Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.

Recovers refrigerant safely following EPA Section 608 rules. We never vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Required for any sealed system repair.
Detects temperature inconsistencies across the evaporator coil, condenser coil, and door seals. Finds blockages and leaks that are invisible to the eye.
Measures compressor amp draw without disconnecting wires. Tells us if the compressor is failing or working harder than it should.
Sniffs out refrigerant leaks in the sealed system. We use electronic and ultrasonic detectors to find slow leaks that pressure tests miss.
A homeowner in Rancho Rinconada had a chest freezer in the garage that stopped freezing during a September heat wave. The freezer ran constantly but wouldn't get below 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Food was softening, and the compressor was hot to the touch.
We cleaned the condenser coil, replaced a failed start relay, and verified the freezer pulled down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit within 90 minutes. The compressor amp draw dropped to normal levels. Total repair cost was under $300.
A family in Monta Vista was defrosting their upright freezer every three weeks. Frost built up on the back wall and shelves, reducing storage space. The freezer ran constantly, and energy bills were climbing.
We found a cracked door gasket and a failed defrost heater. We replaced both, verified the defrost cycle worked, and confirmed the freezer held 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The family hasn't defrosted it manually since.
A restaurant in Downtown Cupertino had a walk-in freezer warming up on a Saturday morning. Temperature was climbing past 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Inventory worth thousands was at risk, and the lunch rush was three hours away.
We arrived within two hours, found a refrigerant leak at a flare fitting, repaired it, pulled a vacuum, and recharged the system with R-134a. The walk-in returned to 0 degrees Fahrenheit before lunch service. Inventory was saved.
Freezers fail in predictable ways. Here are the issues we see most often in Cupertino homes and businesses, and how we fix them.
Ask a pro →We test the thermostat, compressor, and refrigerant charge. Most often, it's a failed thermostat or a slow refrigerant leak. We replace the thermostat or repair the leak, then recharge the system and verify it holds 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Excess frost usually means a bad door gasket or a failed defrost heater. We inspect the gasket for cracks, test the defrost system, and replace what's failed. A new gasket costs far less than a new freezer.
We use a clamp meter to test compressor amp draw and a multimeter to check the relay. If the relay is bad, we replace it on the spot. If the compressor is failing, we quote a replacement and explain your options.
We test the outlet, power cord, control board, and internal wiring. Most no-power issues trace back to a failed control board or a tripped internal breaker. We replace the board and verify the freezer powers up and cools correctly.
