Does the salt air really matter that much?

Yes. I see Traulsen condensers in Pacifica corrode noticeably faster than the same unit a few miles inland. More frequent coil cleaning is the cheapest way to slow it down, and we tell you when a coil is past cleaning and needs replacing.

How quickly can you get here from the Peninsula?

Our technician is based in San Mateo, so Pacifica is a shorter drive than it would be from our San Ramon shop. We don't promise same-day, but you get a straight arrival window when you book.

What does a service call cost?

$99 for the diagnostic, credited toward the repair. We quote the job in writing before any work starts.

Traulsen in Pacifica

Traulsen refrigeration in Pacifica.

Pacifica sits right on the coast, and the salt air here is not a small thing for a Traulsen cabinet. I've opened condensers in Pacifica that show more corrosion at ten years than a unit further inland shows at twenty. The restaurants along Highway 1 and around Rockaway Beach run reach-ins and prep tables that need their coils cleaned and checked more often than kitchens set back from the water, or the fins corrode through and start leaking.

We look at the condenser coil first on every Pacifica call. Salt residue plus grease eats through aluminum fins faster than either one alone. Diagnosis is $99, credited toward the repair, and we give you a written quote so you know what you're fixing and why.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Condenser coil fins corroding from salt air. Salt air pits and eats through the thin aluminum fins on a Traulsen condenser faster near the coast than anywhere else we work. Once enough fin surface is gone, the compressor runs hot and long. We clean what we can save and replace the coil when the corrosion has gone past that point.
Rusted hinge and a gasket that won't seal. Door hinges and gasket retainers on coastal units rust and bind faster than inland, and a hinge that's stiff from rust stops holding the door tight at the corners. We rebuild or replace the hinge hardware and fit a new gasket so the door seals square again.
Pinhole leak at a corroded evaporator coil. On an older Traulsen reach-in near the water, I've traced slow refrigerant loss back to a pinhole where salt-laden moisture worked through the coil over the years. That's a sealed-system repair we handle in-house, recovery, evacuation, and weigh-in, under EPA #1279674151528.
