When your walk-in cooler fails in Dallas summer heat, every hour costs you inventory. Almcoe Refrigeration has diagnosed compressor shorts, refrigerant leaks, and failed evaporator fans across DFW since 1960. We stock parts and carry refrigerants for most makes on our trucks.
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 failed walk-in cooler in a Deep Ellum restaurant or Trinity Groves kitchen means losing product by the hour. Our techs average 2-hour response across Dallas County, faster inside Loop 12. We stock common Copeland scroll compressor models, condenser fan motors, and TXVs on every truck. Most repairs completed same visit.
Since 1960, we've logged thousands of walk-in failures. We diagnose with refrigeration gauges, amp meters, and superheat/subcool readings. Common Dallas issues: compressor overheating from inadequate condenser airflow in 105°F summers, scored compressor bearings from liquid slugging, failed door gaskets letting humid air flood the box. We fix root causes, not symptoms.
Every Almcoe tech holds current EPA 608 Universal certification and Texas TDLR Refrigeration licenses. We handle refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and recharge to EPA standards. Our insurance covers work in high-occupancy locations like Legacy West retail or AT&T Stadium concessions. You get documentation for health inspectors and your insurance carrier.
“Cooler went down Saturday night, lost temp fast. Almcoe had a tech here in 90 minutes, compressor replaced by morning. Saved our weekend.”
“Intermittent cooling for weeks, other companies just added refrigerant. Almcoe found a cracked evaporator coil and fixed it permanently.”
“Walk-in running but temps climbing to 50°F. They diagnosed a failing TXV in under 20 minutes, had the part on truck, done in an hour.”
In Dallas heat, we see compressor failures from running continuously in 100°F+ ambient temps, especially on undersized or dirty condensers. Failed evaporator fan motors from continuous duty. TXV hunting or freezing from moisture in the system. Door heater failures letting gaskets freeze to jambs. Refrigerant leaks at flare fittings and vibration points. Control board failures from voltage spikes during Texas summer storms.
We average 2-hour response inside Dallas city limits, often faster in high-density areas like Deep Ellum, Uptown, and the Medical District. For after-hours emergencies, our on-call tech dispatches directly. We prioritize total failures and rising temps over maintenance calls. Response times may extend to 3-4 hours in outer DFW during peak summer demand, but we keep you updated.
Diagnostic visits run $185 to $225, credited toward repair. Simple fixes like replacing a fan motor or contactor typically cost $350 to $650 installed. Compressor replacement on a standard 8x10 box runs $1,800 to $3,200 depending on tonnage and refrigerant type. Complete refrigerant circuit repairs with leak detection and recharge range $900 to $2,400. We quote before proceeding with any repair over $500.
We service all major walk-in brands common in the DFW market: Kolpak, Master-Bilt, Nor-Lake, Bally, U.S. Cooler, Bush, and Americold boxes. On the refrigeration side, we work on Copeland, Tecumseh, Bitzer, and Danfoss compressors. For controls, we handle KE2 Therm, Ranco, Danfoss, and Johnson Controls. If it holds refrigerant and keeps food cold, we've likely got parts and experience with that model.
We cover all of Dallas County and the greater DFW metroplex. That includes Dallas neighborhoods like Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Lower Greenville, Uptown, and Trinity Groves. We regularly service Fort Worth's Stockyards and Sundance Square, Plano's Legacy West, Irving's Las Colinas district, Frisco's Star development, and Arlington's Entertainment District. For locations outside the metroplex, we travel statewide for commercial accounts.
Yes. Walk-in cooler failures don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call (214) 949-8674 any time, day or night, weekends and holidays. Our after-hours dispatcher reaches the on-call tech immediately. Emergency service carries a $295 after-hours trip charge (weeknights after 6pm, weekends, holidays), but we'll have a certified tech with parts and gauges responding fast to protect your inventory.
