Monogram Built-in Appliance Repair · Portola Valley, CA

Portola Valley is custom homes on wooded acreage off Alpine Road and Portola Road, mid-century modern houses in the Ladera-adjacent pockets built for a flush, built-in look, and ranch properties out toward Skyline with kitchens sized to match. A lot of these run a Monogram column refrigerator or a side-by-side next to a matched range, kept for twenty years the way people here keep things, so the repairs I see lean toward the sealed system rather than a swap.

The call I get most in Portola Valley often follows a PG&E public safety power shutoff. The column rides out the outage on its stored cold, but a slow refrigerant leak that had been masked by normal operation shows itself once the compressor has to work harder catching back up, or the repeated hard restarts during a run of shutoffs wear out a start relay that was already marginal. Either way, a Monogram is built to be rebuilt at the sealed system, so I draw off the charge, mend the leak, pull a hard vacuum, and refill to the factory weight rather than writing the box off.

ADRIUM operates independently out of San Ramon, and Andrew handles the sealed-system work himself rather than subbing it out. We hold EPA 608 certification and CSLB #1136642, waive the $75 diagnostic on an approved repair, and put the quote in writing before any work begins.
