How do you route to Hillsborough from San Ramon?

Across the San Mateo Bridge on 92, about 50 minutes door to door. We pair Hillsborough with Atherton, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills on Peninsula days, so a scheduled window is dependable. For an event-week emergency, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it same day.

The ice tastes off after the machine sat all spring. Is it safe?

Off-taste means the water circuit needs a proper clean and sanitize before I would serve that ice to guests. It is rarely a mechanical failure at that stage, but the same standing water that causes taste problems is also loading the plate with scale, so one visit addresses both.

Do you give a real quote before working, or time and materials?

A written quote, always, after the $75 diagnostic, and that fee is waived when you approve the repair. No surprise line items. Repairs carry a 1-year warranty.

Hoshizaki in Hillsborough

Hoshizaki commercial service.

Hillsborough has no commercial strip, so every Hoshizaki I touch here lives in a home: undercounter cubers in butler pantries, full-size KM machines in catering-grade kitchens, and ice makers serving bar setups in pool houses. These are commercial machines in residential duty, which means long idle stretches punctuated by a weekend where they absolutely must perform.

Peninsula water off the Hetch Hetchy system is softer than the East Bay's, but soft is relative and idle time is the real enemy. Standing reservoir water still deposits scale on the evaporator plate, and biofilm grows wherever water sits warm and quiet. If your machine's output has slipped 20 percent from its rating, scale is my first check, then the water circuit for slime.

We come from San Ramon, ADRIUM Service Solutions, owner Andrew Kuznetsov, EPA Section 608 Universal, CSLB #1136642. Written quotes before any work, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, 1-year repair warranty, and we schedule 7 days around your household calendar.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Biofilm and scale from long idle periods. A machine that sits between events grows film in the reservoir and drops mineral onto the plate. First ice after a quiet month tastes stale and comes out cloudy. We do a full teardown clean, descale, and sanitize, and I will show you how to shut the unit down properly if it will sit more than a few weeks.
Bin control thermostat misreading in built-in installs. Cabinet-built installs in Hillsborough kitchens sometimes pin the bin control where warm air pools, so the machine stops early with a half-full bin or overruns and bridges the ice. We test the control, correct the placement, and verify shutoff against actual bin level.
Evaporator plate scale despite softer Peninsula water. Softer water slows scale, it does not stop it, and years of it insulates the KM plate until freeze cycles run long. The fix is the same disciplined descale we do commercially, plus a realistic annual interval for a home machine rather than the commercial schedule printed in the manual.
