True in Pacifica
True commercial service.
Pacifica's restaurants sit close enough to the water that salt air is a real factor in how long a True unit lasts, not a talking point. The seafood spots and cafes along Highway 1 and around the Pier keep reach-ins and undercounter coolers running in that air every day, and the corrosion shows up on hinges, coil fins, and cabinet trim years before it would on a unit set back from the coast. This is a city where I look at the outside of the cabinet as closely as the compressor compartment.
Commercial refrigeration runs through Bay Area Refrigeration Service, our division under ADRIUM Service Solutions. I am Andrew Kuznetsov, EPA Section 608 Universal certified, and the company holds CSLB #1136642. We now keep a technician based on the Peninsula, so Pacifica gets local response rather than a drive from San Ramon over the hill. Diagnosis is $99, credited back when you approve the written quote, 7 days a week.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Condenser coil fins corroding from direct salt air. A True condenser coil facing Highway 1 salt air pits and corrodes at the fins years faster than the same unit would inland. Corroded fins restrict airflow, the compressor runs hotter to compensate, and head pressure climbs until the unit trips on high pressure. I clean what can be saved and flag fin damage early, because coil corrosion only gets worse with time.
- Compressor electrical contacts pitting and causing intermittent failures. Salt-laden air gets into the compressor compartment and pits the electrical contacts on contactors and relays, and the result is a unit that cuts out randomly instead of failing cleanly. That intermittent behavior is harder to diagnose than a dead compressor, so I check contacts and connections closely on any Pacifica call with an unpredictable fault.
- Door hinges and cabinet hardware rusting and losing alignment. Hinges and latch hardware on cabinets near the coast rust and seize faster than the gasket wears out. A stiff hinge lets the door hang slightly open, and warm air leaks in the whole time. Replacing corroded hardware with fresh parts is often cheaper than the energy the compressor wastes fighting a door that will not seal.

FAQ
True in Pacifica questions, answered.
-
Does the salt air actually shorten how long a True unit lasts here?
Yes, and it is worth planning for. Coils, hinges, and electrical contacts corrode faster this close to the coast, so I recommend more frequent coil cleaning for Pacifica kitchens than I would for the same unit a few miles inland. -
How fast can you respond, since San Ramon is over the hill?
We now have a technician based on the Peninsula in San Mateo County, so Pacifica is covered locally rather than by a driver crossing over from San Ramon. I will not promise a same-day window, but coverage here is genuinely local now. -
Do you also cover Half Moon Bay kitchens along the coast?
Yes, Half Moon Bay is a short run down Highway 1 from Pacifica and we take calls there on the same coastal route.
