Almcoe Refrigeration keeps Texas cold storage warehouses operational through brutal 105°F summers and year-round demand. From DFW distribution hubs to Corpus Christi seafood facilities, we service ammonia racks, cascade systems, and compressor arrays statewide 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.
Since 1960, Almcoe has maintained cold storage facilities across Texas. We've rebuilt ammonia compressor racks in Las Colinas distribution centers, retrofitted R-22 systems to R-449A in Deep Ellum food warehouses, and responded to July midnight failures when ambient temps hit 102°F. Our technicians carry EPA 608 Universal and TDLR licensing. We know the difference between a Vilter 440 oil foaming issue and a Frick RWF II screw compressor capacity slide failure because we've diagnosed both at 3 AM in a 35°F freezer.
Texas cold storage demands ammonia or cascade configurations for large cubic footage. We service and repair Vilter, Frick, Mycom, and Howden screw compressor packages from 50 to 500+ HP. Our techs handle R-717 ammonia rack troubleshooting, CO2 cascade low-stage diagnostics, and glycol distribution loop balancing. We stock critical parts: Vilter slide valve assemblies, Frick rotor bearings, solenoid coils for 480V three-phase systems. When a compressor throws a rod or an evaporator coil develops a leak in your 40°F cooler section, we arrive with refrigerant, tools, and replacement components.
Based at 4050 Cresthill Rd in Dallas, we dispatch technicians across all Texas cold storage markets. We service pharmaceutical warehouses near Legacy West in Plano, beef and pork facilities near the Fort Worth Stockyards, produce distribution centers in the Entertainment District near Arlington, and seafood cold storage from Houston to the Gulf Coast. Our service vehicles carry nitrogen for pressure testing, micron gauges for evacuation to 500 microns, and combustible gas detectors for ammonia environments. 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews reflects our response reliability.
“Almcoe rebuilt our Frick screw compressor over a weekend so we didn't lose a full cold storage room. Techs knew the RWF rotor clearances cold.”
“Ammonia leak at 2 AM, product at risk. Almcoe was on-site in 90 minutes, isolated the rack, and had us back at temp by sunrise. Saved $40K in inventory.”
“They converted our old R-22 cascade system to R-449A and improved our capacity. No downtime, transparent pricing, and EPA compliant documentation throughout.”
We service ammonia (R-717) rack systems, CO2 cascade configurations, and large-tonnage halocarbon systems using R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, and newer R-454C blends. Equipment includes Vilter, Frick, Mycom, and Howden screw compressor packages from 50 to 500+ HP, plate evaporators, penthouse condensers, and glycol/brine secondary loop systems. We handle everything from single-compressor coolers to multi-stage freezer arrays with electronic capacity control and suction pressure regulation.
DFW metro (Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco): 2 to 4 hours typical response. Greater Texas markets including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Lubbock: 4 to 8 hours depending on tech dispatch location. We maintain 24/7/365 emergency phone coverage at (214) 949-8674. For ammonia leaks or compressor failures threatening product integrity, we prioritize dispatch and communicate estimated arrival within 15 minutes of your call.
Emergency service call and first hour: $385 to $495 depending on time and day. Compressor rebuild (Frick, Vilter screw): $8,500 to $18,000 depending on horsepower and parts. Ammonia leak repair with nitrogen pressure test and recharge: $1,200 to $3,800. Evaporator coil replacement in freezer room: $4,500 to $12,000 depending on tonnage. Refrigerant retrofit (R-22 to R-449A) including oil change and filter driers: $2,800 to $9,500 per circuit. We provide written estimates before non-emergency work begins.
Compressors: Vilter (single and twin screw, 440 and 450 series), Frick (RWF II, RWB, XJW screw models), Mycom (N-series screw), Howden (screw and reciprocating), Carrier Carlyle (06T, 06E reciprocating), Bitzer (HSK, CSH screw), Copeland semi-hermetic racks. Evaporators: Evapco, Baltimore Aircoil, Colmac, Bohn, Koxka. Controls: Danfoss (AK-SC controllers), Emerson (E2, Sensi-Temp), Schneider Electric, Johnson Controls. We cross-reference obsolete part numbers and source aftermarket components when OEM lead times exceed your downtime tolerance.
Yes. While our headquarters and fastest response times center on DFW (Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco), we dispatch technicians statewide across Texas. We regularly service cold storage facilities in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, El Paso, Lubbock, Amarillo, Waco, and Tyler. For planned maintenance or major retrofits outside DFW, we schedule multi-day service visits to complete compressor overhauls, control upgrades, or refrigerant conversions. Emergency coverage remains available 24/7 with 4 to 8 hour response depending on distance from our Dallas location.
Absolutely. Cold storage warehouses operate around the clock, and refrigeration failures don't wait for business hours. We provide 24/7/365 emergency dispatch at (214) 949-8674. Night, weekend, and holiday surcharges apply but are transparent before we roll. Typical after-hours scenarios: compressor motor failure causing room temperature rise, ammonia leak requiring immediate isolation and ventilation, evaporator fan motor burnout in a freezer section, or control system fault shutting down an entire rack. Our technicians carry sufficient inventory to complete most emergency repairs on the first visit, minimizing your product exposure risk.
