When your walk-in goes down in Fort Worth's summer heat, you need techs who've seen every Bohn, Kolpak, and Amerikooler failure mode. Almcoe has kept DFW restaurants and distributors cold since 1960, with real refrigeration expertise.
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.
Since 1960, we've repaired walk-ins from the Stockyards meat lockers to Sundance Square bistros. Our techs carry real trade knowledge: compressor staging, expansion valve sizing, defrost termination troubleshooting. We stock OEM Bohn evaporator coils, Copeland scroll compressors, and Sporlan TXVs on every truck. When a West 7th steakhouse loses refrigeration on a Saturday night, we arrive with parts and diagnostic gear, not a phone call to a supplier.
Fort Worth summers routinely hit 102°F in July and August. Your condenser works overtime, and marginal components fail fast. We size condensers correctly for ambient load, verify head pressure controls, and check for adequate airflow around rooftop units. Our EPA-certified techs understand R-404A phasedown timelines and can retrofit your system to R-449A or R-448A when compressor replacement makes financial sense. We calculate payback periods in real dollars, not sales pitches.
Every Almcoe technician carries EPA Section 608 certification and Texas TDLR credentials. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews reflects decades of repeat clients in Fort Worth restaurant districts and distribution centers. We provide written repair estimates before starting work, explain failure causes in plain trade language, and warranty all compressor and evaporator repairs. Our shop is at 4050 Cresthill Rd in Dallas, not a call center in another state.
“Compressor locked up on our walk-in Friday afternoon. Almcoe had a Copeland scroll installed and us back online by dinner service. Real pros.”
“Evaporator coil froze solid, product temps climbing. Their tech diagnosed a failed defrost timer in 15 minutes and carried the replacement part.”
“Called four companies for a Sunday morning walk-in failure in the Stockyards. Only Almcoe answered and had a truck here within the hour.”
Compressor failures from sustained high ambient temps, failed evaporator fan motors, TXV hunting due to improper superheat, and door gasket leaks that overload the system. In Fort Worth's July and August heat, undersized or dirty condensers cause high head pressure, which destroys compressor valves and shortens oil life. We also see frequent defrost timer and termination stat failures on older Bohn and Larkin coils. Proper diagnosis requires manifold gauges, amp draw readings, and superheat calculation, not guesswork.
Our average Fort Worth response time is under 90 minutes for emergency calls. We dispatch from our Dallas facility at 4050 Cresthill Rd and maintain parts inventory for Bohn, Kolpak, Amerikooler, and Master-Bilt systems. For Stockyards, Sundance Square, and West 7th locations, we often arrive in under an hour. Our techs carry compressors up to 3 HP, fan motors, contactors, TXVs, and refrigerant on every service truck. After-hours and weekend emergency service is always available at (214) 949-8674.
Diagnostic service calls run $185 to $240. Compressor replacement ranges from $1,400 to $3,800 depending on tonnage and refrigerant type. Evaporator fan motors cost $320 to $580 installed. TXV replacement runs $280 to $450. Condenser fan motor replacement is $380 to $620. We provide written estimates before starting repairs over $400 and explain whether repair or replacement makes financial sense. R-404A refrigerant costs have increased due to phasedown regulations, so we discuss R-449A retrofit options when compressor replacement is already needed.
We service all commercial walk-in brands: Bohn, Kolpak, Amerikooler, Master-Bilt, Larkin, Norlake, U.S. Cooler, and Polar King. Our techs work on Copeland, Tecumseh, and Bitzer compressors, Sporlan and Danfoss TXVs, and all major evaporator coil configurations. We stock OEM and compatible replacement parts for units ranging from small restaurant reach-ins converted to walk-ins up to large distribution center cold storage. Since 1960, we've maintained service manuals and parts diagrams for legacy equipment still operating in Fort Worth's older restaurant districts.
Yes. We cover the entire Fort Worth metro: Stockyards, Sundance Square, West 7th corridor, Cultural District, and all surrounding neighborhoods. We also service Arlington's Entertainment District near AT&T Stadium, and extend throughout Tarrant County. Our primary service area includes all of DFW, and we handle commercial refrigeration calls across Texas for established clients. Every Almcoe service truck carries Fort Worth street maps and familiar routes to restaurant districts, catering facilities, and distribution centers throughout the area.
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency service, nights, weekends, and holidays. Restaurants in Sundance Square and the Stockyards can't afford to lose refrigeration during service hours, and we understand the urgency. Our on-call techs carry full diagnostic equipment, common replacement parts, and refrigerant recovery and charging gear. After-hours service rates apply outside normal business hours, but we never leave a Fort Worth business without cold storage when product is at risk. Call (214) 949-8674 any time for immediate dispatch.
