You're in San Ramon. What does that actually mean for a Daly City call?

We now have a technician who lives and works the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so Daly City is a local stop for him rather than a cross-bay trip from San Ramon. Call and we'll give you a straight answer on timing for that day, no guessing.

Our condensing unit is jammed into a back alley with almost no room to work. Can you still service it?

Yes, that's a normal Daly City setup. I bring the tools for tight mechanical closets and back-alley platforms, and if access is genuinely unsafe we'll say so and figure out a plan before charging anything.

The building manager already had someone look at our unit and quoted a new condensing unit. Should we get a second read?

For $99, waived if we do the repair, it's worth it. A fouled coil or a bad start relay can look like a dying condensing unit until someone actually tests it, and I'll put the finding in writing.

Traulsen in Daly City

Traulsen commercial service.

Daly City packs its restaurants and delis tight along Mission Street and up at Top of the Hill, and the buildings are older, so the Traulsen reach-in in back is often squeezed into a kitchen with barely enough clearance to open the door all the way. The condensing unit in a lot of these spots lives in a narrow back alley or a single shared mechanical closet, which changes where I look first when a box goes warm.

We now run a technician based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so Daly City is a local call rather than a drive up from our San Ramon base. That covers Daly City proper and the neighboring pocket of Brisbane too, since it sits right against the same stretch of the 101.

Diagnostic is $99 and it's waived once you approve the repair. You get a written quote before anything happens, and I'm EPA 608 Universal certified for the refrigerant side of any sealed-system work.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Evaporator fan stalls while the display still reads cold. The temperature sensor sits near the coil, so when the fan motor slows or quits, that sensor can still show a reasonable number while the rest of the box climbs. In a small Mission Street kitchen nobody notices until product on the door shelves goes soft. We replace the motor and blade, then confirm the airflow is actually moving cold air to the far corners of the cabinet.
Cam-lift hinges giving out on doors that never stop swinging. A busy deli or diner opens that reach-in door hundreds of times a shift, and Traulsen's cam-lift hinges eventually wear enough that the door stops pulling itself shut the last few inches. The gasket gets crushed on one side, the compressor runs long trying to make up for the gap, and the fix is a hinge rebuild plus new gasket rather than a whole door.
Condensing units fouled by alley grime and street dust. Where the condenser sits out back in an alley or a shared closet, it pulls in whatever the street kicks up, cooking grease film included. A dirty coil raises head pressure and eventually trips the compressor on high pressure or burns out the start relay. Cleaning the coil and testing the contactor and start components first saves a lot of owners from paying for a compressor they didn't need.
