How far is Los Gatos from your San Ramon base?

About 45 minutes via 680 and 85. We route Los Gatos with Saratoga and Los Altos Hills on South Bay days. For a bar down on a weekend, call us directly and we will triage by phone and get there as fast as the freeway allows.

Can you fix the beer system, not just the refrigeration?

Yes. Temperature comes first because most foam is a temperature problem, but I also check faucets, line balance, and CO2 pressure so the system pours right when I leave. One tech, one written quote, one visit whenever parts allow.

What if the repair does not hold?

Repairs carry a 1-year warranty. If the same fault returns inside that window, we come back and make it right. That is also why I diagnose with instruments instead of swapping parts on a guess.

Perlick in Los Gatos

Perlick commercial service.

North Santa Cruz Avenue carries one of the denser bar-and-restaurant strips in the South Bay, and behind those bars sits a lot of Perlick: back-bar coolers, direct-draw dispensers, and glass frosters that earn their keep every weekend. Los Gatos also drinks well at home. Hillside properties toward the Santa Cruz Mountains put serious wine storage and draft setups into their kitchens and cellars, most of it commercial-grade. All of it runs through our division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.

A Los Gatos bar that loses refrigeration on a Friday night is losing its best hours of the week, so we answer the phone on Friday nights. For homeowners, the same rule applies before a party. Diagnostic is $75, waived with repair, and every job starts with a written quote.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Direct-draw dispenser foaming on the busiest nights. Weekend keg turnover means warm kegs going in and doors opening constantly. If the unit cannot pull a fresh keg down fast, the problem is usually a dirty condenser or weak evaporator fan, and every pint pours foam until it is fixed. I restore capacity and verify pull-down time.
Back-bar cooler compressor clicking and not starting. The click-and-buzz cycle is a failed start relay or capacitor nine times out of ten. Caught early, it is a quick fix. Ignored, the compressor windings cook. I test the windings first so you know whether you are buying a $200 fix or a bigger decision.
Home wine column holding the wrong temperature. Hillside homes here store real collections, and a zone that drifts from 55 to 62 puts money at risk. I check the thermistor, damper, and control calibration before anything else, because most drift problems are sensor problems, not sealed-system failures.
