Creating a Powerful Business

Are you getting ready to purchase a used commercial freezer for your restaurant's kitchen? Here are few things you should do before or during the purchase process:

Schedule an Inspection

One important thing you should be when investing in a used freezer for your restaurant is to schedule an inspection for it immediately. While you should expect the freezer to be in sound working condition, there may be some underlying issues that nobody is aware of. If these issues are not caught and corrected right away, you could end up having to deal with repairs or even face the need to replace it before long.

If possible, have a third-party professional inspect the freezer before you purchase it. If the seller will not allow this, have the freezer inspected as soon as it gets installed in your restaurant and before you use it for the first time so that you know exactly what kind of shape it is in. It's a good idea to make sure that the seller has a return policy that will allow you to return the freezer if the inspector finds any serious problems.

Look for an Extended Warranty

You should also find out whether you can purchase an extended warranty for the freezer while you are in the process of buying it. Depending on the age and condition of the freezer, it may or may not come with a valid manufacturer's warranty. Many companies sell extended warranties for used products like vehicles, televisions, and even appliances like commercial freezers.

If the company or person you are buying the used freezer from does not sell extended warranties, contact the manufacturer for referrals to companies that can offer you an extended warranty. Your insurance company may be able to offer you one, or they might know which local companies can.

Inquire About Buyback Programs

It is also a good idea to find out if the seller offers any buyback programs to take advantage of. Some companies that sell used items like commercial freezers are willing to purchase their equipment back at a later time when it is no longer needed. For example, your seller might buy the freezer back from you later if you decide to purchase a new one, given that the used one is still in working condition. If you know how the buyback program works now, you will know what needs to be done to sell the freezer back later which will save you some time and stress when the time to sell back comes.
