How do you route Los Altos Hills from San Ramon?

It is about an hour down 680, and we pair it with Palo Alto, Saratoga, and Los Gatos calls on Peninsula and South Bay days. For a failure before a scheduled event we make a direct trip. Gate codes and staff contacts arranged in advance keep the visit smooth.

The unit is in a guest house the owner rarely visits. Can you service it without the owner present?

Yes, we regularly coordinate through estate managers and chefs. The written quote goes to whoever approves the spending, and we leave a service record with the unit.

Is commercial equipment in a home actually worth maintaining?

Yes, more than most owners think. A Continental reach-in is built to be rebuilt: relays, capacitors, fan motors, and gaskets are all serviceable. With a coil cleaning every year or two, these cabinets outlast several residential refrigerators.

Continental Refrigerator in Los Altos Hills

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Los Altos Hills is entirely residential, so the Continental units we service here live in homes built for entertaining: catering kitchens with commercial reach-ins, wine service areas with worktop coolers, and guest house kitchens fitted with prep tables for private chefs. The equipment is commercial, so the work runs through our commercial division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.

Hillside properties create service conditions town kitchens never see. Units live in basements and detached structures at the end of long electrical runs, ambient temperatures swing with the seasons in unconditioned spaces, and access sometimes involves a golf cart. I bring the same measurements everywhere: voltage under load, amp draw, superheat. Compressors get condemned by numbers, not by guesswork.

The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, quotes are written, repairs carry a one year warranty, and we schedule seven days around household calendars.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Start failures in unconditioned basements and outbuildings. A reach-in in a cold basement in winter and a hot pool house in summer sees ambient swings that drift capacitors out of spec. The compressor hums and trips seasonally, which confuses everyone. We test the start components at actual ambient, replace what has drifted, and verify starting amps.
Condenser coils blocked in built-in cabinetry. Los Altos Hills kitchens are finished by designers, and commercial units end up boxed into millwork without the airflow Continental specifies. Head pressure runs high and the unit is loud and warm to the touch. We clean the coil, restore what clearance we can, and document what the cabinetmaker needs to change.
Drain freeze-ups discovered weeks late in low-traffic kitchens. A catering kitchen used monthly can flood quietly for weeks before anyone opens the door. We clear the iced drain, fix pitch and defrost faults, treat any corrosion in the cabinet base, and suggest a simple leak alarm for kitchens that sit unused.
