You're based in San Ramon. How does that work for a San Bruno call?

We have a technician who works the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so San Bruno is a local stop for him, not a trip across the bay from San Ramon. Call and we'll tell you honestly what the day looks like for getting there.

We're a food-court tenant and the landlord handles some mechanical issues. Who do we call?

Call us directly for the reach-in itself, tenants almost always own that equipment even when the landlord handles building systems. If there's any question about who's responsible for what, I can help sort that out on site.

Our unit is older and someone quoted us a full compressor swap. Is that the right call?

Sometimes, but not as often as it gets quoted. I test the actual components first, contactor, start relay, capacitor, before assuming compressor, and you'll get that finding in writing along with the $99 diagnostic waived if we do the repair.

Traulsen in San Bruno

Traulsen commercial service.

San Bruno sits right under the SFO flight path, and its food service mix reflects that. The Shops at Tanforan runs a food court with several Traulsen reach-ins working through mall hours, El Camino Real carries a steady line of restaurants, and a handful of catering operations here serve airport-adjacent business without ever slowing down.

San Bruno now gets covered by a technician based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, instead of routing through San Ramon for every call.

Diagnostic runs $99 and is waived when you approve the repair. Every job gets a written quote first, and refrigerant work is done under my EPA 608 Universal certification.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Evaporator icing that comes back every afternoon. A unit that holds temperature fine overnight and then climbs through the lunch or dinner rush usually has a defrost heater or termination thermostat that quit doing its job. Ice builds on the coil, airflow drops, and the box loses ground exactly when it's busiest. I clear the ice, test the heater and the termination control under load, and check the drain so meltwater doesn't just refreeze and restart the cycle.
Food-court doors that stop closing on their own. A mall food-court reach-in gets opened as often as any restaurant line, and Traulsen's cam-lift hinges wear from that volume the same way. Once the door stops pulling itself shut, the gasket takes the damage first and the compressor runs long trying to cover the leak. Rebuilding the hinge and swapping the gasket usually solves it without replacing the whole door assembly.
Drain lines that refreeze after every defrost cycle. If the drain line runs cold or has a low spot where water sits, meltwater from defrost can refreeze before it ever leaves the cabinet, which brings the ice right back within hours. I trace the drain route, clear any blockage, and check that the drain line heater, where the unit has one, is actually working.
