Commercial-only AC repair for rooftop units, packaged systems, and split systems across Northern Colorado. 24/7/365 emergency dispatch, 30-day labor warranty, no residential — we focus exclusively on commercial cooling.
Accutemp Services is a commercial-only AC repair specialist serving Northern Colorado restaurants, retail buildings, offices, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Unlike residential-leaning HVAC companies, we work exclusively with commercial cooling systems — rooftop units (RTUs), packaged systems, and commercial split systems — which means our technicians, parts inventory, and dispatch are built around the equipment that runs your business, not the equipment in someone's house.
Commercial AC systems are different from residential systems in almost every meaningful way: larger capacity, higher voltage, more complex controls, more demanding operating conditions, and far more expensive failure modes. A residential HVAC technician dropped onto a commercial rooftop unit will struggle with the controls, the safety circuits, the staged operation, and the diagnostic procedures that experienced commercial techs use every day. Accutemp's commercial-only focus means every technician we send is trained on the equipment that actually runs Northern Colorado businesses.
We service commercial AC systems from all major manufacturers — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Daikin, Goodman commercial line, and Rheem commercial — across rooftop units, split systems, packaged units, and VRF (variable refrigerant flow) systems. Common repairs include compressor replacement, refrigerant leak detection and recharge, blower motor and belt replacement, condenser fan motor service, contactor and capacitor replacement, control board diagnosis, and full system rebuilds. We carry the most common commercial parts on our service vehicles, which means most repairs are completed on the first visit instead of waiting days for parts orders.
Rooftop units (RTUs) are the workhorse of Northern Colorado commercial cooling. They're exposed to extreme conditions — high-altitude UV, hailstorms, wind-driven debris, temperature swings from -20°F to 100°F across the year — that wear them down faster than equipment in milder climates. Accutemp's commercial RTU service includes hail damage assessment, weather-related sealing repairs, and high-altitude calibration that most generalist HVAC companies don't bother with. We service single RTUs, multi-unit installations, and integrated rooftop systems with sophisticated controls.
The competitive landscape for commercial AC repair in Northern Colorado is dominated by residential-leaning generalists — companies that handle commercial work as a side line but specialize in homeowner HVAC. The result is uneven service quality: residential techs don't carry commercial parts, don't know commercial control systems, and don't prioritize commercial response times. Accutemp's commercial-only positioning means commercial AC repair is our actual specialty, not an afterthought. When your business needs cooling restored, you get a team that does this every day.

Our Process
1
Commercial-Trained Dispatch
When your commercial AC fails, you reach a dispatch team that prioritizes business cooling — typically a technician on-site within 30–60 minutes across our service area
2
Commercial Diagnostic Process
Our technicians follow commercial-specific diagnostic procedures, checking high-voltage controls, staged operation, safety circuits, and refrigerant charge with the right tools for commercial equipment
3
First-Visit Resolution
Service vehicles stocked with common commercial parts — contactors, capacitors, fan motors, control boards — let us complete most repairs on the first visit without waiting on parts orders
4
Commercial Performance Verification
Before we leave, we verify cooling capacity, check airflow at registers, confirm safety circuit operation, and document the repair for facility records
Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial AC systems run higher voltage (typically 208/230/480V three-phase vs. residential 240V single-phase), handle 5–50+ ton capacities (vs. 1.5–5 ton residential), use staged or VRF operation, and have dramatically more complex controls and safety circuits. Commercial techs need different tools, different training, different parts inventory, and different diagnostic procedures. Generalist HVAC companies handle commercial work less well than specialists like us who do it every day.
Expect a technician on-site within 30–60 minutes across our Northern Colorado service area. Our 24/7/365 dispatch routes commercial AC failures with high priority because we know what it costs your business when offices, restaurants, retail spaces, or warehouses lose cooling. There's no after-hours premium for commercial emergency calls.
Service calls start at $145 per hour with a 1.5-hour minimum (so the floor for any visit is $217.50). Parts are billed separately at standard markup and backed by the manufacturer's parts warranty. Major work involving compressor replacement or full rooftop unit replacement is quoted in advance. We provide an itemized estimate before work begins, and the 30-day labor warranty covers every repair.
We service all major commercial AC manufacturers — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Daikin, Goodman commercial line, Rheem commercial, and others. Our technicians are factory-trained on these systems, and we maintain relationships with major commercial parts distributors for fast access to replacement components, even on older or rare equipment.
Yes — RTUs are the most common commercial AC system in Northern Colorado, and they're a specialty. We service single-RTU installations, multi-unit setups, and integrated rooftop systems with building automation. We also handle the weather-related issues unique to Front Range RTUs: hail damage, high-altitude calibration, wind-driven debris cleanup, and weather sealing.
Yes. Beyond RTUs and packaged units, we service commercial split systems (with separate condensing units and air handlers) and VRF (variable refrigerant flow) systems used in modern office buildings, hotels, and retail. VRF in particular requires specialized training that most residential-focused HVAC companies don't have.
Front Range conditions are brutal on commercial AC: extreme temperature swings (often 50°F+ between day and night), high-altitude UV that degrades electrical components and refrigerant lines, hail damage to outdoor coils, and dry air that creates static issues with controls. Commercial systems serving restaurants and retail also run far more hours per year than residential, accelerating wear. Regular PM is the difference between 12-year and 20-year equipment life.
Generally, if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, or if the unit is over 15 years old with declining efficiency, replacement is the better long-term investment. Modern commercial AC systems are 30–50% more efficient than 15-year-old equipment, often paying for themselves in 5–8 years through utility savings. We provide honest assessments comparing repair costs against new-equipment ROI.
Yes. Our PM contracts include scheduled inspections, coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, electrical connection tightening, belt and bearing service, and seasonal startup/shutdown. PM clients receive priority dispatch and the 30-day labor warranty on every repair. Commercial AC PM typically reduces emergency repair costs by 40–70% and extends equipment life significantly.
Yes. We dispatch from Northern Colorado and serve the entire Front Range — Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Windsor, Timnath, Berthoud, the Denver metro area, and surrounding cities. Northern Colorado service calls typically reach the customer within 30–60 minutes; Denver metro and southern coverage areas typically run 30–120 minutes depending on distance and traffic.
