Hoshizaki in Half Moon Bay

Hoshizaki refrigeration in Half Moon Bay.

Main Street and the restaurants down at Pillar Point Harbor run their Hoshizaki ice machines hard on a foggy tourist weekend, and salt air off the ocean is a real factor here that inland Peninsula towns don't deal with. We also cover the rest of the Coastside, Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada, since a kitchen up Highway 1 needs the same response as one on Main Street.

We service Hoshizaki as an independent shop and carry the common parts on the truck, salt-air corrosion included, so most calls involve parts we usually stock. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote first.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Salt air eating condenser coils. An air-cooled Hoshizaki condenser sitting anywhere near the harbor or the coastline corrodes faster than the same unit inland, and I've pulled coils here with fin damage a Danville machine wouldn't show for years. I clean and treat the coil and check the control board contacts for corrosion while I'm in there, since salt air gets at those too.
  • Harbor restaurant reach-ins fighting the marine layer. The reach-ins at the harbor restaurants deal with humid marine air rolling in every door opening, and that extra moisture loads up the evaporator with ice faster than a dry inland kitchen. A defrost cycle that's set too short can't keep up, and the coil ices solid. I adjust the defrost schedule to match the humidity instead of just running the factory default.
  • Ice machines maxed out on a tourist weekend. A Main Street restaurant's Hoshizaki cube head runs flat out on a busy coastal weekend, and a harvest valve that's marginal will finally hang when the machine never gets a break to rest. I check coil resistance on the harvest valve against spec and fit OEM, since an aftermarket coil fails early under that kind of continuous cycling.

FAQ

Hoshizaki in Half Moon Bay questions, answered.

  • Do you cover Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada too?
    Yes, we treat the whole Coastside as one area, Half Moon Bay, Montara, Moss Beach, and El Granada. A kitchen up Highway 1 gets the same response as one on Main Street.
  • Does the salt air really affect my ice machine?
    Yes. Coastal salt air corrodes condenser coils and control contacts faster than inland air does, and I check for that on every coastal call, not just when a customer mentions it.
  • Are you an authorized Hoshizaki dealer?
    No, we're independent, not a Hoshizaki dealer. Manitowoc is the brand with our factory training, and we hold EPA 608 (#1279674151528) and CSLB #1136642, same coverage we run inland.
