Breakdown cost calculator

What would one refrigeration failure really cost you?

Put your own stock, trade and recovery figures into one ledger — no fake averages, it only adds what you tell it is exposed. Then take away a service-ready engineer brief and the monitoring that guards it.

1. Stabilise temperature

Move what can be saved, record fridge and freezer readings, and keep a written corrective-action trail.

2. Call with the ledger

Give the engineer the unit type, stock exposure, downtime window and whether temporary refrigeration is needed.

3. Prevent the repeat

Book planned maintenance or monitoring once the emergency is under control, especially for high-exposure units.

Your engineer brief

Copy this into a call note, message or email — it keeps the conversation practical.

Monitoring flags out-of-hours temperature drift before stock is lost. Replacement refrigeration is there when repair is marginal.
