Sub-Zero Refrigeration Repair · San Bruno, CA

San Bruno's housing stock is mostly 1940s to 1960s tract construction, small original kitchens near the flats and around the SFO flight path, where a full-size built-in never really fit. The Sub-Zero work I get called for comes out of the Rollingwood and Crestmoor hillside pockets, where remodels over the years opened the kitchen enough for a Classic or 700 series column behind custom panels, usually paired with a Wolf or Thermador range.

On the built-ins in this age range, which run 10 to 20 years old, I see two failures most often. Cabinet panels fit tight around the unit choke off the toe-kick grille, so the condenser coil cakes up behind it, the compressor runs long, and the fresh-food side drifts warm. On older hillside homes where the foundation has settled a bit over the decades, I also see integrated column doors go out of alignment, which breaks the gasket seal even though nothing inside the unit is actually broken. Our technician for San Bruno lives in San Mateo, about 10 to 15 minutes north, so response here is fast compared to a San Ramon dispatch.
