Perlick commercial refrigeration repair in Oakland
Our Oakland Perlick records all come from one bar customer, so they show one account, not a trend. We repair Perlick independently and are not a factory-authorized Perlick servicer. The case below shows how we handle a bar with a whole row of units, Perlick back-bar refrigeration among them.
Mapping a bar before fixing it
An Oakland cocktail bar called with a lot of refrigeration that had gone a long time without a proper service. Units were creeping warm, a kegerator kept tripping its breaker, and the undercounter glass chiller cycled every few minutes and never got down to temperature.
We started with an inventory: Perlick back-bar refrigeration, Hoshizaki ice production, the kegerator stack, the glass chiller and a prep reach-in. We checked head pressure on each one, looked at every condenser, verified the refrigerant and read the amps at startup and again once it settled.
Every condenser was deep-cleaned; two were dirty enough to draw three times their rated amps at startup. Across the bar we replaced two evaporator fan motors, a condenser fan and two chattering contactor coils, fixed a slow refrigerant leak at a worn flare on the kegerator, replaced an ice machine water valve, and calibrated the thermostats on the back-bar units and the prep reach-in. The bar stayed open the whole time, and afterward it was put on a quarterly maintenance cycle.
The account does not say which of those parts went into the Perlick units.
Three Perlick jobs, one customer
Between November 2024 and October 2026 we closed three Perlick jobs in Oakland, all in 2025 and all for that one bar customer. That is one account coming back to us, not three Oakland businesses with Perlick trouble.
These are the Oakland jobs with Perlick in the brand field. Repeat work for one customer can't tell you how often Perlick equipment fails or which part goes first.
Booking Perlick service for a bar or restaurant
Tell us how many units you have and which ones are acting up: drifting warm, short-cycling or tripping a breaker. Let us know when the bar is quiet enough for a technician to work behind it.
A diagnostic visit is $99, and every unit we check on that visit is covered by it. Approving a repair means the $99 is subtracted from its price.
