Why garage freezers struggle in summer
Many freezers here sit in an attached garage. In summer that garage can get far hotter than the house. The compressor, the pump that moves the cold, then runs almost nonstop. Damp air sneaks in each time the lid or door opens. That moisture turns to frost on the cooling coils. On frost-free models, a bad defrost heater lets ice choke the fan. Worn door seals let even more warm air inside.
What happens during a freezer visit
Our tech reads the temperature inside before touching anything. Our meter then checks the defrost heater, timer and thermostat in turn. The condenser coils get a look for dust and pet hair. We listen to the compressor and check the start relay, a small switch that kicks it on. Then you hear a firm price before any work begins. Gaskets, fan motors and defrost heaters are modest parts to replace. A failed compressor in an old chest freezer often is not.
The week the power went out in 2021
In February 2021, a run of winter storms swept across Texas. More than 4.5 million homes and businesses lost power, some for several days. Harris County service was back to normal around February 22. A full freezer holds its cold for about two days with the door shut. A half full one lasts about a day. If your Northgate freezer has acted odd since an outage, we can test it.
Northgate callers often find a puddle under the garage freezer or a lid that will not seal. Others hear the motor run all day while food softens. A thawed freezer can mean a costly trip to restock. Our tech swaps the worn part and stays until the cabinet is cold again.
