You're in San Ramon. What's coverage like out here on the coast?

Our technician is based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, and covers Pacifica as part of that local territory rather than as a special trip from San Ramon. Call and we'll give you a straight answer on when someone can get out there.

Does the salt air really make that much difference for a Traulsen?

Yes. Coil fins, hinges, and electrical terminals all corrode faster this close to the water than they would a few miles inland. It doesn't mean the equipment isn't worth having, it means the maintenance interval should be shorter, and I'll tell you honestly what I see on the coil and hardware during any visit.

Our unit is short-cycling and we're not sure if it's the compressor or something else.

Short-cycling out here is often a corroded contactor or a coil that's lost airflow to corrosion buildup, not the compressor. For $99, waived if we do the repair, I'll test it properly and give you the answer in writing instead of guessing.

Traulsen in Pacifica

Traulsen commercial service.

Pacifica doesn't have the restaurant density of the Peninsula cities inland from it, but the seafood spots and cafes along Highway 1 and near Rockaway Beach run their Traulsen reach-ins in genuinely tough conditions. Salt-laden coastal air is a real corrosion factor here, and it shows up on refrigeration equipment faster than most owners expect.

Our Peninsula-based technician, working out of San Mateo County, covers the Pacifica coastline now instead of routing calls up from San Ramon.

The diagnostic is $99, waived if you approve the repair, with a written quote before any work starts. I'm EPA 608 Universal certified for sealed-system and refrigerant work.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Condenser coils corroding faster than the manual says they should. Salt air pits and corrodes aluminum condenser fins over time, and in Pacifica that process runs well ahead of what you'd see a few miles inland. A corroded coil restricts airflow, raises head pressure, and shortens compressor life. I check fin condition on every coastal visit and recommend a cleaning and inspection interval that actually matches the environment, not a generic schedule.
Hinges and exterior hardware seizing up from salt exposure. Traulsen's cam-lift hinges and exterior fasteners are built for hard commercial use, but constant salt air corrodes them faster than the wear you'd get from traffic alone. A hinge that starts sticking or a door that stops closing square is often corrosion first, wear second. I free up or replace what's seized and treat the hardware to slow the next round.
Contactors and electrical terminals corroding to intermittent failures. Green corrosion on a contactor or terminal block causes exactly the kind of intermittent no-start that's hard to diagnose over the phone, the unit runs fine one day and won't start the next. I check electrical connections for corrosion on every coastal call, not just when there's an obvious complaint, because it's cheaper to catch early than after it strands a load of product.
