True in Atherton
True commercial service.
Atherton has no commercial strip, and that shapes the work. Nearly every True unit we touch here is in an estate: a glass-door merchandiser in a butler pantry, a TUC undercounter in a pool house, or a full T-49 reach-in in a catering kitchen built for events. These are commercial machines living in residential settings, and they need a tech certified to handle them.
The failure pattern is different from a restaurant too. Estate units cycle less but sit longer, so I see more gasket set from doors staying closed for weeks, drain pans growing sludge, and defrost timers seizing from lack of exercise. A pre-event check often catches a problem before forty guests arrive.
ADRIUM Service Solutions handles commercial refrigeration through our Bay Area Refrigeration Service division. EPA Section 608 Universal, CSLB #1136642, written quotes, and the $75 diagnostic waived when you go ahead with the repair.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Condenser fan motor seizure after long idle periods. A fan motor that sits for months in a pool house develops flat spots in the bearings, then stalls under load in summer heat. The unit trips on high pressure or just stops cooling. We replace the motor with an OEM True kit and lubricate and test the full condensing section.
- Glass door merchandiser losing its seal. GDM series wine and beverage merchandisers in Atherton pantries lose gasket compression over time, and the glass sweats before the temperature ever drifts. Condensation on the door is your early warning. New gaskets and a door alignment stop it before the compressor starts short-cycling.
- Evaporator ice-up before a catered event. A stuck defrost timer will ice the coil exactly when the unit is loaded for a party. We replace the timer, clear the coil and drain, and check refrigerant charge so the cabinet holds temperature under a full event load.

FAQ
True in Atherton questions, answered.
-
How long is the drive from San Ramon to Atherton?
About 45 to 50 minutes over the Dumbarton Bridge on 84. We group Atherton with Hillsborough, Palo Alto, and Los Altos Hills visits, so Peninsula days are planned routes rather than one-off trips. For a down unit before an event, tell us the date and we prioritize it. We work 7 days. -
Will you coordinate with our house manager or estate staff?
Yes, most Atherton visits are scheduled through staff. We confirm the arrival window, work cleanly around the household, and leave a written report of what was found and repaired, with the quote approved before any parts go in. -
Our True unit is built into cabinetry. Can you service it without damaging the millwork?
True designs these units for front service, and we treat the surrounding cabinetry as untouchable. If a repair genuinely requires pulling the unit, I explain that in the quote first so there are no surprises with the woodwork.
