Scotsman in Portola Valley
Scotsman refrigeration in Portola Valley.
Portola Valley keeps an even lower profile than Woodside next door. The town center holds a market and a wine shop, and most of the land is wooded canyon lots along Alpine Road and Portola Road, backing up against the open space preserve. There's no restaurant scene here, so the Scotsman work is almost entirely a home bar's undercounter ice machine.
We service Scotsman as an independent shop, not a factory dealer. We're a CSLB-licensed refrigeration company (#1136642) working on undercounter ice machines built into estate kitchens. Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, written quote before anything else.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Generator power during fire-season shutoffs trips control boards. A fair number of these hillside homes run on backup generators for a few days at a stretch during PG&E fire-season power shutoffs, and generator power isn't as clean as the grid. A voltage sag or surge can trip an ice machine's control board or throw a fault code that has nothing to do with the machine itself. Before I call a board dead on a Portola Valley call, I check whether the house was running on generator power when it happened.
- Ice machines that sit unused between visits. A home bar unit that only runs when the house has guests develops the same problems a daily-use commercial machine never gets the chance to: stale water in the lines, a float switch stuck from disuse, mineral deposits nobody's flushed out. We check all three before we assume a part has failed.
- Sealed-system leaks, repaired properly. When a unit won't hold its set point or keeps short-cycling, we're looking at the sealed system underneath, a slow refrigerant leak or a compressor on its way out. We recover, evacuate, and recharge under EPA #1279674151528, in-house, every time.

FAQ
Scotsman in Portola Valley questions, answered.
-
Is it worth calling you for just one ice machine way out in Portola Valley?
Yes, we take calls here regularly even though the town is quiet. Same $99 diagnostic and written quote as anywhere else. -
My ice machine's control board keeps failing. Could it be the house's generator?
Possibly. If the property runs on backup power during a PG&E shutoff, a voltage sag or surge from the generator can trip a control board or throw a fault code that isn't really a machine problem. We check that before replacing anything. -
How long before someone can get out here?
Our Peninsula technician is based in San Mateo County, so Portola Valley isn't a long detour. You'll get a real arrival window when you book, not a same-day promise.
