When your walk-in goes down at 9 PM on a Friday in Deep Ellum or your prep table quits during lunch rush in Sundance Square, you need a technician who knows Turbo Air compressors, True door gaskets, and R-404A retrofit pressures. Almcoe has kept DFW restaurants cold 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.
A compressor failure at 11 PM in Uptown or a glycol leak Sunday morning in West 7th means lost product and lost revenue. Our dispatch answers 24/7/365. We stock OEM parts for True, Turbo Air, and Beverage-Air on every truck. Average response time under two hours across DFW means we're pulling your evaporator coil or swapping a TXV while other shops are still returning voicemails. That's 64 years of restaurant service talking.
DFW summers put condensers through hell. When it's 103°F in July and your rooftop unit in Trinity Groves is struggling to hold 38°F, we know whether you need condenser coil cleaning, fan motor replacement, or refrigerant charge adjustment. We've transitioned hundreds of DFW restaurants from R-404A to R-449A and R-448A. Our techs carry refrigerant analyzers, leak detectors, and micron gauges on every call because guesswork costs you money.
Every Almcoe technician holds EPA Universal certification and TDLR licensure required in Texas. We pull permits for refrigerant work, document every charge added, and keep your operation compliant during health inspections. Whether it's a failed Copeland scroll compressor in a Frisco pizzeria or a leaking evaporator in a Las Colinas steakhouse, you get proper diagnosis, proper repair, and proper documentation. No shortcuts. No unlicensed hacks.
“Compressor went out at 10 PM Saturday. Almcoe had a tech here by midnight and we were cold again by 3 AM. Saved every bit of our weekend prep.”
“Our True two-door kept tripping the breaker. Other companies wanted to replace the whole unit. Almcoe found a shorted evaporator fan motor. Fixed for $340.”
“Walk-in temps climbing during lunch rush in August. Tech diagnosed bad condenser fan and low charge. Back to 36°F in two hours. These guys know their stuff.”
Service call and diagnosis runs $145 to $185 depending on time and location. Common repairs: TXV replacement $280-$450, evaporator fan motor $220-$380, compressor replacement $800-$1,900 depending on tonnage and refrigerant type. Walk-in condensing unit replacement ranges $2,200-$5,500. We provide written estimates before any repair work begins. Emergency after-hours calls include a $95 dispatch premium but same repair labor rates.
We average under two hours for emergency calls in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, and Arlington. Deep Ellum, Uptown, Sundance Square, and Legacy West typically see response within 90 minutes. Our techs run from 6 AM to midnight weekdays, 24/7 on-call weekends and holidays. We stock parts for True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, and Delfield on every truck, so most repairs complete same visit without parts delays.
Yes. We service True, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Delfield, Traulsen, Hoshizaki, Master-Bilt, Norlake, Victory, and Nor-Lake. That covers walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in units, prep tables, sandwich units, bar coolers, and display cases. We maintain factory relationships for OEM parts and carry cross-reference equivalents when original parts are discontinued. Our techs have 60-plus combined years on commercial refrigeration across every major brand in the DFW market.
Texas heat kills condensers. When ambient temps hit 100°F-plus in July and August, dirty condenser coils can't reject heat, causing high head pressure, compressor overload, and thermal shutdowns. We see failed condenser fan motors, burnt contactors, and refrigerant leaks from thermal expansion stress. Rooftop units in Deep Ellum and Trinity Groves take the worst beating. Regular condenser coil cleaning every 90 days prevents most summer failures. We offer preventive maintenance contracts starting at $340 per quarter.
Yes. Primary service area includes Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Arlington, Richardson, Garland, and Carrollton. We regularly service restaurants in Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Uptown, Trinity Groves, Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, West 7th, Legacy West, The Star, Las Colinas, and Downtown Plano. We also cover outlying areas including Denton, McKinney, Rockwall, and Grand Prairie. For locations beyond 40 miles from our Dallas shop, we add a reasonable travel charge disclosed upfront.
Absolutely. Restaurants can't wait until Monday morning when a walk-in fails Saturday night. We provide true 24/7/365 emergency dispatch at (214) 949-8674. After-hours calls include a $95 emergency dispatch fee plus standard repair rates. Our on-call techs carry fully stocked trucks with compressors, motors, contactors, TXVs, refrigerant, and common parts for True, Turbo Air, and Beverage-Air equipment. Most emergency repairs complete same night to minimize product loss and downtime.
