Many Avantco Refrigeration products are NSF compliant. All of our units are intended for use in a commercial setting, and each product undergoes rigorous testing to meet commercial standards. While not listed with NSF International, Avantco Refrigeration products are certified through ETL, a division of Intertek Group, a major testing laboratory.

Units showing the ETL Sanitation mark have been tested and are NSF-7 compliant for foodservice refrigerators and storage freezers or NSF-18 compliant for manual food and beverage dispensing equipment. 

Units showing the ETL US mark are UL-471 compliant for commercial refrigerators and freezers for electrical product safety. Full details are available on each product page and on related spec sheets. To determine specific compliance standards needed at your establishment, consult your local health and safety inspector.

R290 is a hydrocarbon based refrigerant derived from propane with a purity level of 97.5% or higher. It is natural and non-toxic. This specialized refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential of 0 and a global warming potential of 3, making it an environmentally-responsible choice for your business. Compared to other refrigerant types, purchasing an R290 refrigerant refrigerator or freezer can reduce energy costs by as much as 28%. Avantco Refrigeration model numbers ending in HC will feature R290 refrigerant.

We are unable to supply CAD or Revit files for design. However, all Avantco spec sheets will include 2-dimensional renderings and product sizing.

In order to keep our product pricing low and fulfill orders quickly for our customers, no custom colors, sizing, or voltages are available. The blue graphics on our merchandising refrigeration is easily removable, should you wish to create custom graphics. If ordering by the truckload, Avantco can work with our distributor WebstaurantStore to ship product with custom print graphics of your design. For more information, please contact WebstaurantStore at 717-392-7472.

Install your Avantco product indoors on a strong, level surface in a well-ventilated area. Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment. The unit should be plugged into an outlet of the appropriate voltage. Be sure to check the manual to see if your product requires its own dedicated outlet and to determine appropriate clearance. Do not use extension cords.

Uneven surfaces may cause poor performance or excessive noise. Avantco refrigerators are not tested for use outdoors. Malfunction due to high ambient temperatures, humidity, or an improperly maintained condenser coil will void the warranty.

No, all refrigerators and freezers should be shipped in an upright position. During delivery, the product may be tilted on its side to pass through doorways, if needed. If the unit is tilted during delivery, allow it to sit for 24 hours before plugging in. This will allow the refrigerant to settle.

All Avantco refrigerators ship with a right-hinge door design. Select Avantco models can be converted from a right-hinge door to a left-hinge. Instructions for performing a hinge reversal can be found in your product manual. Please consult your product spec sheet or contact us to inquire about reversible hinge kit availability for your model.

All Avantco beer coolers are sold with an included D system coupler. You will need to obtain a CO2 tank, CO2 regulator, and gas hoses prior to installation. While our distribution partners sell compatible regulators and gas hoses, you will want to consult a local beer supplier or your installer to determine the proper CO2 tank size needed for your business.

This information can be found in the spec sheet of the refrigerator or freezer you are interested in purchasing. Spec sheets are located on this website as part of each product’s page.

A number of factors can contribute to fogging and condensation within your Avantco Refrigeration product. When choosing the best location for your refrigerator or freezer, it is important to consider humidity in addition to accounting for ambient temperatures and ventilation. The proper humidity level for your space should be around 45-50%, as measured by a hygrometer. Opening and shutting the equipment frequently or a clog in the evaporator drain pan can also cause condensation.
