When your walk-in cooler fails in Irving, you need a technician who understands Texas heat and refrigeration systems, not just a parts swapper. Almcoe has kept DFW kitchens running since 1960, through countless 105°F summers.
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 across Irving, from Las Colinas catering operations to restaurant clusters along Highway 114. We've seen every failure mode on every make. Our techs diagnose compressor short cycling, evaporator coil icing, and door gasket failures without guesswork. When a Copeland 3D compressor locks up at 2 AM, you need experience, not a manual.
We work on parallel rack systems, condensing units, and hermetic compressors daily. Whether your walk-in runs R-404A or you're transitioning to R-449A or R-454C, we handle refrigerant conversions properly. We diagnose TXV hunting, fix suction line sweating, and recalibrate electronic expansion valves on Danfoss and Sporlan controls. Our EPA-certified techs understand refrigeration theory, not just wiring diagrams.
Full EPA Section 608 certification and Texas TDLR licensing. We carry complete parts inventory for Tecumseh, Copeland, and Bitzer compressors, plus Larkin and Strip-Curtains door components. Our service vehicles stock contactors, relays, defrost timers, and pressure controls to fix most walk-in failures on the first visit. 4.9 Google rating across 47+ reviews from restaurants, hotels, and commissaries throughout DFW.
“Compressor burned out on Saturday night. Almcoe had us cold again by Sunday morning. Saved thousands in lost product.”
“Been using them for eight years across three locations. They know our Kolpak walk-ins better than we do.”
“Evaporator fan motor failed during prep. Tech arrived in 90 minutes, had the part on truck. True professionals.”
Service call diagnosis runs $185 to $225 depending on time. Common repairs: evaporator fan motors $320 to $480 installed, TXV replacement $280 to $420, door gasket sets $150 to $310, contactor or relay $95 to $175. Compressor replacement varies widely by tonnage and type, from $1,200 for a small Tecumseh hermetic to $3,800+ for larger semi-hermetic Copeland or Bitzer units. We provide written estimates before major repairs.
We dispatch for emergency calls within 60 to 90 minutes across Irving and Las Colinas during business hours. After-hours and weekend response averages 90 to 120 minutes depending on tech location. For non-emergency service like scheduled maintenance or minor repairs, we typically schedule within 24 hours. During July and August peak season, response times may extend slightly but we prioritize complete walk-in failures over other service calls.
Yes. We service and repair Kolpak, Bally, Master-Bilt, Norlake, U.S. Cooler, Americold, and custom-built walk-ins regardless of age. We work on all major refrigeration components: Copeland, Tecumseh, Bitzer, and Embraco compressors, Danfoss and Sporlan controls, Heatcraft and Larkin evaporators. If your walk-in uses R-22, R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, or R-454C refrigerant, we handle it. Our parts relationships go back decades across DFW wholesale suppliers.
Condenser coils clog with cottonwood and dust, causing high head pressure and compressor overload. Ambient temperatures over 100°F stress undersized condensing units installed years ago for milder design conditions. Door gaskets harden and crack from temperature differential. Evaporator coils ice over when defrost timers fail or when kitchen staff leave doors propped open, introducing humid air. We see more compressor failures June through September than the rest of the year combined due to Texas heat load.
Absolutely. We cover all of Irving, including Las Colinas business district, Highway 114 corridor, DFW Airport area, and Valley Ranch. We also service Coppell, Farmers Branch, and the broader DFW metro area. Almcoe has serviced commercial refrigeration across North Texas since 1960. Our address is 4050 Cresthill Rd, Dallas TX 75227, centrally located for fast Irving response times.
Yes, 24/7/365. Walk-in failures don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. We staff on-call EPA-certified technicians around the clock for emergency breakdowns. Weekend and after-hours service carries a premium trip charge, typically $285 to $350 depending on time and day, but labor rates remain consistent. When you're losing product at $800 per hour, that premium pays for itself. Call our main line (214) 949-8674 anytime, day or night.
