True refrigeration in Woodside.
Woodside doesn't have a commercial strip, and the True equipment we find here isn't behind a restaurant line. It's built into big estate kitchens and the pool house or barn wings some of the horse properties keep for entertaining, wine columns, undercounter refrigerator drawers, and beverage centers set into custom cabinetry rather than a stainless reach-in on a kitchen floor.
Built-in refrigeration lives or dies on how it was installed, and the most common thing that goes wrong in a Woodside kitchen isn't the True unit itself but the cabinetry around it, a vent panel too small or blocked by a drawer, starving the compressor of airflow until it runs hot and trips out. We check clearance first, then the unit. Our technician on this route is based in San Mateo County, on the Peninsula, so a Woodside property gets a local response instead of a drive from San Ramon, and the diagnostic runs $99, credited toward the repair, with a written quote before anything gets opened up.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Wine columns overheating from blocked cabinet vents. A True Residential wine column set into a wet bar or wine room runs its compressor hot when the cabinet's vent panel is undersized or gets blocked by something stored in front of it, and the unit trips on high head pressure before it ever gets a chance to hold temperature. We check the airflow path first and tell the homeowner if the cabinetry needs a bigger cutout, before we touch the compressor.
- Undercounter drawers losing their seal. The undercounter refrigerator drawers in a big island setup wear at the gasket and the glide track from daily use, and once the seal goes, warm air creeps in and the compressor runs longer than it should. We replace the gasket, check the glide, and confirm the drawer holds temperature closed.
- Sealed-system faults in newer builds. Newer True Residential units in these kitchens often run R290 propane rather than the older refrigerants, and a leak at a fitting shows up as a box that cools but never quite reaches setpoint. We recover the charge, find and repair the leak, pull a vacuum, and weigh in a correct recharge under EPA #1279674151528.

FAQ
True in Woodside questions, answered.
-
I don't run a restaurant. Do you still work on my kitchen's refrigeration?
Yes. Most of what we service in Woodside is True Residential equipment built into a private kitchen or wine room, wine columns and undercounter drawers, and we treat it the same as any commercial call. -
Are you authorized by True?
No. We're an independent shop, no factory relationship to claim, estate kitchen or otherwise. The one brand we hold factory training on is Manitowoc, and that's ice machines. -
How fast can you get out to a Woodside property?
Our technician for this route is based in San Mateo County, on the Peninsula, so the drive out is local, not a crossing from San Ramon. We don't promise same-day, but we'll give you a real window. Call (925) 999-4095.
