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 know what a down cooler means in July when it's 103°F outside. Our emergency techs respond from our Cresthill Road facility with fully stocked service trucks. We carry Copeland scroll compressors, Sporlan TXVs, evaporator fan motors, and controls for most commercial walk-ins. That means fewer return trips and faster repairs when you're bleeding inventory.
We've repaired thousands of walk-in coolers from Deep Ellum to Las Colinas. Our techs diagnose compressor short-cycling, refrigerant leaks, failed contactors, and frost-covered evaporators fast. We check superheat and subcooling on R-404A and newer R-448A systems, test defrost boards, verify drain line flow, and measure box temperature pull-down. Proper diagnosis prevents callbacks and gets you back to safe storage temps.
Almcoe holds EPA Universal certification and TDLR licensing required in Texas. We handle refrigerant recovery properly on every job, whether we're repairing a small leak or replacing a failed compressor. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews reflects the quality work Dallas restaurants, grocers, and distributors have trusted for over 60 years.
“They had our walk-in back to 36°F in under two hours on a Saturday night. Saved our entire weekend inventory.”
“Compressor failed at 9 PM Friday. Almcoe tech arrived before 11, diagnosed a locked rotor, and had us running by 2 AM.”
“Lost cooling Thursday afternoon in our produce cooler. They responded same-day, found the TXV stuck closed, replaced it fast.”
We target 90-minute response within Dallas County and typically arrive within two hours across the wider DFW area including Fort Worth, Plano, and Irving. Response depends on your location and our current emergency queue, but we dispatch the closest available tech immediately. After-hours and weekend emergency calls receive the same priority as weekday service.
Yes. We staff emergency techs seven days a week specifically for urgent calls. Most walk-in cooler emergencies in Dallas get same-day service, even on weekends and holidays. We carry common failure parts like compressor contactors, fan motors, TXVs, defrost timers, and door gaskets on our trucks. For major component failures like compressor replacement, we source parts rapidly from local suppliers.
Emergency service calls start with a trip charge, typically $195 to $295 depending on time and distance. Actual repair costs depend on the failure. A contactor replacement might run $350 to $500 total. Compressor replacement on a medium-temp cooler ranges from $1,800 to $3,500 depending on tonnage and refrigerant type. We diagnose the problem, quote the repair, and get your approval before proceeding with anything beyond minor adjustments.
We service all commercial walk-in cooler brands including Kolpak, Norlake, Master-Bilt, Bally, U.S. Cooler, and Arctic Industries. We're experienced with Copeland, Tecumseh, and Bitzer compressors, Heatcraft and Larkin evaporators, and Sporlan controls. Our techs carry cross-reference guides for older discontinued models common in Dallas restaurants. If your cooler runs on refrigerant, we can diagnose and repair it regardless of age or manufacturer.
Yes. We respond to emergency calls throughout Dallas including Deep Ellum, Uptown, Bishop Arts, Lower Greenville, Trinity Groves, downtown, and surrounding suburbs. We also service Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, and communities across the DFW Metroplex. Our Cresthill Road location provides quick access to most of Dallas County, and we dispatch from home for after-hours emergencies to minimize response time.
Keep the door closed as much as possible to maintain whatever cooling remains. Move your most temperature-sensitive items like dairy, meat, and seafood to functioning refrigeration if available. Don't add warm product. Check your condenser area to make sure airflow isn't blocked by cardboard or debris. If you see ice buildup on the evaporator coil, note that for the tech. Avoid adjusting thermostat settings repeatedly, this can mask symptoms and delay accurate diagnosis.
