Why You Need a Specialist Electrical Contractor for Cold Room Wiring and Controls

Ordinary Electricians Can’t Deliver Cold Room Reliability — Here’s Why

Cold rooms are critical infrastructure in industries like hospitality, healthcare, food processing, and logistics. Yet, many businesses still rely on general electricians for their cold room installations and repairs — a decision that often leads to breakdowns, inefficiencies, and non-compliance.

At ACRO Refrigeration, we’re not just licensed electricians — we specialise in electrical work for cold rooms, freezer rooms, and temperature-critical environments.


What Makes Cold Room Electrical Work So Unique?

✅ 1. Integrated Control Systems

Modern cold rooms use:

  • Digital temperature controllers

  • Defrost timers

  • Alarm relays

  • Compressor and fan sequencing

These must be wired and programmed correctly, or the room will fail to maintain temperature, risking product loss.

✅ 2. High Load Equipment

Compressors, evaporator fans, and heaters place significant electrical loads on the system. Oversized circuit breakers or incorrectly rated contactors lead to nuisance tripping or electrical fire risks.

✅ 3. Condensation and Moisture Risks

Cold room environments can cause electrical terminals to corrode or arc if not sealed and rated correctly. Specialist contractors use IP-rated junction boxes, heat-rated cable, and drip protection.
