Since 1960, Almcoe Refrigeration has kept Dallas commercial kitchens running through Texas summers that push condensers to their limits. Our scheduled PM programs catch refrigerant leaks, condenser coil fouling, and compressor failures before they cost you product or downtime.
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 started servicing commercial refrigeration when R-12 was standard and compressors were open-drive. That experience shows in our PM checklists. We track superheat and subcooling on every visit, log compressor amp draw against nameplate, test defrost termination on walk-ins, and measure water quality on ice machines. DFW hard water causes scale buildup that kills Hoshizaki and Manitowoc units. We catch it early. Our techs know the difference between normal wear and a compressor starting to fail.
Dallas summers hit 105°F regularly. Your rooftop condensing units in Deep Ellum, Uptown, or Bishop Arts are working twice as hard in July and August. We recommend quarterly PM visits during cooling season. We clean condenser coils, check fan motor bearings, verify head pressure controls, inspect crankcase heaters, and test high-pressure cutouts. A dirty coil in 100°F ambient will spike head pressure past 300 PSIG on R-404A systems. That trips safeties or worse, burns out compressors. Preventive maintenance pays for itself in avoided breakdowns.
Every PM visit generates a written report with refrigerant pressures, temperatures, amp draws, and findings. We photograph issues like oil-logged evaporators, corroded electrical connections, or damaged door gaskets. You get copies immediately. Our service records go back years, so we track trends on your equipment. When a compressor starts pulling higher amps or a case runs warmer, we see it before it becomes a midnight emergency. That documentation also satisfies health inspections and insurance requirements across Texas.
“Their quarterly PM caught a refrigerant leak on our True reach-in before we lost product. Saved us easily $2,000 in food cost and downtime.”
“Almcoe has maintained our walk-in coolers for eight years. We have not had a single compressor failure since starting their program. Worth every penny.”
“They documented everything during PM, then showed us photos of the condenser coil. It was packed solid. Cleaned it same visit and our electric bill dropped $140 next month.”
Our PM visits cover condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, refrigerant charge verification with superheat and subcooling measurements, electrical connections torqued to spec, compressor amp draw logged, defrost system testing, door gasket inspection, drain line flushing, and fan motor bearing checks. We service all brands including True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Master-Bilt, and Kolpak. Every visit generates a written report with pressures, temperatures, and photos of any issues found.
PM contract customers get priority dispatch with same-day response across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Frisco, and Arlington. Most scheduled PM visits are booked two to four weeks out, but if you have an urgent issue between visits, you move to the front of the queue. We keep common parts for your equipment on our trucks after the first PM visit, so repairs during routine maintenance often happen same trip without waiting on parts.
PM contracts typically run $180 to $350 per unit per visit depending on equipment type and complexity. A basic reach-in refrigerator costs less than a large walk-in with rack systems. Most restaurants with two to four pieces of equipment average $600 to $900 per quarterly visit. That investment typically saves three to five times its cost in avoided emergency service calls, extended compressor life, and lower energy bills from clean coils and proper refrigerant charge.
We service every major brand including True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Delfield, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc, Scotsman, Master-Bilt, Kolpak, Bally, Nor-Lake, Continental, and Victory. Our techs have 65 years combined experience with reach-in refrigerators and freezers, walk-in coolers, prep tables, sandwich units, under-counter units, display cases, ice machines, and custom refrigeration systems. We stock common parts for popular models and can source OEM parts for older equipment still in service across Dallas.
Yes, we service all of Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington, and surrounding DFW communities. Our techs regularly maintain equipment in Deep Ellum, Uptown, Bishop Arts, Lower Greenville, Trinity Groves, the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, West 7th, Legacy West, Las Colinas, The Star, and Downtown Plano. We also cover restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, hotels, hospitals, and commissaries throughout North Texas. Our 4050 Cresthill Rd location in Dallas puts us within 45 minutes of most customer sites.
Absolutely. Many restaurants in Deep Ellum, Uptown, and Bishop Arts prefer PM visits after closing to avoid disrupting service. We schedule evening and overnight appointments for coil cleaning, refrigerant work, and defrost testing that requires equipment downtime. Our techs work Sunday through Saturday, and PM contract customers get 24/7 emergency response if something fails between scheduled visits. After-hours PM typically adds $75 to $125 to the visit cost depending on timing, but it keeps your kitchen operating during peak hours.
