True in San Pablo
True commercial service.
San Pablo Avenue runs through the city, and Rumrill Boulevard is an arterial where shops and homes sit side by side. A True reach-in or bottle cooler that has worked behind a counter on either street for 15 or 20 years has reached the age when a slow refrigerant leak tends to appear.
Vibration and corrosion open a joint in the sealed system over time. The box still runs, the compressor hardly stops, and the temperature creeps up week by week. We confirm the charge is low, find the leak, repair the joint, pull a vacuum and recharge by weight. That work requires EPA 608 Universal certification, which ADRIUM holds.
Our technician for San Pablo is based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and the written quote sets the repair beside the price of a new unit so the choice is yours.
Common repairs we handle.
- Slow refrigerant leak on a long-serving cabinet. The signs are a compressor that never rests, a cabinet that loses a degree or two a week and frost covering only part of the evaporator coil. We locate the leak, repair it and hold the system under vacuum before recharging, so the fix lasts.
- Condenser fan motor with worn bearings. The condenser fan pushes heat out of the machine compartment. As its bearings wear it slows, squeals or stops, and the compressor overheats and trips. We replace the motor and blade, clean the coil and check compressor amp draw afterward.
- Bottle cooler lid gasket gone hard. Old gaskets harden and shrink, and cold spills out on every opening. The compressor makes up for it by running longer, which costs power and wears it early. We fit a gasket with the correct profile and check that the lid seats evenly.

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.

FAQ
True in San Pablo questions, answered.
-
Our True has worked on San Pablo Avenue for almost twenty years. Fix it or buy new?
It depends on the cabinet and the fault. A thermostat, fan or gasket is almost always worth doing. A sealed-system leak on a cabinet with a rusted floor or tired insulation is where replacement starts to make sense. We write both numbers down so you can compare. -
The compressor runs all day and the cooler never gets under 45. Is that a leak?
It can be, but the cheap causes come first. A packed condenser coil or a dead condenser fan gives the same symptom. We rule those out, then read pressures and temperatures to confirm a low charge before hunting for the leak. -
Do you work on older R-134a True units as well as the R-290 ones?
Yes. The older R-134a systems and the newer R-290 hydrocarbon systems need different tools and procedures, especially R-290, which is flammable. Most failures on either are the same parts: thermostats, fans, gaskets and defrost.
