"Accutemp always went above and beyond for our business. They stocked our crucial parts and if we needed them the same day, they were there."
Protect your inventory and maintain food safety compliance with Accutemp's commercial refrigeration services. We repair, install, and maintain walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, reach-in units, display cases, and ice machines for restaurants, grocery stores, and food distribution facilities across Northern Colorado.
Commercial refrigeration failures are among the most costly equipment emergencies a business can face. A single walk-in cooler breakdown can result in thousands of dollars in spoiled inventory, health code violations, and lost revenue from temporarily closing operations. Accutemp Services treats every refrigeration call as an emergency because we understand what's at stake for your business.
Our refrigeration technicians are EPA Section 608 certified and experienced with all major commercial refrigeration systems. We service walk-in coolers and freezers from manufacturers like Bohn, Heatcraft, Hussmann, and Tyler, as well as reach-in units from True, Traulsen, Continental, and Beverage-Air. Whether you need a compressor replacement, evaporator coil repair, or a complete refrigeration system installation, our team delivers expert service with minimal disruption to your operations.
Temperature monitoring is critical for food safety compliance and inventory protection. Accutemp installs and configures digital temperature monitoring systems that provide real-time alerts when temperatures drift outside safe ranges. These systems can send notifications directly to your phone, allowing you to take action before product loss occurs. For businesses that must maintain HACCP compliance or meet health department requirements, our monitoring solutions provide documented temperature records for audit purposes.
Refrigerant management is becoming increasingly important as environmental regulations evolve. Our technicians are trained in proper refrigerant handling, leak detection, and system charging for both traditional and next-generation refrigerants. We help businesses plan transitions away from phased-out refrigerants while maintaining system performance and regulatory compliance.

Our Process
1
Emergency Response
Refrigeration failures are treated as top-priority emergencies — we dispatch immediately to protect your inventory and minimize product loss
2
Temperature Assessment
We check current temperatures, assess product condition, and identify the root cause of the failure using specialized diagnostic equipment
3
Rapid Repair
With common refrigeration parts stocked on our service vehicles, most repairs are completed on the first visit to restore safe temperatures quickly
4
Verification & Monitoring
We verify the system reaches and maintains target temperatures, and recommend monitoring solutions to prevent future losses
Frequently Asked Questions
We treat refrigeration failures as the highest-priority emergencies. Expect a technician on-site within 30–60 minutes across our Northern Colorado service area. Our dispatch team will also guide you through immediate steps to protect your inventory while the technician is en route.
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. We provide a transparent estimate before any work begins, and the 30-day labor warranty covers every repair.
Yes. All our technicians are EPA Section 608 certified for proper refrigerant handling, recovery, and disposal. We maintain detailed records of all refrigerant transactions for your compliance documentation and can help you plan transitions to approved alternative refrigerants like R-448A and R-449A as older refrigerants phase out.
Yes. Restaurants and grocery stores make up the majority of our refrigeration clients across Northern Colorado. We service walk-in coolers and freezers from Heatcraft, Hussmann, Bohn, Tyler, and Master-Bilt, plus integrated refrigeration systems for grocery operators with multiple cases and rack systems on a single circuit.
Most prep table issues — failing thermostats, compressor problems, drain blockages, gasket failures — are routine repairs that cost a fraction of replacement. We diagnose the failure, give you a clear repair-vs-replace recommendation, and only suggest replacement when the unit's age or condition makes ongoing repair uneconomical.
Yes. We install digital monitoring systems that provide continuous temperature tracking and real-time alerts via phone, email, or text when temperatures exceed safe thresholds. These systems also generate automated reports for health department inspections and HACCP compliance.
We recommend quarterly preventive maintenance for walk-in coolers and freezers, which includes condenser coil cleaning, evaporator inspection, door gasket checks, drain line clearing, and refrigerant level verification. Regular maintenance can prevent up to 80% of common refrigeration failures.
Common warning signs include unusual noises from the compressor, ice buildup on evaporator coils, inconsistent temperatures, the unit running continuously without cycling off, water leaks, and higher-than-normal energy bills. If you notice any of these, call us before a complete failure occurs.
The single most common cause is dirty condenser coils — they restrict airflow, force the compressor to run hotter, and shorten compressor life. Door gasket failures are second, allowing warm humid air in and forcing the system to overwork. Both are preventable with quarterly maintenance and account for the majority of emergency calls we get.
Yes. Grocery refrigeration rack systems require specialized expertise — multiple display cases and walk-ins share a single condensing rack, so a single failure can affect inventory across the whole store. Our technicians are trained on rack systems from Hussmann, Heatcraft, and Hill Phoenix, including parallel compressors, EPR valves, and case controllers.
