How do you route Palo Alto from a San Ramon base?

Across the Dumbarton Bridge on 84, about 45 minutes outside rush hour. Palo Alto pairs with Atherton, Los Altos Hills, and even Saratoga runs on the same Peninsula day, so we schedule this side of the Bay in blocks. We are available 7 days.

Can you service the built-in unit our remodeler installed?

Yes. Commercial-style built-ins in Palo Alto homes are a regular part of our work, including units the original installer no longer supports. Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair, and you get the quote in writing first.

Our restaurant cannot afford downtime. How do you handle that?

Most Continental diagnostics take under an hour and many repairs finish the same visit because I stock common start components, fan motors, and gaskets on the truck. If a part must be ordered, I tell you the real lead time and whether the unit can safely limp until then.

Continental Refrigerator in Palo Alto

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Palo Alto splits its Continental population in two. The restaurant kitchens on University Avenue and California Avenue run prep tables and reach-ins at full commercial pace, while Old Palo Alto and Crescent Park estates hide built-in commercial-style units installed during high-end remodels. Both fail, and both are ours.

Commercial work here runs through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, the refrigeration division of ADRIUM Service Solutions, owner Andrew Kuznetsov, CSLB #1136642. I am EPA Section 608 Universal certified. Quotes are written, the $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, and repairs carry a one year warranty.

Palo Alto kitchens tend to call late, after the unit has been limping for weeks. By then a simple airflow problem has cooked the start components too. My advice: call when the box first starts running long cycles, not when the salad rail hits 50 degrees on a Friday night.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Cascading failures: dirty condenser first, then start components. The classic Palo Alto sequence on a Continental prep table: the coil clogs, head pressure rises, the compressor starts hard for weeks, and eventually the relay or capacitor gives up. I fix both the symptom and the cause in one visit, clean the coil and replace the burned component, otherwise the new part dies the same death.
Evaporator icing and frozen drains from worn door gaskets. University Avenue kitchens open reach-in doors hundreds of times a shift. Once the Continental gasket cracks, humid air ices the evaporator, the drain freezes, and water floods the liner. I replace the gasket, clear the ice, and confirm the drain flows before I leave.
Undercounter units in estate kitchens losing temperature quietly. Built-in commercial-style Continental units in Old Palo Alto homes fail gradually, and owners notice only when milk spoils early. Usual causes are dusted condensers and tired evaporator fan motors. I test rather than guess, and these repairs are almost always cheaper than the owner fears.
