Hawaii hasn’t seen a major island-wide grid failure recently, but the last two weeks prove something many facility managers already know: it doesn’t take a huge outage to cause a major HVAC-R disaster. Even momentary voltage drops, 5-minute shutdowns, and planned maintenance windows are still knocking refrigeration systems offline across Maui and Oahu—sometimes without businesses realizing until temperatures rise.

Hawaii’s tropical climate is as beautiful as it is challenging for HVAC systems.
