When your walk-in goes down at 2 AM or your display case quits during Texas summer heat, you need a tech who answers the phone and knows the difference between a TXV failure and a low refrigerant charge. We've been running emergency calls across DFW since 1960.
Response within 2 hours. Emergency calls dispatched immediately.
Since 1960, Texas businesses have called Almcoe when they need commercial refrigeration done right the first time.
We run three rotating emergency crews covering the entire DFW metroplex. When your compressor seizes at a Deep Ellum restaurant at midnight or your ice machine floods a Sundance Square bar during Sunday brunch, you get a senior tech with a fully stocked van, not an answering service. Our after-hours rate is $185 per hour plus parts, no four-hour minimums or price gouging during emergencies.
Walk-in coolers and freezers losing temperature. Reach-in units running constantly in 105°F Texas heat. Display case compressors short-cycling. Ice machines down during peak service (DFW hard water kills evaporators fast). Refrigerant leaks in R-404A and newer R-448A, R-449A, R-454C systems. We carry NIBMs, contactors, TXVs, driers, relays, and condensing unit parts on every truck for same-visit repairs.
Every technician carries EPA Universal 608 certification and Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation credentials. We pull permits when code requires it, document refrigerant recovery per federal mandate, and warranty our emergency repairs the same as scheduled service. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews comes from restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and commercial kitchens who've called us at 3 AM and had cold air by sunrise.
“Compressor failed Saturday night, they had a tech at our Uptown location in under an hour. Back online before morning prep.”
“Ice machine flooded our Legacy West bar during peak Friday service. Almcoe diagnosed a failed float switch and had us making ice in 90 minutes.”
“Called them at 2 AM when our walk-in hit 55°F with $8,000 in product inside. Tech found a bad run capacitor, replaced it on the spot.”
We dispatch emergency technicians around the clock for any commercial refrigeration failure: walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in units, prep tables, display cases, ice machines, and condensing units. Whether it's a failed compressor, refrigerant leak, control board issue, or frozen evaporator coil, we carry diagnostic tools and common parts on every truck. Our coverage area includes all of Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco, and surrounding DFW counties.
Our average response time is 90 minutes across the DFW metroplex. We position three emergency crews strategically, so whether you're in the Stockyards, Bishop Arts District, or The Star in Frisco, you get a qualified tech fast. We give you an accurate ETA when you call, and our technician contacts you 15 minutes out. No answering services, no callback delays. You speak directly to our dispatch, and we roll immediately.
Our after-hours labor rate is $185 per hour, billed in half-hour increments after the first hour. There's a one-hour minimum, no trip charges, and no inflated holiday pricing. Parts are billed at our standard commercial rate plus 15%. If we quote $340 for a compressor contactor and one hour of labor at 3 AM, that's your total. Most emergency repairs run $400 to $900 depending on the failure. We give you the price before we start the work.
We service all major commercial refrigeration manufacturers: True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Hussmann, Hill Phoenix, Master-Bilt, and Kolpak. Our trucks carry parts for the most common models: TXVs, contactors, run capacitors, relays, thermostats, and driers. For proprietary control boards or specialized compressors, we'll source the part and return same-day or next-day if it's in a Dallas distributor warehouse.
Yes. We dispatch across the entire DFW metroplex: Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco, Carrollton, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, and all surrounding cities. We've been running emergency calls to Deep Ellum bars, Las Colinas corporate cafeterias, West 7th restaurants, and Entertainment District venues since 1960. If you're within the metro area, we'll get a technician to you, typically within 90 minutes of your call.
Yes. In Texas summer heat, a failing walk-in can go from 38°F to 55°F in under three hours, especially if the condensing unit is in direct sun or the evaporator coil has frozen over. The faster we diagnose the problem, the better chance we have of saving your product and avoiding a $5,000+ food loss. Don't wait until morning. We answer 24/7 at (214) 949-8674, and we'd rather catch a simple fix at midnight than replace spoiled inventory at sunrise.
