The Opportunity
Start Growing a Business You Can Be Proud Of
Commercial refrigeration gaskets need to be replaced anywhere from every three months to a year depending on use. Torn gaskets can be a big problem, they lead to health and safety violations as well as high utility bills. The amount of refrigeration units in your market is mind boggling when you think of all the restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, schools, hotels, hospitals etc. that use commercial kitchen equipment. And as a wear item, they all need to be replaced regularly!
What Makes Gasket Guy Different
Most customers are used to paying exorbitant prices to refrigeration companies that don't really want to or are not versed in the various types of gaskets in the market these days. They also often don't realize that there's a company out there that specializes in this niche market. Someone that knows this market and has fast access to these products along with cutting boards, hardware, and strip curtains.
The Gasket Market
Gaskets and the associated hardware are absolutely everywhere you look - restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, schools, hospitals and much more. These rubber gaskets are a consumable product that wear out over time. The rate that replacement is needed varies by use and how busy a kitchen or store is, but it can be as often as every other month or as long as once a year. On average, a gasket would need replacement every 6 months. To further the need for replacement, in most areas it's a health department violation to have a torn or moldy gasket. Health inspections and corporate inspections will identify these faults and the store is required to replace them in order to not receive failing inspections. Another driving factor is the need to ensure equipment is keeping the cold air where it belongs, prolonging the life of the equipment and maximizing energy efficiency.
