True Residential Column Refrigerators

True Residential Column Refrigerators at Plesser's Appliances

True Residential column refrigerators, available at Plesser's Appliances, are full-height dedicated refrigeration units built to be specified alongside True freezer columns as part of a continuous cabinetry run. Hand-built in St. Louis, Missouri, each column pairs commercial-grade refrigeration with made-to-order colors and hardware, letting a kitchen be laid out around independent zones rather than a single combined appliance.

Full-Height Dedicated Refrigeration
A column refrigerator devotes an entire full-height cabinet to fresh food, with no freezer compartment sharing space or airflow. Capacity is not divided, and the cabinet runs at a single optimal setpoint without a freezer section influencing it. For households that shop in volume or cook seriously, undivided fresh food capacity is the practical case for a column.

Pairing with True Freezer Columns
Refrigeration and freezer columns are designed to install adjacent to one another, side by side or separated across a kitchen layout. Because each has its own refrigeration system and controls, both zones operate independently at their own settings. Specified in matching finish and hardware, the pair reads as one continuous run of cabinetry rather than two appliances placed next to each other.

Forced-Air Cooling Top to Bottom
True's forced-air system circulates high-velocity air through the full height of the cabinet, holding a consistent setpoint from the top shelf to the bottom drawer and recovering quickly after the door is opened. In a tall cabinet, temperature stratification is the failure mode to avoid — this is the system that prevents it. Humidity is managed independently of temperature.

Panel-Ready and Custom Finish Options
True offers standard and custom colors with hardware in stainless steel, matte black, brushed bronze, chrome, and antique brass, plus panel-ready configurations on select models for full cabinetry integration. Every unit is finished to order. Because columns are specified during cabinetry design rather than dropped into an existing opening, these decisions should be settled early.

Specification and Installation Planning
Column refrigerators are built-in units requiring a framed opening, a dedicated circuit, and in some configurations a water line. Solid brass hinges, commercial-grade door gaskets, and cabinet construction carried over from True's professional equipment are what allow these units to run reliably under daily household use.
