When your walk-in cooler fails in Frisco's brutal summer heat, you need technicians who diagnose compressor faults, refrigerant leaks, and evaporator coil issues fast. Almcoe Refrigeration has kept Texas commercial kitchens 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.
Since 1960, we've repaired walk-in coolers from The Star district to Stonebriar Centre. Our techs know the specific failures that hit Texas kitchens hardest: condensers clogged with cottonwood, compressors cycling on 105°F afternoons, and evaporator coils freezing from poor airflow. We carry Copeland scroll compressors, Sporlan TXVs, and Danfoss controls on every truck because downtime costs you $500+ per hour in spoiled product.
Our techs hold EPA Universal certification and TDLR licenses. We troubleshoot with manifold gauges and amp meters, not guesswork. Whether it's an R-404A system running high head pressure, an R-449A retrofit leaking at the drier, or a failed Copeland ZP series compressor, we diagnose root cause and repair it right. We stock OEM parts for Bohn, Heatcraft, Larkin, and Russell units. You get a written estimate before we turn a wrench.
Service call is $145 during business hours, $195 after hours, applied to repair. Average walk-in compressor replacement runs $1,800 to $3,200 installed depending on tonnage. TXV replacement averages $450. Evaporator fan motor $320 to $580. We provide itemized invoices with part numbers and labor breakdowns. Our 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews reflects honest pricing and quality work that keeps Frisco restaurants, hospitals, and grocers running.
“Compressor locked up on a Saturday night. Almcoe had us cold again in four hours. Saved our weekend sales at The Star.”
“They found a pinhole leak in our evaporator coil that two other companies missed. Fixed it right, explained the whole R-449A system.”
“Our walk-in was running but not holding temp. Bad TXV. Diagnosed in 20 minutes, repaired same day. Fair price, no upselling.”
Most failures trace to condenser coils clogged with dust and cottonwood debris, compressors overheating in 100°F+ summer ambients, evaporator fans failing from continuous run cycles, and TXV hunting from refrigerant migration overnight. Door gaskets deteriorate fast in Texas heat, causing box temps to creep. We also see frequent drain line freezing and defrost timer failures on older Bohn and Heatcraft units still running R-22 or R-404A.
We average 90 minutes for emergency calls in Frisco, The Star, and Stonebriar areas during business hours. After hours and weekends typically see two-hour response. We dispatch from our Dallas facility at 4050 Cresthill Rd with fully stocked service trucks. For critical failures where you're losing product, we prioritize the call and often arrive faster. Call (214) 949-8674 and speak directly to our dispatch, not an answering service.
$145 service call during business hours, $195 after hours, both applied to repair. Common repairs: TXV replacement $450, evaporator fan motor $320 to $580, compressor changeout $1,800 to $3,200 depending on tonnage, condenser fan motor $280 to $460, refrigerant leak repair and recharge $600 to $1,400. We provide written estimates before starting work. No hidden fees, no trip charge games. Parts and labor itemized on every invoice.
We repair all commercial walk-in brands: Kolpak, Amerikooler, Norlake, Master-Bilt, Bally, U.S. Cooler, and Polar King boxes. We service Bohn, Heatcraft, Larkin, Russell, and Copeland refrigeration systems. Our trucks carry Copeland scroll compressors, Sporlan and Danfoss TXVs, Ranco and Paragon defrost controls, and ECM evaporator motors. We work on R-22, R-404A, R-449A, R-448A, and newer R-454C systems. If it's a walk-in cooler, we fix it.
Yes. We service all Frisco neighborhoods: The Star district, Stonebriar Centre area, Preston Road corridor, Main Street downtown, and the Dallas North Tollway business zones. We also cover nearby Plano, McKinney, Little Elm, and The Colony. Our primary service area is DFW, but we handle commercial refrigeration throughout Texas. Frisco sits 25 minutes north of our Dallas shop, so we're on-site fast for walk-in emergencies.
Absolutely. Walk-in failures don't wait for business hours. We run 24/7/365 emergency service with live dispatch at (214) 949-8674. Whether your compressor fails at 2 AM or your box warms up on Sunday morning, we respond. After-hours service call is $195 versus $145 during business hours, applied to the repair. Our techs carry the parts and tools to complete most repairs on the first trip, even at midnight.
