Commercial Refrigeration & Ice Machine Repair · Alameda, CA

Refrigeration and ice repair for Alameda kitchens

Alameda is an island, and the commercial refrigeration work here splits between two old-fashioned main streets and a reused Naval base. Park Street runs the densest cluster of restaurants and cafes, Webster Street over in West Alameda has its own row of family kitchens and markets, and the breweries and tasting rooms that moved into the old hangars at Alameda Point are running walk-ins and bar coolers hard on weekends. South Shore Center adds its own anchor retail and food service. None of these owners want a truck roll that ends in a sales pitch instead of a real diagnosis.

We cover the full range of commercial equipment: walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, prep and sandwich tables, back-bar and bottle coolers, undercounter units, and the ice machines that keep a bar moving through a Friday crowd. Common Alameda calls: a Park Street reach-in losing temp on a torn door gasket, a Webster Street prep table running warm because the condenser hasn’t been cleaned behind a tight counter, an Alameda Point taproom’s bar cooler short-cycling on a failed start relay. We carry gaskets, fan motors, relays, thermostats, and contactors on the truck, so a lot of these involve parts we usually stock.

Ice takes a beating on both main streets and out at the Point. A cuber that never gets descaled starts pulling cloudy, thin cubes before it stops harvesting altogether. We’re Manitowoc-certified, factory-trained on Indigo NXT modular, NEO undercounter, and QuietQube remote-condenser systems, and we service Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and the rest as an independent shop. Most no-ice calls on the island trace back to scale, a stuck water valve, or a failed harvest cycle, and we’d rather clean and rebuild than push a new head.

Sealed-system work stays in-house. We hold EPA #1279674151528 for refrigerant recovery and we’re R290 hydrocarbon-trained, which covers the newer Atosa and self-contained undercounter units showing up in Alameda’s newer builds. Compressor swaps, leak repair, evacuation, and weigh-in, done by the same tech who ran the diagnostic.

The island’s Victorian and Craftsman housing stock in the Gold Coast and Fernside, along with the homes around Grand Marina and Ballena Bay, run a real amount of built-in Sub-Zero and U-Line refrigeration. We service those too, and we’ll tell you straight when an old built-in isn’t worth chasing once parts get hard to source.

Diagnostic is $99, credited toward the repair, and you get a written quote before any work. Down during service? Call (925) 999-4095, say it’s an outage, and we’ll prioritize it. We reach Alameda over one of the estuary bridges or through the Webster Tube off Oakland, on the same Inner East Bay route as our Oakland calls. We’re dispatched from San Ramon, 7AM to 7PM seven days, same number for after-hours emergencies. We’re a service line of ADRIUM Service Solutions, alongside Bay Area HVAC Service and Bay Area Coffee Service.
