We only use our commercial refrigerator for parties. Is a maintenance visit worth it?

For a unit that runs a few times a year, one visit before your busiest season is usually enough. We clean the condenser, check the gaskets and the drain, and run the unit down to temperature, so a problem shows up before the caterer does.

Can you service a draft system and keg cooler in a private home in Alamo?

Yes. A home draft system uses the same refrigeration parts as a bar's, so the diagnosis is the same: box temperature, evaporator airflow, tower cooling and, on a long-draw system, the glycol mix. The written quote comes before any repair.

Our commercial unit got much louder this year. What does that usually mean?

A new rattle or a grinding hum usually means a worn fan motor bearing, a loose mounting bolt or a fan blade touching its shroud. We find the source and replace the part, which costs far less than waiting for the motor to seize and the compressor to overheat.

Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Alamo

Commercial Refrigeration Repair for Alamo kitchens.

Alamo is mostly estate homes in 94507, so commercial refrigeration here usually means foodservice equipment inside a private property. A draft system behind a home bar, a stainless reach-in in a catering kitchen built for parties, a worktop cooler on a covered patio: these are the same platforms a restaurant runs, and they fail the same ways. They also sit idle for weeks and then run hard for one event, which wears them differently.

Idle time is hard on the parts nobody looks at. Condensate drains dry out and clog, door gaskets take a set, and a compressor that starts once after a quiet month finds out whether its start relay still works. We check all of that on the first visit in Round Hill, Stone Valley or anywhere else in town. The diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, and you approve a written quote before we pick up a tool. Sealed-system work falls under ADRIUM's EPA 608 Universal certification.

Common repairs we handle.

Home draft system pouring nothing but foam. On a direct-draw keg cooler, foam usually starts with a box running warm or a tower that is warmer than the keg. We check the box against its thermostat, clear the evaporator airflow and look at how the tower is cooled before anyone touches the gas pressure.
Catering reach-in that will not start after sitting unused. A compressor that hums and clicks off is often a failed start relay or overload, not a dead compressor. We test the start components and the compressor windings, then quote the part that actually failed.
Patio worktop cooler losing temperature on hot afternoons. Commercial worktops and undercounters are designed for indoor kitchens, and a covered patio in summer pushes them hard. We clean the condenser and check the fan, then talk through shade and airflow around the unit, since a cooler, ventilated spot helps more than any part.
Water under a unit after a quiet stretch. Condensate lines dry out and collect dust while a unit sits, and the pan overflows when it runs hard again for a party. We clear and flush the line and check the pan heater on units that have one.
