Working in Ontario
Two States, One Service Area
The Ontario area straddles the Snake River, so the paperwork depends on which side your building is on.
Ontario, Nyssa and Vale are in Malheur County, Oregon. Work there is done under our Oregon CCB license, #261314.
Fruitland and Payette are across the Snake River in Payette County, Idaho, and are covered by our Idaho contractor registration, RCE-2271394.
Ontario sits on I-84 right at the Idaho line, about an hour west of our Meridian base, and runs on Mountain Time like Boise, so our office hours match yours.
Agriculture drives the local economy, so cold storage, packing and food processing space is common alongside the restaurants, grocers and hotels near the freeway.
24/7 Calls and Emergency Dispatch
We answer the phone around the clock. Walk-in, freezer and other refrigeration-down calls get priority dispatch, and because Ontario is about an hour from our base, we give you an honest arrival time on the call instead of a guess.

FAQ
Ontario & Payette Commercial Service Questions
Common questions from businesses in Malheur County, Oregon and Payette County, Idaho
Are you licensed to work in Oregon?
Yes. We hold Oregon CCB #261314 (Commercial Specialty Contractor Level 2), Oregon CRE366 and Oregon LHR748, and we carry $2M in general liability insurance. On the Idaho side of the river (Fruitland and Payette) we work under Idaho contractor registration RCE-2271394. Certificates of insurance are available on request.
Do you really come out to Ontario, Nyssa and Vale?
Yes. We serve Ontario, Nyssa, Vale and the rest of Malheur County, Oregon, plus Fruitland and Payette in Payette County, Idaho. Ontario is about an hour west of our Meridian base on I-84, so when you call we tell you plainly when a technician can be there.
What should I do if a walk-in cooler or freezer fails in Ontario?
Call (208) 477-1897 any time, day or night; we answer 24/7 and refrigeration-down calls get priority dispatch. While you wait, keep the door closed, move the most temperature-sensitive product to working refrigeration, and check that the condensing unit outside isn't blocked by snow, weeds or debris.
Can you bid Oregon public work, like county or school district projects?
Yes. Public agencies, school districts and general contractors in Malheur County can send bid invitations, prequalification forms or certificate-of-insurance requests to contact@meridiancool.com. Our Oregon CCB number, Idaho Public Works license, insurance details and SAM.gov registration are listed in our bids section.
Do you offer maintenance plans for businesses in Ontario and Payette?
Yes. Commercial maintenance covers filter changes, coil cleaning, belts, an electrical check and a refrigerant leak check, priced as a custom contract for your equipment. Plan customers also get priority dispatch, which matters more the farther you are from Boise.
