 IV. Pitfall Warnings

Do not choose quotes below RMB 20,000: they likely use refurbished old units and inferior insulation panels, leading to severe cold leakage, extra electricity costs of RMB 5,000+ per year, and frequent breakdowns

Prioritize B1 flame-retardant insulation panels: compliant with fire safety requirements, avoiding safety hazards

For small cold rooms, choose air-cooled units: no cooling tower needed, easy maintenance, suitable for small businesses
