How long is the drive to Orinda from San Ramon?

Around 30 to 35 minutes over Highway 24. We run Orinda together with Lafayette on the Diablo Valley side and with Berkeley and Piedmont when we are doing the tunnel anyway, so Orinda gets folded into routes several days a week.

We have a commercial Traulsen in our home kitchen. Do you charge differently for residential?

No. It is the same equipment and the same work, so it is the same $75 diagnostic, waived with repair, and the same written quote. Plenty of our Orinda calls are exactly this, a full commercial cabinet in a residence.

Our reach-in works but the compressor sounds louder than it used to. Worth a visit before it fails?

Yes, and it is the cheap version of this problem. Rising noise usually means high head pressure, worn compressor mounts, or a failing condenser fan bearing. Catching it at the noisy stage often means a cleaning or a fan motor instead of a compressor.

Traulsen in Orinda

Traulsen commercial service.

Orinda's commercial refrigeration lives in a compact core. The restaurants around Theatre Square and the Village run single and two section Traulsen reach-ins in kitchens that were never designed with spare square footage, and the country club and institutional kitchens in the hills run heavier equipment on longer duty cycles. Orinda also has a meaningful number of estate homes with true commercial Traulsen cabinets installed during kitchen remodels, and those fail the same ways restaurant units do.

We handle Traulsen work in Orinda through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, the commercial refrigeration division of ADRIUM Service Solutions. Tight Orinda kitchens usually mean self-contained units running in warm alcoves, which makes condenser airflow the first thing I check on almost every call here. Where a club kitchen runs remote equipment, I trace from the cabinet to the condensing unit before recommending parts.

Every job starts with a $75 diagnostic, waived when you approve the repair. Written quote first, one year warranty on the repair, seven days a week.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

High head pressure from alcove installations with no breathing room. Orinda kitchens tuck reach-ins into alcoves that starve the condenser of air. The unit recycles its own hot discharge, pressures climb, and the compressor ages fast. We clean the coil, measure the pressures, and tell you plainly if the installation itself needs a louver or a few inches of clearance to stop the repeat failures.
Gasket and hinge wear on estate-kitchen commercial units. Residential Traulsen installations in Orinda get opened constantly but rarely maintained. Ten-year-old gaskets harden, hinge cartridges sag, and the box sweats and runs long. This is inexpensive to fix properly and it is usually why the unit seems to be dying when it is not.
Controller sensor drift causing false temperature readings. A cabinet probe that drifts a few degrees makes the display lie. Product temps run warm while the controller reports normal. I verify with a calibrated thermometer, pull any fault history from the controller, and replace the sensor rather than adjusting setpoints to paper over it.
