Annual Deep-Service Items

---

How to Use This Checklist With Your Rooftop or Split Systems

• Rooftop package units: focus on filter changes and condenser-coil cleaning—these units run hotter.

• Large split systems (≥ 20 kW): ensure both indoor and outdoor coils are documented separately.

• VRV/VRF systems: add refrigerant leak-detection log to your monthly tasks.
