Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Oakland
Commercial Refrigeration Repair for Oakland kitchens.
Oakland keeps us busy on the bar side. Jack London, Uptown, and Temescal run serious cocktail and draft programs, which means Perlick back-bar systems, glycol-chilled draft trunks, and Manitowoc Indigo NXT heads feeding the well. The bars around 94607 and 94612 run these systems hard, so the calls cluster around two things: beer pouring warm out of a Perlick draft system, and a back-bar fridge icing up after the rush.
Warm beer almost always traces to the glycol side. I check the glycol concentration with a refractometer, because once it drifts out of spec the trunk line can't hold temperature down the run to the tower. If the insulation on the leg between chiller and tower has soaked condensate, that gets re-insulated too. The icing back-bar fridges are usually a stretched door gasket from bartenders propping the door during service, so the evap ices the second the rush ends. That gasket swap is under 30 minutes and I carry the common Perlick gaskets on the truck.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Perlick back-bar, beer pouring warm. Glycol concentration drifted or trunk insulation soaked. Check percentage with a refractometer, flush and refill if needed, re-insulate the leg between chiller and tower. Most fix in one visit.
- Perlick back-bar fridge icing after rush. Door gasket stretched from being propped open during service. Gasket swap under 30 minutes, common Perlick gaskets carried on the truck.
- Manitowoc Indigo NXT not keeping the well stocked. Scaled evaporator or a harvest cycle that won't release the slab. Descale, adjust the harvest assist, confirm production over a full cycle.
- Atosa R290 prep table or reach-in down. Gasket, condensate drain, or sealed-system on the hydrocarbon platform. R290 certified, so the sealed-system work and parts are not a problem.

FAQ
Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Oakland questions, answered.
-
Can you get to an Oakland bar after hours when a draft system or back-bar fridge fails?
Yes. The after-hours line, (925) 999-4095, exists for Friday-night bar and restaurant calls. We run from San Ramon, 35 to 50 minutes to Jack London and Uptown when we have a slot. A warm well and no ice on a Friday night is a same-night call. -
My Perlick beer is pouring warm but the keg is cold. What is wrong?
That is almost always the glycol side, not the keg. The glycol concentration drifts or the trunk-line insulation soaks condensate and the beer warms on the run to the tower. We test the glycol with a refractometer, correct it, and re-insulate the leg. Usually one visit. -
Do you offer maintenance contracts for high-volume bars?
Yes. Quarterly visits with documented glycol testing, condenser and ice cleaning, condensate clearing, and gasket inspection. For a busy Uptown program that keeps the Perlick draft pouring at setpoint and the Manitowoc producing.
