Crathco in Los Altos Hills
Crathco refrigeration in Los Altos Hills.
Los Altos Hills does not have a commercial district at all, no downtown strip, no shopping center, so almost every Crathco account here traces back to one of two things. The first is Foothill College, whose student union and cafeteria run a cold drink dispenser through a real daily crowd during the school year, the closest thing the town has to a restaurant-volume account.
The second is private events on the town's large estate lots, where a dispenser gets rented or brought in for a wedding, graduation, or family gathering and has to work on that one date with nothing to fall back on. We plan these visits around the event calendar rather than our own, and we check the cold plate and the seal set ahead of time rather than waiting for a complaint mid-party.
Andrew Kuznetsov runs Bay Area Refrigeration Service as an independent shop, licensed under CSLB #1136642 and EPA 608 certified, with no factory tie to Crathco. A technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County covers Los Altos Hills along with Los Altos, Portola Valley, and Palo Alto on the same stretch, which matters in a town built on private roads and gated lots rather than street addresses you can find by driving past. The diagnostic runs $99, credited toward the repair, and the quote is written before any part goes on.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Auger motor and drive wear at Foothill College's daily volume. The student union dispenser runs a real daily crowd during the school year, closer to restaurant hours than anything else in town, and that steady cycling wears the auger motor and the magnetic coupling the way a busy cafe account would. We test the drive under a full, cold bowl and replace worn parts before a slipping coupling turns into a no-turn call during the lunch rush.
- Cold plate and seal check ahead of a private event. A dispenser held for one wedding or party date needs its temperature control and seal set verified before the event, not discovered broken during it. We check the R290 charge, the thermostat behavior, and the bowl gasket and shaft seal condition on a schedule tied to the event date rather than waiting for a call after something has already gone wrong.
- Bowl gasket and O-ring failure after storage. A unit that sits between events can develop a stiff or cracked gasket from sitting dry, and the failure often only shows up once product is poured through it again for the next party. We replace the full gasket and O-ring set as a group on units coming out of storage rather than trusting a visual check alone.

FAQ
Crathco in Los Altos Hills questions, answered.
-
Is there really enough business to justify covering a town with no commercial district?
Foothill College alone runs close to restaurant hours during the school year, and the private event work on the estate lots fills in the rest. It is a smaller account base than a city with a downtown, but it is a real one, and we cover it the same way. -
Our property is on a private road with a gate code. Is that a problem for scheduling?
Not for us. A technician who already works this part of the Peninsula is used to gated estate lots and private roads in Los Altos Hills, so send the code ahead and we plan the visit the same as any other stop. -
Do you send someone from San Ramon for a Los Altos Hills call?
No. A technician based in San Mateo County handles this stretch of the Peninsula directly, so Los Altos Hills gets a local response instead of waiting on a drive across the bay.
