When a chiller goes down, it usually takes a whole operation with it — a brewery loses fermentation control, a food processor loses a production line, a data center starts overheating, a large building loses its cooling. Accutemp Services provides commercial chiller repair, service, and preventive maintenance across Northern Colorado for air-cooled, water-cooled, and glycol chiller systems. Our technicians are trained on the refrigerant circuits, chilled-water loops, and controls these high-value systems run on, and our 24/7/365 dispatch treats a failed chiller as the production emergency it is.
Chillers are among the most complex mechanical systems in any commercial or industrial facility. Unlike a packaged rooftop unit, a chiller couples a full refrigeration circuit (compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion device) to a chilled-water or glycol loop that carries cooling out to where it's needed — air handlers, process equipment, fermentation tanks, jacketed vessels, or precision-cooling units. A failure can originate on the refrigerant side, the water/glycol side, the controls, or the flow components, and pinpointing which requires a technician who understands the whole system. Accutemp's chiller techs diagnose at the system level instead of swapping parts and hoping.
We service the chiller types that run Northern Colorado operations: air-cooled chillers (the most common for breweries and mid-size buildings), water-cooled chillers paired with cooling towers (larger facilities and process loads), and glycol chillers built for low-temperature and freeze-protected applications. We work across scroll, screw, and reciprocating compressor platforms from manufacturers like Trane, Carrier, York, Daikin/McQuay, Multistack, and Aermec, as well as the packaged glycol chillers from process-cooling brands (Pro Refrigeration, G&D, and similar) that brewery and food clients rely on. Common repairs include low-refrigerant and leak diagnosis, fouled condenser and evaporator service, compressor failure, flow and pump problems, freeze faults, scaling and water-treatment issues, and control/sensor troubleshooting.
Glycol and process chillers are a particular strength because they sit right at the intersection of our HVAC and commercial-refrigeration expertise. Northern Colorado's brewery and distillery scene runs on glycol — chilling fermentation, cold-crashing tanks, and protecting product through tight temperature bands — and food processors run process loops that can't drift. We handle glycol concentration and freeze-point issues, pump and flow troubleshooting, plate-and-frame heat exchanger service, and the refrigeration-circuit work underneath, so the same vendor that keeps your walk-ins and HVAC running can keep your process cooling online too.
Because chillers are high-value, high-consequence equipment, the real money is in preventing the failure, not just fixing it. Our preventive maintenance for chillers includes refrigerant-charge and superheat/subcooling verification, condenser and tube cleaning, water treatment and glycol testing, flow and pump checks, electrical and control inspection, and combustion-free efficiency tuning of the refrigeration circuit. Proper maintenance protects efficiency (a fouled condenser quietly inflates energy cost long before it causes a hard failure) and extends the life of a system that's expensive to replace. For facilities where downtime is unacceptable, we build the PM schedule around your production calendar.

Our Process
Emergency Dispatch
A down chiller is a production emergency — our 24/7/365 line dispatches a chiller technician fast across our Northern Colorado service area
System-Level Diagnosis
We evaluate the refrigerant circuit, the water/glycol loop, flow components, and controls together to find the true cause, not just the symptom
Expert Repair
Our technicians repair using manufacturer-approved procedures and quality components, with common parts sourced fast through our distributor relationships
Performance Verification
We verify charge, superheat/subcooling, flow, and leaving-water temperature so the system holds its setpoint under real load before we leave
