How far is Millbrae from your San Ramon base, and can you do same-week service?

About 50 minutes over the San Mateo Bridge and up 101. We run Millbrae and Hillsborough as one Mid-Peninsula loop, usually two or three days a week, so same-week is normal and next-day is often possible if you are flexible on the window.

The Summit is built into cabinetry in my condo. Will you damage the surround getting it out?

No. Undercounter extraction is routine for us. We protect the floor, remove the anti-tip brackets, and walk the unit out square instead of levering it against the counter. Most Summit repairs can be done with the unit pulled two feet forward, so it never fully leaves the kitchen.

My tenant's Summit fridge died in an ADU rental. How do you handle landlord calls?

We coordinate directly with the tenant for access, then send you the diagnosis, written quote, and photos so you approve remotely. The $75 diagnostic folds into the repair if you go ahead, and the invoice comes to you, not the tenant.

Summit in Millbrae

Summit in Millbrae kitchens.

Summit shows up in Millbrae anywhere a full-size refrigerator does not fit. The newer condo buildings near the BART and Caltrain hub use Summit undercounter units in small kitchens and wet bars, the backyard ADUs going in behind mid-century houses use their compact all-refrigerators, and the SFO-adjacent offices and medical suites along El Camino run Summit beverage centers and med-grade boxes in break rooms and labs.

Felix Storch has owned this niche for decades, and the units are honest hardware, which means they are worth fixing. The catch is that a built-in undercounter unit lives inside cabinetry, and pulling it wrong chews up the toe kick or the counter edge. We pull them right, service them on a mat, and slide them back with the anti-tip hardware reset.

The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, quotes are written, and we schedule seven days a week, which matters when the failed unit is in a rental or an office that cannot wait for Monday.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Cold control and thermistor drift. A Summit that freezes lettuce on setting 3 or will not hold 38 degrees usually has a drifting cold control or thermistor, not a compressor problem. I verify with a logged temp check, replace the control, and confirm the unit cycles at the right cut-in and cut-out points before I leave.
Evaporator fan noise in undercounter units. In a quiet condo a tired fan bearing is impossible to ignore, a tick that becomes a growl at night. The fan sits behind the interior back panel and is a straightforward replacement. I also clear the drain channel while the panel is off, since a blocked drain is often forming ice against the blades.
Outdoor and garage units losing cooling. Millbrae's fog and cool nights push outdoor-rated Summit units outside their friendly range, and marginal door gaskets or a dusty condenser show up as warm drinks. I clean the coil, test gasket seal with a dollar-bill pull, and check the compressor start components that take the abuse of cold starts.
