A call here is more likely to involve a freight elevator than a driveway. Downtown and the Strip have filled up with apartments over the past two decades, many of them inside buildings that started life as offices, warehouses or department stores, so the appliances are newer than the walls and the plumbing runs a long way. Up the hill, the Hill District and Uptown are rowhouse and walk-up country, where the questions are steps, parking and older service lines.
Two things worth knowing about Perlick before we arrive: Perlick makes under-counter refrigeration, beverage centers and bar equipment for commercial bars and high-end home bars alike; and Perlicks are built to be serviced where they're installed and to keep running for many years.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Perlick: platform and parts
Perlick belongs to the Commercial family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Perlick equipment in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown kitchens and bars
A Perlick unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Downtown, Strip District & Uptown outside the busy part of the day, and we ask for the model and serial number over the phone so the likeliest parts are already with us.
Refrigeration and ice come with food-safety obligations, so you get a note of what we found and what we changed. If the failure traces back to maintenance, such as a grease-coated condenser, a torn gasket or an ice machine that needs descaling, we'll tell you, since that's what brings on the next breakdown.
Where Perlick appliances sit in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown
Stacked washer-dryers whose exhaust has to travel through a building before it reaches outside air, 24-inch dishwashers in galley kitchens, counter-depth refrigerators boxed in tight, and electric or induction cooking in the converted buildings. In the Strip, restaurants and food shops add reach-in coolers, prep tables and ice machines.
No matter the brand, a Perlick appliance in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in a closet in the unit, usually as a stacked or 24-inch pair, or a shared laundry room on another floor of the building.
The model number saves a trip
When a repair in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown takes two visits, it's almost always because of a part. The model number on the rating label tells us exactly which parts fit and which ones that model tends to wear out, so we can bring them the first time.
You'll usually find that label inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom panel or on the back. Snap a clear photo and attach it when you book; nothing helps us more.
When replacing makes more sense
Repair is our trade, but we tell plenty of Downtown, Strip District & Uptown customers not to bother. Spending real money on a worn-out machine that's likely to fail again soon helps nobody, and you should hear that before you pay for anything.
We talk it through with you: how big the repair is, how old the unit is, what kind of appliance it is, and whether it's built into the cabinets. It's a call we make standing in front of it, not a formula.

Perlick in Downtown, Strip District & Uptown: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Many refrigerators and some freezers are designed for a heated room, and in an unheated Downtown, Strip District & Uptown garage the controls may not run the compressor enough on the coldest days. The owner's manual lists the temperature range your model was built for. We'll check whether it's the location or a fault before quoting anything.
That depends on how the week is booked across Downtown, Strip District & Uptown and the neighboring areas. Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you. If a refrigerator or freezer is failing with food inside, say so; it affects how we plan.
Not honestly. The same symptom can come from a small part or a major one, so the technician finds the cause at your Downtown, Strip District & Uptown address first and then gives you a price. Nothing is done until you agree, and if the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
Our first choice is the Perlick part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Perlick shares a parts bin with the other Commercial brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
That comes down to the part and the age. Pumps, valves, switches, elements, belts and fan motors are nearly always worth replacing. A dead control board or a sealed-system failure on an older machine is a harder call, and if a new one makes more sense we'll say so plainly.
