True in Lafayette
True refrigeration in Lafayette.
Most of Lafayette's commercial kitchens sit downtown along Mt. Diablo Boulevard and around La Fiesta Square: sit-down restaurants, a couple of bars, bakeries with display cases, and the markets off Pleasant Hill Road. It's not a high-volume corridor, but the operators here run tight rooms and notice the second a True box drifts warm. We stock the truck so a fix doesn't turn into three return trips.
True is built well and worth fixing, so the calls here track age and wear. The common one is a prep table warming because the condenser coil is packed with flour and grease, or a reach-in gasket torn at the hinge so the door never really seals. We carry fan motors, relays, thermostats, gaskets, and start components on the truck, so a good share close on the first visit.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Prep table running warm. In a bakery or restaurant kitchen, a True prep rail that won't hold temp usually has a condenser caked with flour and grease running the compressor hot. We clean the coil, check the charge, and get it cooling again. Labor starts around $250 plus parts, quoted first.
- Reach-in gaskets torn at the hinge. A True door seal torn at the hinge means the box never really closes and the compressor never gets a break. It's a cheap, fast fix from truck stock, and doing it on time saves the expensive part later.
- Sealed-system and leak repair. Older True units eventually open a line and lose charge. We do recovery, evacuation, and weigh-in in-house under EPA Section 608 (#1279674151528), plus HC/R290 work for the newer hydrocarbon gear. Full rebuilds run up to $4000 with a two-year warranty.
