We design customized preventive maintenance programs that include scheduled inspections, cleaning, calibration, and priority service for contract customers. This approach reduces unexpected breakdowns and extends the life of your equipment.
How do I know if my commercial refrigeration unit needs to be repaired or replaced?
Generally, if a unit is more than 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, uses a phased-out refrigerant, or is no longer maintaining consistent temperatures, replacement may be the more economical choice. Our technicians will provide an honest assessment and help you weigh the costs of repair versus replacement.
Are your technicians licensed and certified to handle refrigerants?
Absolutely. All of our technicians hold EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant handling, and our company maintains C4 and C20 California Contractor’s Licenses. We follow all federal and state regulations regarding refrigerant recovery, recycling, and disposal.
Can you install a walk-in cooler in an existing Mountain View commercial space?
Yes, we regularly retrofit walk-in coolers and freezers into existing commercial buildings. Our team evaluates your space, designs a system that fits your layout and cooling requirements, and handles the full installation including electrical and plumbing connections.
What should I do if my commercial refrigerator is not holding the correct temperature?
First, check that the thermostat is set correctly and that door gaskets are sealing properly. If the issue persists, it could indicate a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or dirty condenser coils. Contact Bay Area Mechanical to schedule a diagnostic visit so we can identify and resolve the problem before it leads to inventory loss or a health code violation.
