How quickly can you reach Castro Valley from San Ramon?

About 20 minutes over Crow Canyon Road. We also route Castro Valley with Hayward, San Leandro, and Dublin stops, so same-day service is realistic for most calls, especially if you phone in the morning.

Do you handle both the refrigeration and the beer side of a Perlick system?

Yes. Most foam problems are refrigeration problems, so I fix temperature first. Then I verify faucets, lines, and CO2 pressure so the whole draft system pours right. One visit, one written quote.

What if the compressor is dead on an older unit?

I tell you straight and put both options on paper: sealed-system repair with a 1-year warranty, or a new unit installed with 10 years parts and 10 years labor. The $75 diagnostic is waived either way if you proceed with us.

Perlick in Castro Valley

Perlick commercial service.

Castro Valley runs on the Boulevard. The restaurants, sports bars, and taprooms strung along Castro Valley Boulevard mostly cool their bottles and kegs with Perlick back-bar equipment, and those units work hard in small back-of-house spaces with poor airflow. Up in the hills, the ranch properties and remodeled homes add Signature Series undercounter units and garage kegerators to the mix. All of it is commercial-grade gear, and we service it through our division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.

Castro Valley sits about 20 minutes from our San Ramon base over Crow Canyon Road, which makes it easy for us to handle urgent calls. A bar that opens at 11 with a warm cooler can usually see me before the lunch crowd. Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair, with the quote in writing first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Back-bar cooler short-cycling in a tight bar alcove. Boulevard bars often box the BBS unit into an alcove with no breathing room. The condenser recirculates its own hot air, pressures climb, and the compressor cuts out on overload. I clean the coil, fix the airflow path where possible, and check whether the compressor survived.
Bottle cooler lid gaskets leaking cold air. Perlick BC series bottle coolers lose efficiency when the sliding lid gaskets flatten. You see sweating lids, ice on the coil, and a compressor that never rests. New gaskets and a coil defrost bring run times back to normal and cut the power bill.
Home kegerator in the hills pouring pure foam. Garage installs up in the Castro Valley hills bake in summer. The condensing unit falls behind, keg temp climbs, and CO2 breaks out of the beer at the faucet. I service the refrigeration, then check regulator pressure and line length so the pour holds after I leave.
