True in Orinda
True refrigeration in Orinda.
Orinda is a small town with a high bar. Most of the commercial work sits around Theatre Square and the shops by the BART station, with the country club and a few restaurants out along Moraga Way filling in the rest. Volume isn't huge, but when a True reach-in warms up on a Saturday, the loss is real and immediate. The run over the hill through the tunnel is a short one for us.
True is built well and worth fixing, so the calls here track age and wear. The common ones are iced-up evaporators from a stuck defrost, condenser fan motors that have seized, dirty coils choking airflow, and door gaskets that quit sealing. We carry fan motors, relays, thermostats, gaskets, and start components on the truck, so a good share of these get fixed on the first visit.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Reach-in or prep rail warming. The common True call is a box that won't hold temp, usually a seized evaporator fan motor, a dirty coil choking airflow, or an iced coil from a stuck defrost. Labor starts around $250 plus the part, quoted in writing first.
- Door gaskets that quit sealing. A torn True gasket runs the compressor nonstop and ices the coil. It's one of the cheapest fixes on the truck, and doing it on time saves the expensive part later.
- Sealed-system and leak repair. Older True units eventually open a line. We do recovery, a proper vacuum, and weigh-in in-house under EPA #1279674151528, and we're R290 trained for the newer self-contained boxes. Full rebuilds run up to $4000 with a two-year warranty.
