Do you serve all of Portola Valley?

We serve homes throughout the 94028 ZIP code. Portola Valley is about 16 miles west of our San Jose base, and we also cover nearby Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View and Cupertino.

Which brands do you repair?

We focus on Viking appliances and also repair Sub-Zero, Wolf and Thermador. We are an independent company and are not affiliated with any of these manufacturers.

Why is my refrigerator running all the time in summer?

Dusty condenser coils are a common cause during the dry season, along with worn door gaskets or a failing fan. Hot weather adds to the load, especially for units in garages. A technician can test the system and find the specific cause.

My outdoor grill won't light after winter. Can you fix it?

Yes. Damp winter months can corrode igniters, burners and valves. We inspect the grill, replace worn parts as needed, and check that gas flow and ignition work properly.

Do you repair built-in and column refrigerators?

Yes. We repair built-in, column and integrated refrigeration, including freezers, ice makers and wine coolers, and we take care to protect surrounding cabinetry during service.

What information should I have ready when I contact you?

Have the brand, appliance type and model number if you can find it, plus a description of the problem, including any error codes, unusual sounds or temperature changes you've noticed.

How the Local Climate Affects Your Appliances

Portola Valley shares the Mediterranean climate pattern of the Santa Clara Valley next door: dry summers and mild, damp winters. That pattern shows up in the kinds of problems we see.

During the dry months, dust builds up faster on refrigerator and freezer condenser coils. When coils are coated, a Sub-Zero or Viking refrigerator has to run longer to stay cold, which can lead to warm compartments, frost buildup or a compressor that seems to never shut off. On hot days, units in garages or other spaces without air conditioning work even harder, and wine coolers can struggle to hold a steady temperature.

In the damp winter months, outdoor equipment takes the hit. Moisture can corrode igniters, burners and valves on outdoor grills, so a grill that sat unused all winter may not light reliably when you bring it out in spring. Range hoods that vent outside can also collect moisture and grease, which affects fan performance. Regular cleaning and a check before heavy-use seasons can catch many of these issues early.

What to Expect When We Visit

When you contact us, we ask for the brand, the appliance type and a description of what's happening, such as the sounds, error codes or temperature readings you've noticed. That helps us arrive prepared.

At your home, the technician inspects the appliance, tests the components related to your symptoms, and tells you what's wrong in plain terms. You'll hear what the repair involves and whether parts need to be ordered before we start. We treat your kitchen with care, protecting floors and cabinetry around built-in units and cleaning up when the work is done.

Repair or Replace?

High-end appliances from Viking, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Thermador are built to be serviced, and many problems come down to a single failed part such as an igniter, thermostat, fan motor, door gasket or control board. In those cases, repair is usually the practical choice, especially for built-in units sized to fit custom cabinetry.

If an appliance has multiple failing systems or parts are no longer available, we'll tell you honestly so you can weigh your options. Our goal is to give you the information you need to decide, not to push you in either direction.
