Perlick in El Cerrito

Perlick refrigeration in El Cerrito.

El Cerrito doesn't have the bar density of some of its neighbors, but the restaurants and the handful of bars along San Pablo Avenue, plus a couple of the sit-down spots at El Cerrito Plaza, run Perlick back-bar coolers and draft systems behind the counter. When a box quits or the tap starts pouring warm, the owner wants the actual cause found, not a parts-changer guessing on the clock.

We work Perlick equipment as an independent shop and don't carry any factory or dealer authorization. The common El Cerrito calls are predictable: a forced-air evaporator iced over behind a worn door gasket, a thermostat off setpoint, warm beer at the tap while the glycol chiller runs fine on its own. We carry OEM gaskets and common parts on the truck, so a lot of these involve parts we usually stock.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Warm draft beer at the tap. On the San Pablo Avenue restaurants and the El Cerrito Plaza spots, warm beer usually traces back to the glycol chiller or the trunk line, not the tap itself. We test glycol concentration, flush and recharge if it's drifted, and re-wrap the run between chiller and tower.
  • Back-bar coolers frosting over. Perlick back-bar boxes ice the evaporator once a door gasket tears, and a door that swings all shift tears one fast. We stock OEM gaskets in common widths and swap one in well under half an hour, right there on San Pablo Avenue.
  • Glass washers and sealed systems. El Cerrito's water runs on the soft side like the rest of the corridor, but restaurant volume still scales the glass-washer rinse heaters over time. We descale the booster element and rebuild the rinse-aid pump, and we handle sealed-system leak work in-house under EPA #1279674151528.

FAQ

Perlick in El Cerrito questions, answered.

  • Are you a Perlick dealer?
    No. We're an independent outfit here, not a factory-authorized Perlick dealer. We hold EPA #1279674151528 for sealed-system work and are R290 trained. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote first.
  • Why is my Perlick back-bar cooler icing up?
    Usually a torn door gasket. The forced-air evaporator frosts the moment the seal stretches, common on a door pulled hundreds of times a shift at a busy San Pablo Avenue spot. We usually stock the common repair parts, and we confirm timing after the on-site diagnosis.
  • How long does it take you to reach El Cerrito?
    Usually 40 to 45 minutes from San Ramon, either I-580 to San Pablo Dam Road or Highway 24 through the tunnel to I-80. El Cerrito runs with our Berkeley and Richmond stops, and booked windows get a written arrival time.
