Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Repair in Plano, TX | 24/7 Emergency Service

Commercial Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Services — All Brands

Kolpak, Norlake, Bally, Amerikooler, True, Hussmann, Heatcraft

We service all major walk-in cooler and freezer brands. Our technicians receive factory training and carry manufacturer-approved parts for faster, more reliable repairs on these leading brands.

Copeland/Emerson Compressors • Danfoss & Sporlan Controls

Our expertise extends to critical components. We're certified on Copeland/Emerson compressor systems and trained in Danfoss and Sporlan valve diagnostics and replacement.

Beyond basic repairs, we handle complete rebuilds. We fix damaged insulated panels and air sealing issues that waste energy and cause temperature problems.

Common Problems We Fix

Temperature & Control Issues (Thermostats, Carel/Dixell)

When temperatures rise, your inventory is at risk. We quickly diagnose issues with thermostat and controls, refrigerant levels, and airflow problems. We specialize in Carel and Dixell smart controller programming and troubleshooting.

Compressors, Coils, TXVs/EEVs, ECM Fan Motors

A dead cooler/freezer compressor needs immediate attention. We stock common compressors and can source specialty units fast. We also repair or replace evaporator and condenser coils, faulty TXV/EEV expansion valves causing poor cooling, and dead evaporator/condensing fan motors (ECM) that stop air circulation.

Refrigerant Leaks, Drains, Defrost Systems, Door Seals

We perform leak detection and repair documentation following EPA Section 608 rules. We work with all refrigerants: R-404A, R-448A, R-449A, R-134a, R-407A/C. We also clear clogged drain pans, drain lines & heaters, fix defrost heaters, sensors and timers, and replace worn door gaskets, hinges, closers, latches & strip curtains.

Our Diagnostic Process (EPA 608-Compliant)

System Readings, Electrical & Pressure Safety Checks

Our diagnostic process follows a systematic approach (typically 60-90 minutes on-site):

1. Temperature and pressure readings across all zones

2. Electrical/controls testing including high/low-pressure switches, time-delay relays, and fan cycle controls

3. Leak detection using electronic detectors and refrigerant management per EPA rules

4. Upfront estimate with detailed findings report

5. Repair, test, and documentation including temp readings and parts used

Leak Detection, Documentation & Upfront Estimates

You receive complete documentation of our findings, parts used, temperature readings, and EPA-compliant leak repair records. All estimates are provided upfront before any work begins.

Preventive Maintenance Plans (HACCP & FDA-Compliant)

Regular preventive maintenance stops breakdowns before they happen. Our service plans save money and extend equipment life.

Monthly/Quarterly Checklists • Coil/Drain Service

We follow detailed checklists to catch problems early. Our preventive maintenance plan includes:

• Coil cleaning and airflow verification

• Drain clearing and pan heater checks

• Door gasket/hinge adjustments and air sealing

• Controller calibration, data log review

Door Gaskets, Calibration, Data Logging Review

Accurate controls and data logging and reporting ensure FDA Food Code temperature requirements compliance. We maintain coolers at ≤41°F for TCS foods and freezers at ≤0°F per FDA guidelines. Proper defrost cycles and superheat/subcool measurements maximize efficiency.

Energy-Saving Upgrades

EC Motors, Floating Head Pressure, Variable-Speed Fans

EC motors can reduce fan energy consumption by 10-20%. Floating head pressure strategies lower compressor kWh usage, while variable-speed fans adjust to load conditions for optimal efficiency. These upgrades can cut cooler energy use by 10-25% depending on load and ambient conditions.

LED Lighting, Strip Curtains, Insulation/Sealing

Energy efficiency improvements deliver measurable savings:

• EC motors: 10-20% fan energy savings

• Floating head pressure: lower compressor kWh

• LED lighting and door closers: reduced heat load

• Improved gaskets/strip curtains: cut infiltration

Compliance & Credentials

EPA Section 608 Leak Repair Rules & Recordkeeping

We maintain complete EPA Section 608 compliance with proper leak detection, repair documentation, and refrigerant recordkeeping. All repairs include required documentation for your compliance records.

TDLR-Licensed HVAC Contractors • Insurance & COI

Our technicians hold Texas TDLR HVAC License #[LICENSE NUMBER]. We're fully insured and can provide Certificates of Insurance (COI) upon request. All techs are background-checked and factory-trained.

Remote Monitoring & Temperature Alarms

Carel/Dixell Smart Controllers • 24/7 Alerts & Logs

We set up Carel and Dixell smart controllers with customized alert thresholds for your specific needs. Get 24/7 text/email notifications when temperatures exceed safe ranges, with cloud-based dashboards providing exportable logs for health inspections and audits.

Repair vs. Replacement

Age/Condition, Repair Frequency & Life-Cycle Cost

Systems 12-15+ years old with frequent repairs, obsolete refrigerants, or high energy consumption often benefit from replacement. We provide honest assessments based on repair history, current condition, and total cost of ownership.

R-404A Phase-Down Retrofits to R-448A/R-449A

R-404A retrofits to R-448A or R-449A deliver lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) and improved efficiency. These conversions typically provide positive ROI through reduced refrigerant costs and energy savings.

Pricing, Warranty & Financing

We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises:

• Diagnostic fee: credited toward repair when approved

• Typical labor rate: competitive hourly pricing

• Common parts ranges: gaskets ($50-200), motors ($300-800), TXVs ($200-500)
