Pre-Purchase Equipment Inspection · Bay Area

Before the equipment becomes yours

The sale includes the equipment. What will you be taking on? A refrigerator may be holding temperature today while its coils need cleaning or its door seals need attention. An older rooftop unit may still run, but its refrigerant matters when you plan the next repair.

ADRIUM inspects equipment for buyers of restaurants, cafes, ice cream and dessert shops, bakeries, grocery and convenience stores, and bars. We also inspect rooftop HVAC and tenant refrigeration for commercial property buyers. Your broker, lender or attorney can use the report alongside the rest of your due diligence documents.

What we inspect

Send us the equipment list so we can agree on the units to inspect before the visit:

• Commercial refrigeration: walk-ins, reach-ins, prep tables, display cases and dipping cabinets.
• Commercial ice machines.
• Air conditioning, including rooftop package units, and split systems.
• Commercial coffee and espresso equipment.
• Commercial dishwashers.
• Slush and frozen beverage machines and cocktail dispensers.

This is an equipment condition inspection by ADRIUM, a CSLB-licensed contractor (#1136642) that services HVAC and commercial refrigeration. It is not a building, code or appraisal inspection.

A report you can use before closing

Each unit gets its own record: make, model, serial number and refrigerant type from the nameplate, plus the manufacture year from the nameplate or a decodable serial number. Photos show the condition and the findings on that unit.

We separate what needs attention now from what can wait. The report flags refrigerants being phased out, such as R-22, so an older system’s service needs are part of your purchase decision. It also describes temperature monitoring options for the refrigeration you plan to keep running.

You receive a web report with a downloadable PDF. Share it with your broker, lender or attorney, or use it to ask the seller about specific equipment. If you want a repair priced, we provide a separate written quote before repair work starts.

Arrange the inspection

We don’t publish a set price because every site is different. Send us the equipment list and we’ll quote it.

Contact ADRIUM with the equipment list, property location and your due diligence deadline. Tell us who can arrange access to the roof, walk-in and tenant spaces. We confirm the scope and appointment timing with you before the visit.
