When your hotel kitchen walk-in goes down at 2 AM or a prep table quits during breakfast service, you need a technician who knows hospitality refrigeration inside out. Almcoe has kept DFW hotel kitchens running since 1960, through every Texas heat wave and power surge.
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 installed our first hotel walk-in during the 1960 Dallas construction boom. Today we service properties from Legacy West in Plano down to Arlington's Entertainment District near AT&T Stadium. We know the Hoshizaki KM-900 units common in extended-stay properties, the Traulsen reach-ins in boutique hotel kitchens in Bishop Arts and Sundance Square, and the older Kolpak boxes still running in vintage downtown Dallas hotels. Three generations of our techs have worked DFW hospitality accounts.
July and August in Dallas means ambient temps hitting 105°F, rooftop condensers running overtime, and hotel kitchen refrigeration working double duty. We size condensers correctly for Texas heat, verify airflow across coils in cramped hotel equipment rooms, and transition R-404A systems to R-449A or R-448A blends that handle high head pressure better. Hard DFW water destroys ice machines fast. We rebuild Manitowoc evaporators, replace Scotsman water distribution tubes, and install proper filtration upstream.
Every Almcoe technician carries EPA Section 608 Universal certification and Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation credentials. We handle R-22 phaseout conversions, R-404A retrofits to A2L refrigerants like R-454C, and new HFO installs per current code. Our van stock includes TXVs, solenoids, compressor contactors, and door gaskets for True, Delfield, Turbo Air, and Victory models common in hotel kitchens. We pull proper vacuum, weigh in refrigerant charge to the ounce, and document every EPA-required recovery.
“Walk-in compressor failed during a wedding weekend. Almcoe had a tech here in an hour, swapped the semi-hermetic, and saved $9,000 in food.”
“Our prep table was icing over every night. Their tech found a failed defrost timer and adjusted the TXV. No more issues, reasonable price.”
“Called at 10 PM with a warm reach-in full of breakfast ingredients. They diagnosed a bad run capacitor and had us cold again by midnight.”
We service and repair all commercial refrigeration in hotel kitchens across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex: walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in uprights, undercounter refrigerators and freezers, prep tables, sandwich and pizza prep units, glass door merchandisers, and ice machines. We work on all major brands including Hoshizaki, Traulsen, True, Delfield, Turbo Air, Victory, Kolpak, and Bally. Services include compressor replacement, refrigerant leak repair, TXV and solenoid replacement, door gasket and hinge repair, evaporator coil cleaning, condenser service, defrost system repair, and full diagnostics.
We maintain 24/7/365 emergency service with an average 90-minute response time for Dallas County and Tarrant County hotel properties. Our techs stage from our Cresthill Road facility in southeast Dallas with full van stock. Most calls in Uptown, Deep Ellum, Las Colinas, Fort Worth Sundance Square, and Arlington Entertainment District get same-hour response. Plano, Frisco, and outlying areas typically see response within two hours. We understand a down walk-in or failed prep table costs hotels hundreds per hour in lost food and guest complaints.
Service call fees run $175 to $225 depending on time and location. Common repairs: compressor replacement $800 to $2,400 depending on tonnage and refrigerant type, TXV replacement $285 to $450, evaporator fan motor $220 to $380, door gasket set $140 to $260, refrigerant leak repair and recharge $350 to $950. Walk-in condenser replacement runs $1,100 to $2,800. We provide upfront estimates before starting work. Emergency after-hours calls carry a $125 surcharge. Most hotel clients set up account billing for faster dispatch.
We service every major commercial refrigeration brand found in DFW hotel kitchens: Hoshizaki, Traulsen, True Manufacturing, Delfield, Turbo Air, Victory, Beverage-Air, Kolpak, Bally, Master-Bilt, Norlake, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Follett, and Everest. Our techs carry factory service manuals, OEM parts cross-references, and manufacturer training certifications for the most common models. We stock compressors, condensing units, and replacement parts for equipment ranging from new R-454C systems down to 30-year-old R-22 walk-ins still operating in older Dallas and Fort Worth properties.
Yes. We provide hotel kitchen refrigeration repair across all of Dallas-Fort Worth including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, Carrollton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Grapevine, Southlake, Hurst, Euless, Bedford, and surrounding cities. Our primary service area covers the entire DFW metroplex with fastest response in Dallas County and Tarrant County. We handle properties from downtown Dallas high-rises to airport corridor hotels in Irving and DFW, from Legacy West Plano to Fort Worth Cultural District to The Star in Frisco.
Absolutely. Hotel kitchens operate around the clock, and we match that schedule. We staff 24-hour dispatch and maintain on-call technicians every night, weekend, and holiday including Christmas and New Year's. Call (214) 949-8674 any time for emergency hotel kitchen refrigeration repair. Late night and Sunday calls are common in our hospitality accounts. A breakfast buffet with a failed reach-in at 5 AM or a wedding banquet threatened by a warm walk-in gets the same fast response as a weekday call. After-hours service includes a $125 surcharge plus standard labor and parts.
