Traulsen in South San Francisco

Traulsen commercial service.

South San Francisco runs two different kinds of kitchens. The biotech campuses along the east side of town operate corporate cafeterias and catering kitchens feeding shift after shift of lab staff, and those run Traulsen reach-ins and roll-ins hard, all day, every day. Grand Avenue and the older downtown blocks carry a more traditional restaurant strip, plus the produce and food distribution warehouses near the industrial core that need serious cold storage.

We cover South San Francisco with a technician based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo County, so this isn't a special trip from San Ramon anymore, it's a local route. That same route picks up Brisbane, right next door.

The diagnostic is $99, waived if you move forward with the repair, and every job gets a written quote before I touch anything. I hold EPA 608 Universal certification, which covers full sealed-system work including recovery and recharge.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Controller alarms silenced so often nobody trusts them anymore. A corporate cafeteria kitchen is loud and busy, and the first thing staff learn is how to mute an alarm on the digital controller. By the time I get called, the unit has usually been throwing a fault for days that everyone tuned out. I pull the alarm history first, because it almost always names the failing sensor or component before I open a single panel.
Start components giving out under nonstop biotech-campus duty. Cafeteria and catering units on a biotech campus rarely get a break between meal periods, and that constant cycling wears out start relays and capacitors faster than in a normal restaurant. A unit that hums and clicks without starting is usually one of those parts, not the compressor itself, and testing first keeps you from paying for a compressor you don't need.
Grease-loaded condensers on catering prep undercounters. Catering kitchens near the Grand Avenue corridor run undercounter Traulsens right beside fryers and flat-tops, and airborne grease settles on the condenser fins over time. That film insulates the coil, the unit works harder to reject heat, and eventually it can't keep up during the lunch push. Regular coil cleaning is the cheap fix that prevents the expensive one.
