True Residential Built In Refrigerators

True Residential Built-In Refrigerators at Plesser's Appliances

True Residential built-in refrigerators, available at Plesser's Appliances, are designed to sit flush within cabinetry and finish a kitchen as a permanent part of the millwork. Hand-built in St. Louis, Missouri, each unit pairs commercial-grade refrigeration with front-venting construction and made-to-order finishes, so the installation reads as cabinetry rather than an appliance set into an opening.

Front-Venting Design for Flush Installation
True built-in units vent through the front grille rather than the back or sides, which allows the cabinet to be surrounded by finished panels and counter without compromising airflow. That is what makes a genuine zero-clearance installation possible. Front-grille clearance still has to be maintained, so confirm cutout dimensions against the spec sheet for your model before framing.

Forced-Air Cooling in a Confined Cabinet
A built-in installation restricts airflow around the unit, which is exactly where commercial-grade refrigeration earns its keep. True's forced-air system circulates high-velocity air through the cabinet to hold a steady setpoint and recover quickly after each door opening, even with the compressor working inside an enclosed space. Performance does not degrade because the unit is boxed in.

Panel-Ready and Custom Finish Options
Because a built-in unit is visible as part of the cabinetry, finish is a design decision rather than an afterthought. True offers standard and custom colors, panel-ready configurations on select models, and hardware in stainless steel, matte black, brushed bronze, chrome, and antique brass. Every unit is finished to order, so finish and hardware should be settled during cabinetry design.

Sapphire Blue LED Lighting and Interior Organization
True's sapphire blue LED lighting illuminates the interior evenly without adding heat, with a white option on many models. Heavy-duty glass shelving and full-extension racking keep the back of a deep cabinet usable. In a built-in setting, the lit interior becomes part of the room's finished appearance.

Specification and Installation Planning
Built-in units require a framed opening, a dedicated circuit, and in some configurations a water line for ice production. Solid brass hinges, commercial-grade door gaskets, and True's professional cabinet construction carry across the lineup.
