Buying commercial ice machines is certainly an option with Capital Equipment but in most cases the businesses we work with choose other options. The reason is that when you buy a commercial ice machine you may be saving in the broad scope of overall pricing but installation, routine maintenance, cleaning, service/repairs are not covered once the manufacturers’ warranty has expired. Of course, Capital Equipment can provide professional installation, service, and repairs but those come at additional costs to the business.

This means ice machines that make hundreds of pounds of ice per day or even ice dispensers in a small office, for example, get routine cleaning and sanitizing as well as water filter changes and factory-trained checkups to ensure clean, clear ice regularly which is advantageous and keeps access to ice hassle-free for the business.

When leasing commercial ice machines or ice equipment, cleaning and maintenance responsibilities fall on the business owners however any repairs needed during the lease agreement period are covered by Capital Equipment.
