Perlick in Berkeley
Perlick refrigeration in Berkeley.
Berkeley runs one of the densest independent bar and cafe scenes in the East Bay, and a lot of the back-bar refrigeration is Perlick. The late-night spots on Telegraph near campus, the bars around Shattuck and the Gourmet Ghetto, the taprooms and small producers out in West Berkeley. When a Perlick box quits or the draft pours warm, these owners want someone who'll diagnose the unit, not a parts-changer guessing on the clock.
We service Perlick as an independent shop, no dealer or factory-authorization games. The common Berkeley calls are the predictable ones: a forced-air evaporator iced over behind a worn door gasket, a thermostat off setpoint, warm beer at the tap while the glycol chiller hums along fine. We carry OEM gaskets and common parts on the truck so a lot of these are one-visit fixes.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Warm draft beer at the tap. On the West Berkeley taprooms and Telegraph bars, warm beer usually traces to the glycol chiller or trunk line, not the tap. We test glycol concentration, flush and recharge if it's drifted, and re-wrap the run between chiller and tower. Long basement-to-bar pulls give the most trouble.
- Back-bar coolers frosting over. The Tobin Ellis and C-Series boxes ice the evap once a door gasket tears, and a bar door that never stops swinging tears them fast. We stock OEM gaskets in 24 and 36 inch and swap one in well under half an hour.
- Glass washers and sealed systems. Berkeley's water is on the softer side, but cafe and bar volume still scales the HC and DBC glass-washer rinse heaters. We descale the booster element and rebuild the rinse-aid pump, and we do sealed-system leak work in-house under EPA #1279674151528.

FAQ
Perlick in Berkeley questions, answered.
-
Can you fix a Perlick draft system in Berkeley?
Yes. Draft problems on Perlick usually trace to the glycol chiller or trunk-line insulation rather than the tower. We test the glycol mix, recharge it, and re-wrap the run, and we cover the bars from Telegraph to West Berkeley out of San Ramon. -
Why is my Perlick back-bar cooler icing up?
Almost always a torn door gasket. The forced-air evaporator frosts the moment the seal stretches, common on a bar door pulled hundreds of times a shift. We carry OEM gaskets and clear the ice on the same visit. -
Are you a Perlick dealer?
No, we service Perlick as an independent shop with no factory-authorization claim. We hold EPA #1279674151528 for sealed-system work and are R290 trained. Diagnostic is $75, waived with the repair, written quote first.
