We're a caterer working events in Emerald Hills. Do you service equipment that isn't downtown?

Yes. Our technician based in San Mateo County covers all of Redwood City, downtown and the hills both. Same-day isn't something we promise, but for an event with a firm date, tell us when you need the unit tested and we'll schedule ahead of it instead of waiting for it to fail.

Our downtown restaurant needs service around the theatre dinner rush. Can you work around that?

Yes. We schedule around the pre-show rush the same way we schedule around any dinner service, in the morning or in the afternoon gap before doors open. Seven days a week, so a Tuesday or a Sunday works the same.

Do you give us a price before starting work?

Always. The $99 diagnostic gets you a written quote for the repair. If you approve it, that $99 comes off the total. If you don't, you still walk away knowing exactly what's wrong.

Continental Refrigerator in Redwood City

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Redwood City is the county seat, and its downtown runs on two different clocks. Lunch is the courthouse and office crowd filling the restaurants around the theatre district, and dinner is the crowd headed to a show at the Fox or one of the stages nearby. Both cycles put real hours on the Continental prep tables and reach-ins in those kitchens, and we cover them through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, ADRIUM Service Solutions' commercial division.

Redwood City spreads out beyond downtown too. Caterers who work private events up in Emerald Hills and the estate neighborhoods run Continental undercounter units and portable coolers that see less daily abuse but sit unused for stretches, and a compressor that's been idle for weeks doesn't always start clean on the first call. Downtown or up in the hills, I run the same check, amp draw and superheat before naming a part.

A $99 diagnostic gets you a straight answer, and it comes off the invoice if you approve the repair we quote. Quotes are written, refrigerant work is done under EPA Section 608 Universal certification, and we schedule seven days. A technician based in San Mateo County handles the Peninsula, so Redwood City gets covered without waiting on a truck from across the Bay.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Compressor start failures after evening theatre crowds close the kitchen late. A downtown kitchen serving the theatre crowd runs later than most, and the Continental reach-in's compressor cycles more in one night than a typical lunch-only spot sees in two days. When the start relay or run capacitor wears out, it usually shows up as a hard start or a hum with no start at all. I test amp draw at start-up and replace the failed component, not the whole compressor, when the windings still test healthy.
Idle-period restart trouble on catering equipment serving Emerald Hills events. Continental undercounter units and portable coolers used for estate catering in Emerald Hills sit unused between events, and a compressor that hasn't run in weeks can trip on its own start components or a stuck contactor the first time it's asked to work again. I test the unit under real load before an event, not after, so a caterer isn't finding this out with guests already arriving.
Condenser coil grease loading in tight downtown kitchen footprints. Downtown Redwood City kitchens are older buildings with small back-of-house space, and the Continental cooler often sits within a few feet of the grill or fryer. Grease film builds on the coil, head pressure climbs, and the cabinet drifts warm right during the pre-show dinner rush. I degrease the coil, verify fan motor amp draw, and confirm superheat before I sign off.
