Mortuary Cooler Electrical Prep: Ensuring Safe & Compliant Installation

Preparing Your Electrical System for Mortuary Cooler Installation: A Guide from American Mortuary Coolers

When you're preparing for the arrival of your new upright mortuary cooler, walk-in mortuary cooler, or funeral home cooler, ensuring your electrical system is ready is just as crucial as having the space cleared. American Mortuary Coolers emphasizes the importance of proper electrical preparation to guarantee a smooth installation and prevent future issues.

Why Electrical Readiness Is Essential:

Your mortuary cooler, whether it's an upright mortuary cooler for compact spaces or a larger walk-in mortuary cooler, relies on a stable and dedicated electrical supply to operate correctly. Inadequate electrical preparation can lead to:

  • Installation Delays: If the electrical system isn't ready, your cooler cannot be installed, causing delays and potential disruptions.
  • Performance Issues: An insufficient or unstable power supply can compromise your cooler's performance, leading to temperature fluctuations and potential damage to stored contents.
  • Safety Hazards: Improper electrical work can create significant safety hazards, including electrical fires and shock risks.
  • Warranty Voidance: Failure to adhere to specific electrical requirements can result in your cooler's warranty being voided.

Dedicated Power: A Must-Have for Mortuary Coolers:

Your mortuary cooler requires a dedicated electrical circuit. This means:

  • Dedicated Breaker: The cooler must have its own circuit breaker in the electrical panel. This breaker should not be shared with any other equipment or outlets.
  • Surge Protection: The electrical circuit must include surge protection. This protects your cooler's sensitive components from power surges, which can be particularly damaging.

Prohibited Practices: Extension Cords and Their Consequences:

  • No Extension Cords: The use of extension cords to power your mortuary cooler is strictly prohibited. Extension cords are not designed for the sustained power demands of refrigeration equipment and pose a significant fire hazard.
  • Warranty Voidance: Using extension cords will result in the immediate voidance of your cooler's warranty.

Licensed Electrician: A Requirement for Proper Installation:

American Mortuary Coolers strongly emphasizes the need for a licensed electrician to perform the electrical work for your cooler installation.

  • State Licensing: The electrician must be licensed to operate in your specific state. This ensures they meet the necessary qualifications and are familiar with local electrical codes.
  • Proper Installation: A licensed electrician will ensure that the electrical system is installed correctly, safely, and in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Warranty Requirements: Documentation and Verification:

To validate your cooler's warranty, American Mortuary Coolers may require specific information regarding the electrical installation.

  • Company Name and License Numbers: We may request the name and license number of the electrician who performed the work. This documentation helps us verify that the installation was done by a qualified professional.
