True in San Bruno
True refrigeration in San Bruno.
San Bruno sits right under the SFO flight path, and a good share of its commercial kitchens are built around that traffic. Airport-area hotel bars and restaurants run True back-bar coolers and reach-ins through long hours serving travelers, and the older diners and taquerias along San Bruno Avenue and El Camino keep prep tables going through the lunch crowd.
A lot of San Bruno's commercial buildings date to the 1940s through the 60s, and the electrical service in some of them was never sized for a modern compressor's start-up draw. When a True unit trips a breaker, I check the start relay and run capacitor on the compressor and the condition of the circuit itself before I assume the compressor is bad.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Back-bar coolers running warm at hotel bars. A True back-bar cooler that won't hold temp behind a hotel bar usually comes down to a torn door gasket or a dirty condenser fighting the extra heat off the bar equipment around it. We check both and clean the coil as part of the visit.
- Reach-ins tripping breakers. On older San Bruno buildings, a reach-in that trips the breaker on start-up isn't always the compressor. We test the start relay, the run capacitor, and the circuit load itself, so we're not replacing a good compressor for a bad relay.
- 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 #1279674151528, and we're R290 trained for the newer hydrocarbon units.
