Commercial Refrigeration · Bay Area

What we do

Working back-of-house refrigeration. Bar fridges and back-bar systems, glycol-chilled beer trunks, reach-ins, prep tables, undercounter beverage centers, refrigerated display cases. We service Perlick, Atosa, Hoshizaki, and the common foodservice platforms a bar or kitchen actually runs.

Most commercial-refrigeration calls have a clear pattern: a gasket has stretched, a coil is filthy, a condensate line is clogged, or the glycol concentration has drifted. We carry common gaskets, condenser-fan motors, evap-fan motors, and an inline condensate-clearing tool. Sealed-system work runs in-house with full recovery, evacuation, and weigh-in. We are licensed and trained for R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which most current Atosa units use. That is why your last service guy “couldn’t get parts.”

After-hours line for bar and restaurant work: (925) 999-4095. Bar emergencies do not wait for Monday.

Common issues. Typical repair.

Perlick back-bar, beer pouring warm. Glycol trunk-line insulation has soaked condensate or the glycol concentration has drifted out of spec. We check the glycol percentage with a refractometer, flush and refill if needed, and re-insulate the leg between chiller and tower. Most cases fix in one visit.

Perlick back-bar fridge icing after rush. Door gasket has stretched from bartenders propping the door open during service. The evap ices the moment the rush ends. Gasket swap is under 30 minutes. We carry the common Perlick gaskets on the truck.

Atosa prep table, water on the floor. Condensate drain clogged with grease and food debris. We pull the line, blow it clear, install an inline screen if the kitchen layout allows it. We log the clean interval and tell you when to expect the next one.

Atosa MBF reach-in icing inside. Door gasket stretched, warm air entering, evap icing up. Same gasket swap pattern as the Perlick. We verify door closure across the full sweep before closing the panel.

Hoshizaki sushi case warm. The discharge-airflow thermistor drifts on the older platforms and the unit holds six to eight degrees warmer than setpoint. We carry the calibrated thermistor on the truck and verify the hold over a service-cycle.

Walk-in evaporator icing. Defrost-cycle timer drift or a failed defrost termination thermostat. We adjust the cycle, verify the hot-gas defrost or electric-defrost works through a full cycle, and document the changes inside the panel.

Preventive-maintenance contracts

Quarterly visits with documented coil cleaning, glycol testing, condensate-line clearing, and gasket inspection. The standard plan for high-volume bars and kitchens. Adds about two years to the service life of most Atosa units and keeps Perlick draft systems pouring at setpoint year-round.
