Are you an authorized Kelvinator dealer?

No. We service Kelvinator as an independent shop, licensed under CSLB #1136642, and the diagnosis isn't aimed at selling new equipment.

How fast can you get to East Palo Alto?

We staff a technician on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so the response is local, not a drive from the East Bay. I can't promise same-day, but a dead cooler during business hours gets priority. Call (925) 999-4095.

My cooler is old. Is it even worth fixing?

Sometimes, sometimes not. A lot of the reach-ins and bottle coolers I see here are past ten years old, and if the compressor's still good, a fan motor or gasket repair buys real time for real money saved. If the compressor is the failure, I'll give you the honest number against a used or new replacement instead of pushing a repair that won't pencil out.

Kelvinator in East Palo Alto

Kelvinator refrigeration in East Palo Alto.

East Palo Alto runs on small, family-owned businesses rather than a restaurant row, mercados and taquerias serving a dense, working community that doesn't have much slack in the budget when a cooler goes down. A lot of those kitchens run an older Kelvinator reach-in or bottle cooler that's been earning its keep for years, and when one drifts warm, it's real product spoiling in the case.

We service Kelvinator as an independent shop, no dealer relationship, no push toward new equipment when a repair will do. We're trained on the R290 hydrocarbon charge running in the newer units, and we hold EPA #1279674151528 for the sealed-system work.

We staff a technician on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so East Palo Alto gets the same response time as the cities next door. The diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, with a written quote before we start.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Market and taqueria reach-ins. Corner markets and taquerias run a Kelvinator reach-in or under-counter cooler that opens constantly through lunch and dinner. The gasket goes first, and once the door stops sealing, the compressor runs nonstop trying to hold temperature. We rebuild the seal and check the compressor cycle before calling the job done.
Bottle coolers and beverage merchandisers. A lot of the beverage coolers in these markets are older Kelvinator units still running years past when a bigger operation would have swapped them out. Most failures trace to a bad start relay or a seized condenser fan, not a dead compressor, so we check the cheap parts first before telling anyone the compressor's gone.
Sealed-system repair, in-house. For a leak or a compressor that's actually failed, we recover the charge, pull vacuum, and weigh in the correct fill ourselves under EPA #1279674151528, instead of just topping it off.
