These are the calls we take every week from restaurants, breweries, grocers, and facilities managers across the Portland Metro area. ### Inventory on the line A warm walk-in puts thousands of dollars of product and your health-code standing at risk within hours. Every hour the box drifts is money. ### Slow or no-show service Coolers, freezers, and ice machines fail during service, not at 10 AM on a Tuesday. If nobody answers the phone at night, you're the one absorbing the loss. ### Running dry mid-shift An empty CO2 or beer gas cylinder stops soda and draft service cold. Scheduled delivery plus a backup cylinder ends that problem for good. ### Aging refrigerant, unclear options R-22 and R-404A are phasing down and nobody explains what that means for your unit. We assess age, condition, and compliance, then tell you whether to repair, retrofit, or replace. We handle all of it with **diagnosis first**, then a straight recommendation you can budget against.

Common parts ride on the truck from our Pearl District counter. 3. 3 ### Diagnose, then quote We find the actual fault, whether that is a TXV, a defrost control, a failed contactor, or low charge, and tell you what the repair costs before we do it. 4. 4 ### Repair and verify temps We complete the work, confirm the box pulls down and holds temperature, and leave notes your team can file for food-safety records. ## Not Sure If It's an Emergency?

In practice that means our techs reach CEID kitchens faster than almost anywhere else we serve, which matters when a taproom's glycol chiller drops out mid-service. Parking and loading are the real constraint in this district, not distance. Loading zones on SE Water, SE 3rd, and the numbered avenues fill up fast during lunch and dinner service, so we coordinate arrival windows with your kitchen manager and stage larger equipment for early morning or late evening when the curb is clear. For breweries and taprooms we can pair a chiller service visit with a CO2 or beer gas delivery on the same stop, which keeps one truck at the curb instead of two. ## Warehouse Conversions and Tight Urban Kitchens The Central Eastside Industrial District is full of early-20th-century warehouses converted into restaurants, breweries, distilleries, and commissary kitchens. The Pearl has a similar story with more mixed-use towers layered on top. That building stock brings recurring issues. Electrical service is often at capacity, so adding a condensing unit means a real load calculation rather than a guess. Floor drains were laid out for a different use, so walk-in drainage frequently needs rerouting. Ceiling heights vary wildly, and unconditioned back-of-house spaces push condensers to run hot in summer. We also see a lot of glycol systems here, because a single chiller serving multiple fermentation and serving tanks is the practical answer in a building where you cannot put a separate condensing unit on every vessel. We service those loops, check concentration, insulate lines, and keep pumps running through peak production.

We dispatch from the Pearl, so CEID and Buckman calls are among the fastest we run. Same-day service during business hours is typical, and our emergency line covers nights and weekends. Do you service brewery glycol chillers in this district? Yes. Glycol chiller service is one of our core offerings for the Central Eastside's breweries, taprooms, and distilleries, including concentration checks, fluid replacement, pump service, and line insulation. Can you work around loading and parking restrictions? Yes. Loading zones on SE Water, SE 3rd, and the avenues fill during service, so we schedule arrival windows with your manager and stage larger equipment early morning or late evening. Our building is a warehouse conversion. Will electrical be a problem? It can be, and that is exactly why we do a load calculation before quoting a new condensing unit. If the panel cannot carry it, we tell you before the equipment is ordered rather than after. Can gas delivery and refrigeration service happen on the same visit? Often yes. If you hold both accounts with us, we can coordinate a CO2 or beer gas drop alongside a scheduled service visit to keep one truck at your curb. Do you handle emergency repairs during dinner service? Yes. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch. If a cooler, freezer, or chiller drops mid-service, call the emergency line and we will get a technician moving. ### Still have questions?
