Perlick in Alameda
Perlick commercial service.
Alameda packs a lot of taps onto one island. The bar rooms along Park Street, the Webster Street strip, and the taprooms out at Alameda Point all run on back-bar refrigeration, and most of it is Perlick. A BBS84 that creeps from 36 to 44 degrees on a Friday night means warm bottles, foamy pours, and a till that stops ringing. We answer the phone on Friday nights, and commercial calls like these run through our division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.
I like working in Alameda because the failures are predictable. Salt air corrodes condenser fins faster than inland, and older Victorian-era commercial buildings feed these units dirty power that kills start relays. Diagnostic is $99 and we credit it toward the repair, with a written quote before any work starts.

Common repairs we handle.
- BBS series back-bar cooler losing temp during service. The usual cause in Alameda bars is a condenser coil packed with bar dust and lint. The compressor runs hot, thermal overload trips, and the cabinet climbs ten degrees mid-rush. I clean the coil, check amp draw, and replace the overload or start relay if the compressor took damage.
- Foamy beer from a Perlick direct-draw dispenser. When a DS or DD series kegerator pours foam, the first suspect is product temperature, not the 630SS faucet. An iced evaporator or a weak fan motor lets the keg warm past 38 degrees and every pour turns to head. I fix the refrigeration side first, then verify the faucet and line balance.
- FR24 glass froster not frosting glassware. Frosters run a very cold coil, so any refrigerant loss shows up fast. If glasses come out wet instead of frosted, I leak-check the system, repair, and recharge. I hold EPA Section 608 Universal certification, so recovery and charging are done by the book.

FAQ
Perlick in Alameda questions, answered.
-
How fast can you get to Alameda from San Ramon?
We come over on 580 through Oakland and take the Posey Tube, about 35 to 40 minutes outside commute hours. We often pair Alameda with stops in Oakland or San Leandro on the same run, so booking morning slots usually gets you same-day or next-day service. -
Do you really take Friday night calls from bars?
Yes. A dead back-bar cooler on a Friday costs a bar more than the repair does. Call and we will triage it over the phone. After 7 PM we call back as soon as we can, or first thing the next morning, and a dead back-bar cooler gets a same or next-day visit. Commercial work runs through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our commercial division. -
What warranty do I get on a Perlick repair?
Repairs carry a 1-year warranty. If we install a new unit, you get at least one year on equipment and labor. Every job starts with a written quote, and the $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair.
