True in Los Altos Hills
True commercial service.
Los Altos Hills is entirely residential, so the True equipment here lives in estate kitchens, guest houses, and entertainment spaces. Owners who cook seriously or host often choose T-Series reach-ins and TUC undercounters over consumer appliances for capacity and recovery speed, and then discover that residential appliance companies will not service them. That is where we come in, through our commercial division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service.
Hillside properties add a wrinkle: long driveways, detached guest structures, and units installed far from the main panel. Voltage drop on long runs stresses compressor start components, and I check start relays and capacitors on Los Altos Hills calls more often than anywhere else because of it.
We are EPA Section 608 Universal certified, licensed CSLB #1136642, and we put every recommendation in a written quote before work begins. The $75 diagnostic is waived with repair, and we are available 7 days.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Compressor start components stressed by long electrical runs. Detached pool houses and guest kitchens at the end of long circuits see voltage sag at compressor start, which burns relays and capacitors early. The symptom is clicking without starting. We test the circuit, replace the start components, and flag the wiring issue if the run itself is the cause.
- Fan motor bearings dried out from intermittent use. Units that idle between gatherings wear bearings in a different way, drying and flat-spotting rather than grinding down. The motor stalls under summer load. Replacement with an OEM True kit plus a condenser cleaning restores full capacity.
- Gasket set and coil icing on lightly used doors. A door that stays shut for weeks lets the gasket take a compression set, and once it leaks, humid air slowly ices the evaporator, helped along by a defrost timer that seizes from inactivity. We renew gaskets, replace the timer when needed, and run the unit through a verified defrost.

FAQ
True in Los Altos Hills questions, answered.
-
How far is Los Altos Hills from your San Ramon base?
Roughly 50 minutes via 680 and 280, so we plan it as part of a Peninsula route with Palo Alto, Saratoga, and Los Gatos stops. Scheduled maintenance rides those routes, and a dead unit before an event gets a dedicated trip. We work 7 days. -
Our True unit is in a guest house down a shared driveway. Is access an issue?
No, just give us gate codes and parking notes when booking. We carry everything in from the van, and hillside or detached-structure installs are the majority of what we see in Los Altos Hills. -
Should a home True unit get maintenance even if it seems fine?
Yes, once a year is right for a lightly used unit: coil cleaning, gasket inspection, a forced defrost cycle, and start-component testing. Most of the emergency calls I get in the Hills would have been caught by exactly that visit.
