True in Hercules
True commercial service.
Hercules is mostly two-story homes, with suburbs built along Refugio Valley Road in the 1970s and 1980s and newer building around the Waterfront. A True bottle cooler in the garage or a True under-counter behind a family room bar is commercial equipment living in a house, and it needs a commercial refrigeration diagnosis rather than a guess.
The climate is mild, so a garage unit in Hercules rarely fights extreme heat. When one runs warm, the cause usually sits in the unit: a blocked grille, a dirty coil, a tired fan motor or a gasket that no longer seals. Our technician for the area is based in Benicia. You pay $99 for the diagnosis, credited toward the repair, and see a written quote first. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for any refrigerant work.
Common repairs we handle.
- Under-counter choking on its own exhaust behind cabinetry. A True under-counter breathes through its front grille. Built into a bar with a kickplate, a rug or a stool pressed against that grille, it pulls in its own warm air and the compressor runs long, hot cycles. We clean the coil, check the condenser fan and show you what needs to stay clear.
- Bottle cooler humming while the bottles stay warm. A hum with no cooling points at the start side: a failed relay, a weak capacitor or an overload that keeps tripping. We test each part and the compressor windings, and replace the start parts when the compressor tests good. A garage outlet shared with a freezer or power tools gets checked too.
- Scraping from the evaporator fan inside the cabinet. A scrape or chirp from behind the interior panel is the evaporator fan, often with ice on the blade. Left alone, the fan stops and the cabinet warms from the top down. We replace the motor, clear the ice and check the defrost drain so the water does not refreeze around the new one.

True Reach-In Freezer Door Gasket Replacement
A Livermore restaurant's two-door reach-in freezer was losing cold air at the door. The gasket had gone stiff and no longer pressed flat against the cabinet, so the seal broke every time the door closed.

A Coca-Cola branded True GDM-12 glass door cooler at a Daly City ice cream shop had stopped cooling, and the controller on the front grille was flashing PF 1 instead of the case temperature.

FAQ
True in Hercules questions, answered.
-
We put a True under-counter in our family room bar. Do you work in homes?
Yes. Commercial equipment in a house gets the same on-site diagnosis as a unit in a restaurant. We protect the floor and cabinetry, slide the unit out only if we have to, and work through the front grille when the repair allows it. -
Our True bottle cooler in the garage runs almost nonstop. Is that normal?
No. A healthy unit cycles off once it reaches its set temperature. Nonstop running means it cannot get rid of heat or keep the cold in: a dirty coil, a failing fan, a gap in a gasket or low refrigerant. We check them cheapest first and quote before we touch anything. -
Is a used True from a restaurant sale worth fixing up for home use?
Often, yes. True cabinets are built heavy, and most faults are parts like thermostats, fans and gaskets. We check the sealed system before you put money in, so you know whether it has years left or a leak waiting.
