Perlick in San Bruno

Perlick refrigeration in San Bruno.

San Bruno grew up fast after the war, and a lot of the commercial buildings along San Bruno Avenue and near the old Tanforan site date to that same era as the homes around them. The wiring in some of these buildings has not been touched since, and a Perlick back-bar cooler or undercounter unit plugged into a tired circuit sees voltage swings that a newer building would not. Being close to SFO also means some of these restaurants and bars run long hours to catch shift workers and travelers, which puts more cycles on the equipment than a typical daytime restaurant sees.

We service Perlick as an independent shop with no dealer claim. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, and we hand you a written quote before ordering parts or opening the sealed system. EPA #1279674151528 covers our recovery, leak repair, and charging work.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • Compressors tripping on weak building voltage. A Perlick compressor pulling starting current on a circuit with voltage sag from an old building panel will trip the overload or hesitate to start. We check the actual voltage at the unit under load before we condemn a compressor, since a lot of these calls turn out to be an electrical problem, not a refrigeration one.
  • Back-bar coolers wearing out from long hours. A bar near SFO that stays open late for shift workers cycles its Perlick back-bar cooler far more than a nine-to-five kitchen would. Door gaskets tear sooner, and hinge cartridges wear out faster than the manual assumes. We carry OEM gaskets and cartridges on the truck so most of these involve parts we usually stock.
  • Ice buildup from a failing defrost termination. On the Signature Series undercounters we see around San Bruno, a defrost termination switch that has failed leaves the coil frosting instead of clearing on schedule. The unit reads cold at the controller while the fan stalls under the ice. We test the defrost heater and termination switch and clear the drain so it does not refreeze.

FAQ

Perlick in San Bruno questions, answered.

  • Do you work on Perlick equipment in San Bruno?
    Yes. We service back-bar coolers and undercounter refrigeration for the restaurants and bars along San Bruno Avenue and near the old Tanforan site.
  • Are you a Perlick dealer?
    No. We're independent, no factory authorization. We hold EPA #1279674151528 for sealed-system work and quote everything in writing before we start.
  • How quickly can you respond in San Bruno?
    The technician who covers our Peninsula calls lives in San Mateo, a short drive from San Bruno, so response here is faster than a dispatch from San Ramon would be. We cannot promise same day every time, but a cooler down during business hours gets bumped up the schedule.
