Accurex is a commercial kitchen ventilation manufacturer based in Schofield, Wisconsin, and a brand within the Greenheck Group - a privately held, family-owned organization with more than 75 years in the air movement and control industry. Accurex focuses specifically on commercial kitchen applications, offering exhaust hoods, exhaust fans, and make-up air systems for professional foodservice environments.

As part of the Greenheck Group, Accurex operates within one of the most established ventilation manufacturing organizations in the United States, with a national distribution and sales network, domestic manufacturing capabilities, and a track record of serving commercial buildings including kitchens, schools, hospitals, and other institutional facilities.

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION

1. Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hoods
Accurex designs and manufactures exhaust hood systems for commercial kitchen environments - including Type I hoods for grease-laden applications (over fryers, ranges, griddles) and Type II hoods for heat and moisture removal.

2. Exhaust Fans
The company produces commercial-grade exhaust fans engineered for the demands of professional kitchen environments, including high-temperature and grease-handling applications.

3. Make-Up Air Systems
Accurex's make-up air units replace the air exhausted from commercial kitchens, maintaining proper pressure balance, improving comfort for kitchen staff, and supporting code compliance requirements.

4. Integrated Ventilation Solutions
Beyond individual components, Accurex provides integrated ventilation systems engineered to balance exhaust and supply air for commercial kitchen projects, supporting proper operation, energy efficiency, and building code compliance.

BEST FIT FOR

- Foodservice design consultants and mechanical engineers specifying ventilation systems for new commercial kitchen construction or renovation projects.
- Foodservice equipment dealers and contractors who handle full kitchen installations and need a reliable ventilation manufacturer with commercial kitchen expertise.
- Operators building or upgrading commercial kitchens who need exhaust and make-up air systems that meet local code requirements and support kitchen performance.
- Institutional projects (schools, hospitals, universities, government facilities) that require ventilation equipment from an established domestic manufacturer.

NOT THE BEST FIT FOR

- Buyers looking for general HVAC equipment outside of commercial kitchen applications. Accurex is specifically focused on commercial kitchen ventilation; broader building HVAC needs are served by other Greenheck Group brands.
- Residential kitchen projects. Accurex products are engineered for commercial-grade applications and are not targeted at residential consumers.
- Projects requiring a full-line equipment manufacturer across multiple kitchen categories. Accurex specializes in ventilation only; cooking, refrigeration, and other equipment categories require separate manufacturer relationships.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What does Accurex make?
A: Accurex manufactures commercial kitchen ventilation equipment - specifically exhaust hoods, exhaust fans, and make-up air systems designed for professional foodservice environments.

Q: Who owns Accurex?
A: Accurex is a brand within the Greenheck Group, a privately held, family-owned organization headquartered in Schofield, Wisconsin, with more than 75 years in the air movement and control industry.

Q: What is the difference between Type I and Type II hoods?
A: Type I hoods are designed for grease-laden cooking equipment (ranges, fryers, griddles, woks) and include grease filtration and fire suppression provisions. Type II hoods are used over equipment that produces heat and moisture but not grease (dishwashers, steamers, ovens without open flames). Local codes dictate which type is required for a given application.

Q: What is a make-up air system?
A: A make-up air (MUA) unit supplies outdoor air to replace the air exhausted from the kitchen by exhaust hoods and fans. Proper make-up air balance is essential for efficient hood operation, maintaining comfortable working conditions, and meeting building codes. Undersupplying make-up air can reduce hood performance and create negative pressure.

Q: Is Accurex available through dealers and rep groups?
A: Yes. Accurex products are available through commercial kitchen equipment dealers, foodservice design consultants, and manufacturer rep groups. Direct Procurement Services can support sourcing inquiries for Accurex ventilation products.
