SAFEGUARDING EQUIPMENT AFTER INSTALLATION
When providing kitchen ventilation products for a commercial space, the
responsibilities of a trustworthy supplier do not end after the sale is made
or products are delivered and installed. As part of its total package of
products and services, a dependable manufacturer has a dedicated aftermarket
service program with factory authorized servicers to ensure products are
installed and functioning properly. As a leading commercial kitchen
ventilation solution provider, the Accurex Aftermarket Certification
Program was created to ensure kitchen ventilation equipment operates at peak
performance after installation. This program provides on-site inspections of
all Accurex kitchen ventilation equipment through its nationwide network of
qualified technicians, certifying that equipment has been installed and
properly commissioned according to the manufacturer’s requirements

General Parts capabilities include equipment installation and repair, planned maintenance programs and original equipment manufacturer (O.E.M.) parts distribution. “Some of our best attributes include our consistency of service and trustworthiness in the industry,” states Gary.
The Accurex Way
Accurex developed the aftermarket certification program to ensure exceptional service and support is carried through beyond the sale. A main goal of the program is for end users to feel confident in the operation of their equipment with the purpose of becoming life-long customers. “Accurex is focused on supporting us and the needs of the customer. Whenever we need their help, need a part, tech support or training, Accurex is extremely responsive and satisfies each request,” Gary states. He goes on to say, “Not enough manufacturers offer an aftermarket program. It’s a smart way to do business.” The Accurex program offers a higher level of customer care that sets them apart from others in the industry. “They don’t just want to make the sale and have the customer go away. They want to take care of the customer. And so do we. There’s no better time to go meet a customer then when everything is running properly.”
