Mt. Lebanon is one of the region's classic suburbs, with brick houses from the 1920s to the 1950s tucked close together on curving streets, many with the garage cut into the basement. Upper St. Clair came later and has more room, and the boroughs along Route 51, from Pleasant Hills to Jefferson Hills, are largely postwar ranches and split-levels. Across all of them, the basement and the garage are where appliances have the hardest time.
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.

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 Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills: 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 Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills kitchens and bars
A Perlick unit that's down is costing you money by the hour. We try to reach commercial calls around Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills 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 Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills
Garage refrigerators and chest freezers in unheated tuck-under garages, basement washers and dryers with long vent runs through finished ceilings, dehumidifiers and freezers side by side on damp basement floors, and remodeled kitchens with built-in refrigerators, wall ovens and pro-style ranges.
No matter the brand, a Perlick appliance in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills 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 the basement in Mt. Lebanon's older houses, and a basement or a first-floor laundry room in the newer houses of Upper St. Clair and Pleasant Hills.
Stacked and compact laundry
In Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills' apartments and converted buildings, laundry often means a stacked set or a pair of 24-inch machines in a closet. They do the job, but they're less forgiving: a kinked drain hose, a flattened vent or a closet door that chokes off the dryer's air quickly turns into long cycles and codes.
Separating a stacked pair and fitting it back into a narrow closet without damage is part of what we do. When you book, tell us how wide the closet is and whether it's two machines on a stacking kit or a single laundry center.
Dryer vents in older houses
Try this: run the dryer on its hottest setting for ten minutes and hold your hand at the outside hood. A strong, warm flow is what you want. A weak puff means something along the run is blocked.
In winter, the moist exhaust can freeze at the hood and hold the flap shut. A clogged vent is a fire hazard as well as a nuisance, so a full cleaning every so often is money well spent.

Perlick in Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills: 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.
Usually. When you book a Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Not at all. Most repairs are done where the machine stands, and around Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills laundry is usually in the basement in Mt. Lebanon's older houses, and a basement or a first-floor laundry room in the newer houses of Upper St. Clair and Pleasant Hills. If the stairs are very narrow or steep, tell us when you book so we can plan for anything that might need to come out.
Many refrigerators and some freezers are designed for a heated room, and in an unheated Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair & Pleasant Hills 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.
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.
