Traulsen in Atherton
Traulsen commercial service.
Atherton has almost no commercial zoning, so the Traulsen cabinets we service here live in private estates. Full prep kitchens with a two-section RHT reach-in, a roll-in for the catering rack, sometimes a blast chiller for a household with a private chef. These are the same machines that run in hospitals, chosen because the owners wanted equipment that holds temperature under real use. When one drifts warm before a hundred-person event, the household staff needs a tech who shows up on time, works clean, and does not need three visits to find the problem.
That is the job we set up for. I read the INTELA-TRAUL controller history first on newer cabinets, because the fault codes usually name the failing component before I open a panel. On estates with remote systems, where the condensing unit sits in a mechanical room away from the kitchen, we trace the whole circuit rather than assuming the problem is at the cabinet. Gate staff and house managers get a clear arrival window, and every quote is written before work starts.
Commercial refrigeration work runs through our Bay Area Refrigeration Service division. EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642. The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, and we work seven days because events do not wait for Monday.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Remote condensing unit faults in mechanical rooms. Estate installs often put the compressor in a basement or utility room to keep the kitchen quiet. A warm cabinet can then be a failed contactor at the cabinet, a leak in the line set, or a condensing unit fault two rooms away. We check the circuit end to end with gauges and a meter before naming the failure, because on remote systems the obvious suspect is wrong about half the time.
- Blast chiller probe and cycle faults. Households with private chefs sometimes run a Traulsen blast chiller, and the food probe is its most common failure. A bad probe makes chill cycles abort or run forever. The controller logs the fault specifically, so we verify the probe, replace it if it has drifted, and run a full chill cycle with a logged reference thermometer to prove the fix.
- Gasket and door alignment wear on high-use cabinets. Estate kitchens during event season open the reach-in doors hundreds of times a day. Gaskets compress, hinge cartridges wear, and the cabinet starts sweating and icing the coil. We replace gaskets with correct Traulsen profiles, rebuild the hinge cartridges, and check the door heater circuit so condensation does not come back.

FAQ
Traulsen in Atherton questions, answered.
-
How far is Atherton from your San Ramon base?
About 50 minutes across the Dumbarton Bridge in normal traffic. We route Atherton with Hillsborough, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills calls, so Peninsula days are planned in advance. For an urgent warm cabinet before an event, call early and we will tell you honestly what time we can commit to. -
Can you coordinate with household staff instead of the owner?
Yes, that is normal for us in Atherton. We take the service request from a house manager or chef, give a firm arrival window for the gate, and send the written quote to whoever approves spending. The one-year repair warranty is documented the same way. -
Is the diagnostic fee separate from the repair?
The diagnostic is $75 and it is waived when you approve the repair, so on a completed job you only pay the quoted work. Quotes are written, never verbal.
