Do you cover Brisbane too, since it's right next to Daly City?

Yes. Brisbane is small enough that we treat it as part of the same run as Daly City, along with South San Francisco, San Bruno, and Pacifica close by. Same pricing and same process.

Does the fog and dampness here actually shorten how long a Follett machine lasts?

It adds wear on the exterior hardware and door seals faster than we see in inland cities, yes. It's not usually the compressor or refrigerant side that suffers first here, it's hinges, gaskets, and any exposed fasteners rusting.

How fast can you get to a Daly City call?

Our technician is based on the Peninsula, in San Mateo, so Daly City is a straightforward drive north rather than a haul down from our San Ramon office. We can't promise same-day on every call, but Daly City sits well within that technician's normal coverage area, which usually means a quicker response than a shop working entirely out of the East Bay.

Follett in Daly City

Follett refrigeration in Daly City.

Daly City's commercial strips sit tight against blocks of post-war housing, and the restaurants and delis along Mission Street and in the Westlake and Top of the Hill shopping areas run their Follett ice machines and dispensers in mechanical closets barely bigger than the equipment itself. Add in the fog that sits over this part of the Peninsula most of the year, and a Follett unit here deals with more chronic dampness than a machine in a drier inland city ever sees.

We service Follett as an independent shop, not a factory dealer, EPA 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642. Every visit runs the same way here as anywhere else we go, a $99 diagnostic that gets credited toward the repair, and a written quote before we open the cabinet. We also cover Brisbane, the small city tucked against Daly City's southeast border, on the same schedule.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Cabinet and hinge corrosion from year-round fog. Daly City sits in the fog belt most of the year, and that steady damp air corrodes exterior hinges, fasteners, and door gaskets on a Follett cabinet faster than the dry heat inland cities deal with. Once a gasket seal degrades, the cabinet loses temperature and the compressor short cycles trying to keep up. We replace the gasket and hardware together so the fix holds.
Condenser coil fouled in undersized mechanical closets. A lot of Daly City's Mission Street and Westlake storefronts were built with a mechanical closet sized for a much smaller unit than what's running today, and that cramped space combined with kitchen grease coats the condenser fins fast. Head pressure climbs and the run capacitor takes the hit. We clean the coil and check for any way to open up airflow in the space.
Auger bearing wear from steady lunch counter volume. The delis and small restaurants around Top of the Hill run a steady lunch counter pace most weekdays rather than a single dinner spike, and that constant cycling wears a Chewblet auger bearing down evenly but relatively fast. Once the bearing goes, water bypasses into the ice chute instead of freezing clean. We replace the bearing and seal as a pair.
