When your blast freezer, spiral chiller, or cold storage system goes down, every minute costs you product. Almcoe has repaired food processing refrigeration across Texas since 1960, from the DFW metroplex to Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.
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, we have kept Texas food processors running through equipment failures, refrigerant transitions, and endless summer heat. We understand the difference between a retail walk-in and a blast freezer pushing 40,000 BTU. Your production schedule does not wait, and neither do we. Our techs carry parts for Turbo Air, Kolpak, and Heatcraft rack systems because we know what fails in July when it is 105°F outside and your condenser coils are clogged with cottonwood.
We service spiral freezers, plate freezers, blast chillers, tunnel freezers, glycol systems, and ammonia refrigeration. Our techs diagnose VFD compressor failures on Bitzer and Copeland scroll racks, repair Danfoss expansion valve hunting, and retrofit R-404A systems to R-449A or R-448A for compliance. We have worked in meat processing plants in Fort Worth, bakery operations near Legacy West in Plano, and cold storage facilities in Irving's Las Colinas district. We speak your language because we live in your world.
Every Almcoe technician holds EPA Universal certification and TDLR licensing required for commercial refrigeration work in Texas. We document refrigerant recovery, provide leak repair certification, and maintain compliance records for OSHA and health department audits. Our service trucks carry manifold gauges, nitrogen for pressure testing, and refrigerants from R-22 to R-454C. When an inspector walks your facility, our work passes the first time. We have been doing this since before most regulations existed.
“Our blast freezer compressor failed at 2 AM. Almcoe had a tech here by 4:30 and we were back online before first shift. Saved us $18,000 in lost product.”
“They retrofitted our entire ammonia system and upgraded our cold storage to R-449A. On time, on budget, and no production downtime.”
“Best refrigeration company in Texas. They understand food processing deadlines and actually show up when they say they will.”
We repair and maintain all commercial food processing refrigeration: blast freezers, spiral chillers, plate freezers, tunnel systems, cold storage warehouses, glycol cooling systems, and ammonia refrigeration. We service compressor failures, expansion valve issues, evaporator coil leaks, control board failures, and VFD drive problems. Our techs work on Bitzer, Copeland, Carlyle, and Vilter compressors, plus Danfoss and Sporlan controls. We handle emergency breakdowns, planned maintenance, and full system retrofits from R-404A to newer refrigerants like R-449A and R-448A.
We provide 24/7 emergency service with 2-hour response time in the DFW metroplex and same-day service across Texas. We know that a down blast freezer or failed cold storage system costs you thousands per hour in lost product and delayed production. Our dispatch keeps techs staged across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. When you call (214) 949-8674, you reach a live person who understands the urgency, not an answering service. We have been doing emergency food processing work since 1960.
Emergency service calls start at $295 for diagnosis, with repair costs depending on the failure. A compressor replacement on a 10 HP Copeland scroll runs $2,800 to $4,200 installed. Evaporator coil replacement ranges from $1,500 to $6,000 depending on tonnage. Expansion valve replacement costs $450 to $900. Control board repairs run $600 to $1,800. Full system retrofits for refrigerant conversion start at $8,000 for small systems. We provide written estimates before work begins and offer maintenance contracts that reduce emergency call frequency and cost by 40% over time.
We service all major commercial refrigeration brands used in food processing: Turbo Air, Heatcraft, Bohn, Larkin, Kysor Warren, Russell, and Krack for evaporators and condensing units. Compressors include Bitzer, Copeland, Carlyle, Vilter, and Mycom. Controls from Danfoss, Sporlan, Emerson, and Johnson Controls. We work on spiral freezer systems from Frigoscandia and Intralox, blast chillers from Kolpak and Victory, and ammonia systems from Vilter and Mycom. Our trucks stock parts for the most common failures because we know what breaks in Texas heat.
Yes. While our primary service area is the DFW metroplex including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Frisco, and Arlington, we service food processing facilities across all of Texas. We regularly work in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Lubbock, El Paso, Corpus Christi, and Amarillo. For major processing plants outside DFW, we coordinate travel schedules for planned maintenance and keep emergency techs available for critical breakdowns. We have serviced Texas food processors since 1960 and maintain relationships with plants statewide. Call (214) 949-8674 to discuss your location and needs.
Absolutely. Food processing does not stop at 5 PM on Friday, and neither do we. We staff techs 24/7/365 for emergency refrigeration failures. A blast freezer failure at midnight on Saturday gets the same response as a Tuesday morning call. Our after-hours rate is $395 for the first hour, then standard labor rates apply. Many processing plants schedule us for weekend maintenance work to avoid production interruptions. We have worked Christmas Eve, New Year's Day, and every holiday in between since 1960. When your refrigeration fails, we answer the phone and dispatch a qualified tech immediately.
