Why True Refrigeration Stands Out from the Competition

True vs The Competition

It Has 70 Years of Experience

True Manufacturing has been in business for more than 70 years. Over the decades, the folks there have refined their equipment to provide solutions to issues that are most important to restaurant operators. They've also built a vast distribution and service network that means parts and service are never far away when you need them.

It's A Proven Industry Leader

True Manufacturing has been voted Best in Class for the Foodservice Equipment and Supply awards in three refrigeration categories for 14 years running. Some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, the winners are decided on by operators, dealers, and consultants with real-world experience using, selling, and servicing the machines. See the testimonial letter to the right to see for yourself what dealers have to say about working with True.

True Refrigerators are Built for Business

True machines are known for their "oversized and balanced" designs. That simply means their compressors – among the largest in the industry – are built for demanding applications. Their evaporator coils have 20 to 40 percent greater surface area than the industry average, meaning they can cool efficiently with responsive recovery and quick pull-down times. The implication of those thoughtful design features is that units such as the popular True T-49 don't struggle to keep up in high-volume restaurants.

True Equipment is Built with Heavy-duty Components

The fan motor is a vital part on any commercial refrigerator. Along with the compressor motor, it sees some of the most wear and tear of all components. These commercial refrigerators' low-velocity fans gently circulate large volumes of air around the evaporator tubes, creating even temperatures throughout. True fan motors are completely sealed and filled with oil, meaning they never require lubrication and should continue to run smoothly for the entirety of their typical 15- to 20-year lifespans. See the image below and compare True's fan assembly to its competitors', which are open and exposed to dirt and grime from the environment. That can severely limit the performance of the machine, require a much busier maintenance schedule, and shorten the component's lifetime.

Every Single Unit Undergoes Rigorous Testing

True tests every single piece of equipment it produces for at least 4 hours. Quality assurance testers run-test every freezer for at least 16 hours. This process ensures every unit performs exactly as expected, so when you buy True refrigeration, you know it will work soundly as soon as it's plugged in.

True Offers an Industry-leading 7-Year Warranty

True provides an impressive 7-year warranty that covers parts and labor for the entire unit against defects in material or workmanship. True's leadership is so confident in their products they stand behind these kitchen-crucial items with this phenomenal coverage. And that warranty is available an almost every True unit, from bottle coolers to reach-in freezers.
