    Anyone every use a kegerator repair service in the Boston area? I'm constantly struggling with my system. The final straw is when for some reason it started leaking from inside the tower down into the fridge unit. WTF! Need help, can't waste time constantly addressing these issues at the moment. All I can find online are some generic service companies that may or may not actually specialize in this work.

    (I found a similarly-titled thread from 2017 but no one actually posted any service companies.)

    I really don't like being a bearer of bad news, but, I've never heard of a "kegerator repairman" for hire. Generally speaking, all maintenance is done by the owner, especially all aspects outside the mechanical refrigeration unit. That said, there isn't anything particularly complicated...mostly all npt fitting, barbs ,or hose clamps and generic o-rings/gaskets.

    If you lack these skills try and enlist the help of any plumber. I would guess it's more likely to get someone to do the work as a side job, rather than through a company. Offer something like 40-50 bucks/hour and they should come out of the woodwork (which is still cheaper than a normal service call).

    That's too bad because they could have made a nice living working my kegerator!

    They only handle commercial customers, but try an email over to Modern Draught, worst case they could at least give you some more troubleshooting tips, best case maybe they could fit you into their schedule.

    Is it beer that is leaking, or could it be condensation?

    No, it's definitely beer!
