Continental Refrigerator Commercial Refrigeration Repair · Portola Valley, CA

Portola Valley has almost no commercial inventory beyond its small town center, so nearly every Continental unit I service here lives on a private property. Custom homes on wooded acreage off Alpine Road and Portola Road run estate-grade reach-ins in the main kitchen, the mid-century modern homes near Ladera often have a second unit built into a casita or pool cabana, and the ranch properties toward Skyline sometimes keep one in a detached rec room or barn.

This is a wildfire-aware community, and the public safety power shutoffs that come with fire season are the thing I get asked about most. A compressor that goes through a hard shutoff and restart cycle a few times in a season is harder on its start components than steady running, and a unit that hums but will not start after an outage is more often a tired start relay than a dead compressor.

The diagnostic runs $99 and comes off the bill if you move forward with the repair. We put quotes in writing for whoever manages the property, back every repair for one year, and work seven days a week to fit around a family's schedule or an event on short notice.
