Commercial Refrigeration & Ice Machine Repair · Martinez, CA

Refrigeration and ice machine repair in Martinez

Martinez has a few different worlds packed into one zip code. The historic downtown by the marina is full of independent restaurants and bars. The county seat keeps a steady weekday crowd moving through the courthouse and government buildings, feeding the taquerias, delis, and grab-and-go spots nearby. Out toward the refineries you’ve got industrial break rooms and convenience stores running coolers around the clock. We keep all of it cold.

We’re dispatched out of San Ramon and Martinez sits at the north edge of our area, up near Concord. We make the run and we know the streets. We cover Main Street kitchens, the markets and corner stores, and the hillside homes off Alhambra and along Reliez Valley where a Sub-Zero or U-Line shows up now and then.

What we work on

Walk-in coolers and freezers that drift warm or ice up the evaporator. Reach-ins and back-bar coolers that won’t hold temp. Prep tables losing their rail, undercounter units short-cycling, deli cases sweating or running high. On the ice side: machines that quit producing, drop soft or hollow cubes, or freeze up mid-cycle.

A lot of that traces back to one of a few things. Failed start components, a dirty or blocked condenser, a bad fan motor, a stuck defrost cycle, or a slow refrigerant leak. Sealed-system work, the leak repair and the recovery, evacuation, and weigh-in, we do in-house. EPA #1279674151528 covers the refrigerant handling, and we’re trained on R290 hydrocarbon units too, which matters on a lot of the Atosa and newer gear around town.

Ice machines and hard water

Martinez water leaves scale, and scale is what kills ice machines here. We descale, swap water filters, and rebuild water systems. On Manitowoc we’re factory-trained, certified through the Manitowoc Ice and Koolaire field service seminar, so the Indigo NXT, NEO, and QuietQube units we know cold. Hoshizaki, Scotsman, and the rest we service as an independent shop.

We carry the common failure parts on the truck, so most repairs close out the first trip. If something has to be ordered, we tell you the part and the timing up front.

Fast on the calls that count

We run 7 AM to 7 PM every day, same number after hours for emergencies, and we put outages first. A warm walk-in or a dead ice machine on a Friday night is the call we grab.

Diagnostic is $75, waived when you approve the repair, and you get a written quote before any work. Reach us at (925) 999-4095 or [email protected].
