Almcoe Refrigeration has serviced True reach-ins, prep tables, and back bar coolers across Texas since 1960. When your T-72 runs warm in a Dallas heat wave or your TUC-48F loses temp during dinner rush, our EPA and TDLR licensed technicians respond fast with factory knowledge and genuine parts.
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 a warm True reach-in means lost product and revenue. Our dispatch center gets technicians rolling within two hours in the DFW metro, often faster. For restaurants, hospitals, and convenience stores across Texas, we carry common True parts on every truck: evaporator fans, TXVs, door gaskets, and control boards. After 65 years, we stock what fails most in Texas heat.
Our senior technicians have decades on True models from the T-23 single door to the latest TBB-4G-LD back bars. We understand True's bottom mount compressor design, the capillary tube systems on smaller units, and the transition from R-404A to R-449A and R-454C in newer equipment. We diagnose compressor short cycling, evaporator coil icing, and temperature swings quickly because we see these failures weekly across hundreds of Texas installations.
Every Almcoe technician holds EPA Section 608 Universal certification and Texas TDLR refrigeration licenses. We handle refrigerant recovery, leak repair, and system charging to state and federal standards. Our work meets health department requirements for restaurants, grocery stores, and medical facilities. We document every repair with refrigerant logs, pressure readings, and amperage draws. You get proper paperwork for inspections and insurance.
“Our True TUC-60 prep table went down Friday night. Almcoe had a tech here in 90 minutes and we were cold again before midnight. Saved our weekend.”
“We run six True T-49 reach-ins. Almcoe keeps them all on a PM schedule and responds same-day when we call. They know these units inside out.”
“Compressor failed on our True TBB-3 back bar during lunch rush. Almcoe diagnosed it, quoted a fair price, and had us running by dinner service.”
We repair all True commercial refrigerators including T-series reach-ins (T-23, T-49, T-72), TUC-series undercounter prep tables (TUC-27, TUC-48, TUC-60, TUC-93), and TBB-series back bar coolers. Services include compressor replacement, evaporator coil repair, TXV replacement, door gasket and hinge service, control board diagnostics, refrigerant leak repair, and full system charging with R-404A, R-449A, or R-454C. We handle both emergency breakdowns and scheduled preventive maintenance statewide.
In the DFW metro area, we typically dispatch within two hours, often arriving same-day. For Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and other major Texas cities, we schedule emergency service within 24 hours depending on technician availability and your location. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch because we know refrigeration failures don't wait for business hours. Critical breakdowns like walk-in cooler compressor failures or multi-unit restaurants get priority response to minimize product loss.
Service call diagnostics start at $185 to $225 depending on location and time of day. Common repairs run $350 to $650 for control boards, door gaskets, or fan motors. Compressor replacement on a True T-49 reach-in typically costs $1,200 to $1,800 including labor, refrigerant, and the compressor. Evaporator coil replacement runs $600 to $1,100. We provide written quotes before starting work over $200. Emergency after-hours service carries a $95 surcharge but we never surprise you with hidden fees.
Texas heat causes condenser coils to clog faster, leading to high head pressure and compressor failure. We see evaporator fan motor failures on T-series units, especially in dusty environments. TUC prep table door gaskets wear quickly with constant opening during service. Control board failures increase in summer when ambient temps hit 100°F plus in non-air-conditioned kitchens. Capillary tube restrictions on smaller units cause low suction and warm boxes. R-404A systems often need retrofitting to R-449A as equipment ages and regulations tighten.
Yes. While DFW is our primary market, we service all of Texas including Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Waco, Tyler, Lubbock, Amarillo, and the Rio Grande Valley. For locations outside DFW, we schedule service trips to maximize efficiency, often grouping multiple calls in one area. Larger facilities with multiple True units or urgent breakdowns get priority scheduling. We've served Texas restaurants, hospitals, schools, and grocery stores statewide since 1960 and maintain relationships with customers from El Paso to Beaumont.
Absolutely. We answer emergency calls day and night, weekends and holidays. A failed True reach-in at 2 AM Saturday means lost inventory by morning, so we staff on-call technicians around the clock. After-hours service carries a $95 surcharge, but we get technicians rolling fast. Our trucks stock common True parts so many repairs finish the same night. For DFW customers, we often arrive within two hours of your call. We've been doing emergency commercial refrigeration work in Texas since 1960 and understand the urgency.
