How long does it take you to reach Oakland from San Ramon?

About 30 to 35 minutes on 580 or through the Caldecott. We batch Oakland with Piedmont and Berkeley on Inner East Bay days, and because the restaurant density here is high we are in Oakland often, which works in your favor for same-day slots.

Do you handle older True units that still run R134a?

Yes. Plenty of Oakland cabinets are ten-plus years old on R134a, and the newer replacements run R290. I am Section 608 Universal certified so refrigerant type is never the limiting factor, the condition of the compressor is.

What if my walk-in and my True reach-in both have problems?

One visit covers both. The $75 diagnostic applies per visit, not per box, and if you approve repairs we waive it. Bring us the whole list and we will quote everything in writing.

True in Oakland

True commercial service.

Oakland probably has more True cabinets per square mile than any East Bay city. Temescal and Uptown bars run T-49 and back bar coolers through late-night service, Chinatown markets line their walls with GDM glass-door merchandisers, and the delis and corner stores from Fruitvale to Grand Lake depend on reach-ins that never get a day off. When one fails on a Friday, the weekend's revenue is sitting inside it.

That is why we structured our commercial refrigeration division, Bay Area Refrigeration Service, around fast response and stocked parts. True components are widely available in the Bay Area, so a fan motor or gasket call in Oakland rarely waits on shipping. ADRIUM Service Solutions is licensed under CSLB #1136642, owner Andrew Kuznetsov holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification, and we run every day of the week.

Diagnostic is $75 and comes off the invoice when you approve the repair. Quotes are written, repairs are warrantied for 1 year, and I will always tell you when a cabinet has reached the point where repair money is wasted money.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Back bar and reach-in fan motors dying from bearing wear. Bar coolers live in the hottest, stickiest corner of the building, and their condenser fan bearings take the abuse. In Oakland bars I regularly find the motor seized and the compressor cooking itself against high head pressure. Replacing the motor before the compressor overheats is the difference between a small bill and a big one.
Merchandiser gaskets worn flat by constant customer traffic. Corner store GDM doors get opened hundreds of times a day. When the gasket compresses flat and stops sealing, the unit short-cycles, the glass fogs, and the electric bill climbs. True gaskets snap in without tools once you have the right profile, and we carry the common sizes.
Evaporator ice-up from failed defrost timing. A deli reach-in that gradually warms over a week almost always has a defrost timer that stopped advancing, letting frost close off the evaporator. We thaw the coil, confirm the defrost heater draws current, and replace the timer or updated electronic control so airflow stays open.
