It is Friday night and our Millbrae bar cooler just died. Can you actually get here from San Ramon?

Yes. Evening runs from San Ramon to Millbrae take about 45 minutes over the San Mateo Bridge, often less at night. We cover Millbrae and Hillsborough as one Peninsula route, and bar-down calls jump the queue because product loss is on the clock. Call, do not email.

Who shows up, ADRIUM or Bay Area Refrigeration Service?

Same company, same tech. Commercial refrigeration runs under our Bay Area Refrigeration Service division. You get an EPA 608 Universal certified technician, a written quote, and one point of responsibility either way.

Can you keep our product cold while parts are on order?

Usually yes. If a compressor or control has to be ordered, we stabilize what we can, tell you honestly whether the unit will hold temperature, and help you plan cold storage for the gap. The written quote includes the realistic parts timeline so you are not guessing over a weekend.

Perlick in Millbrae

Perlick commercial service.

The bars and restaurant lounges along Broadway and El Camino in Millbrae, plus the hotel bars working the SFO crowd, run Perlick under the counter almost by default. Back-bar coolers, bottle wells, and direct-draw beer boxes. When a Perlick goes down on a Friday night, the bar bleeds money by the hour, and we answer the phone on Friday nights.

Commercial refrigeration work runs through our division Bay Area Refrigeration Service, with EPA Section 608 Universal certification, so the sealed-system side is handled legally and correctly, not just topped off. Bar equipment in Millbrae fights a specific enemy: the condenser sits low, pulls in floor-level dust and sticky overspray, and slowly suffocates.

Diagnostic is $75, waived with repair. Written quotes, 1-year repair warranty, 7 days a week including the nights that matter.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Warm cabinet from a choked condenser. The most common Perlick call in a Millbrae bar is a back-bar cooler creeping into the 40s. Nine times out of ten the condenser coil is packed with bar dust and the compressor is running hot and long. We clean the coil, check the fan, and verify the compressor amps came back down, because a coil left dirty kills the compressor next.
Beer system pouring foam. On direct-draw units, foamy pours usually mean the cabinet or tower temperature drifted, not that the keg is bad. We check evaporator performance, tower insulation, and the thermostat setpoint, then verify glycol or forced-air cooling to the faucet so the beer pours at temperature.
Door gaskets, hinges, and sliding tracks. Perlick doors get slammed a thousand times a night. Torn gaskets and sagging sliders let warm humid air in, the evaporator ices, and the unit short-cycles. We replace gaskets with correct Perlick profiles and rework the door hardware so the cabinet seals like it should.
