We just bought a used reach-in. Can you check it before we fill it?

Yes, and it is worth doing. We clean the condenser, check the gaskets and hinges, look for oil at the joints that would point to a leak, and run it to temperature. You get written notes on what it needs, if anything.

Our reach-in label says R290. Is that refrigerant hard to service?

Not for us. R290 is refrigerant-grade propane, flammable and used in small charges, so it needs different tools and a stricter procedure than older refrigerants. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification, and we handle R290 leak repair and recharging in-house.

Will you tell us when a box is not worth fixing?

Yes. When a compressor or sealed-system repair on an old box comes close to the price of a new unit, we say so and put both options in writing. Nothing gets replaced until you approve the quote. CSLB #1136642.

Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Union City

Commercial Refrigeration Repair for Union City kitchens.

Union City is one ZIP, 94587, with mid-century neighborhoods in Alvarado and Decoto, the 1980s tracts around Union Landing, and newer homes up in Mission Hills above 880. The commercial refrigeration here is in markets, restaurant kitchens, school cafeterias and office break rooms: reach-ins, freezers, prep tables, display merchandisers and walk-ins.

Older and secondhand boxes deserve a straight answer on repair versus replace, and so do the newest ones. Most current Atosa models run R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, which not every repair shop handles. We work on both ends of that range, quote in writing before any work starts, and credit the $99 diagnostic toward the repair.

Common repairs we handle.

Atosa R290 reach-in losing its cooling. Most current Atosa units run R290, a flammable hydrocarbon used in small charges, so even a small leak warms the box. We find the leak, repair it with the charge removed and the system purged, then pull a vacuum and weigh in the new charge to the nameplate.
Secondhand reach-in that never quite gets cold. Used units arrive with dirty coils, tired gaskets, and sometimes a low charge from a leak nobody found. We clean and test before you load product: amp draw, pressures where the unit has service ports, box temperature over a full cycle, and door seals.
Reach-in tripping on a shared or long circuit. A compressor needs full voltage to start. On an extension cord or a circuit shared with other equipment, voltage sags at startup, the compressor struggles and the overload trips. We measure voltage under load and tell you if the fix is electrical before replacing anything.
Top shelves warm in a glass-door merchandiser. Cold air leaves the evaporator at the top or back of the case and needs a clear path. Product packed against the fan shroud or the back wall blocks it, and a failing fan does the same. We check the fan, clear the airflow path, and mark where stocking should stop.
