How far is Union City from your base in San Ramon?

About 25 minutes down 680 and across on Mission or 84. Union City routes with Fremont, Newark, and Hayward for us, so same-day service is usually available. We answer 7 days a week, which matters when your Saturday catering load is sitting in a warming reach-in.

Do you work on equipment in shared commissary kitchens?

Yes. We just need to know who authorizes the repair, since commissary units are sometimes owned by the facility and sometimes by the operator. The written quote names the unit by model and serial so there is no confusion about whose equipment got fixed.

The unit stopped after we moved it for cleaning. Did we break it?

Probably not permanently. Moving and restarting a unit too quickly usually takes out the start relay, not the compressor. I test the relay and capacitor and measure the compressor's amp draw. In most of these cases the fix is a component swap and a habit change, not a new box.

Continental Refrigerator in Union City

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Union City's kitchens cluster along Alvarado-Niles Road and Dyer Street, with a strong Filipino and Mexican restaurant presence and a busy layer of catering and commissary operations in the industrial blocks near Union Landing. Continental reach-ins and prep tables in these kitchens carry real volume, and turo-turo steam-table service puts extra load on the cold side that backs it up.

We service Union City through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, the commercial refrigeration division of ADRIUM Service Solutions in San Ramon. EPA Section 608 Universal certification, CSLB #1136642, written quotes before work, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, one year warranty on repairs.

Commissary equipment here shares a trait with catering gear everywhere: it gets moved, restarted against pressure, and run on whatever outlet is closest. That kills start components early, so I check them first on nearly every Union City call.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Start relay burnout from short-cycling and quick restarts. Restarting a Continental compressor within a minute of shutdown forces it to start against full head pressure, and commissary crews do this daily while cleaning and rearranging. The relay burns, the unit hums and trips. I replace the failed components, verify amp draw, and show the crew the three minute rule that prevents the repeat.
Grease-clogged condensers behind high-output cooking lines. Lechon and fry-heavy kitchens along Alvarado-Niles put dense grease into the air, and Continental condensers a few feet from the line clog within months. High head pressure follows, then warm cabinets at peak hours. I clean the coil chemically and document the pressures so you can see the recovery in numbers.
Frozen drain lines flooding loaded cabinets. A Continental reach-in packed for weekend catering pushes maximum moisture through its evaporator, and if the drain freezes, melt water floods shelves full of prepped trays. I clear the ice, correct the frost source, and check the gasket seal, because in catering the product loss costs more than the repair.
