Frequently Asked Questions

Customer questions about this sector

How much does it cost to install a cold room for a mid-sized restaurant? +
Cold room cost for a mid-sized restaurant (10-15 m³) ranges between SAR 15,000 and SAR 25,000 including the insulated panel, condensing unit, evaporator, and installation labour. Final pricing depends on the target temperature and panel grade.
What is the difference between a restaurant cold room and a freezer room? +
A cold room operates at +2 °C to +8 °C to keep fresh items for days, while a freezer room operates at -18 °C to -25 °C to keep items for months. The main differences are insulation thickness (80 mm for chillers vs 150 mm for freezers) and compressor capacity.
Do I need municipality or SFDA permits for a cold room? +
Yes. Larger restaurant projects require both a municipality license and SFDA conformity. Elfarida Ice provides design consultations that meet every official requirement.
How do I keep cold-room temperature stable when the door is opened frequently? +
We recommend an air curtain or strip curtains at the door, a fast-response controller, and a balanced make-up air supply to prevent ice build-up around the doorway.
