What makes fridges struggle in Houston heat
Long hot summers make the compressor run for many hours a day. The compressor is the pump that moves cold through the system. Dust on the condenser coils, the grille under or behind the fridge, makes it work harder. Busy families open the door often, which lets warm air in. Defrost heaters fail and the coils freeze into a block of ice. Ice makers jam and water lines crack behind the unit.
How we find the real cause
A probe thermometer sits in each compartment for a true reading. Then we check the fans, the defrost parts and the start relay. The relay is the small switch that kicks the compressor on. We clean the coils if dust is part of the problem. You see the price before any part is ordered. Fans, relays and defrost parts are usually fair to replace. When an aging unit has lost its refrigerant, we usually suggest buying new.
Bigger homes, bigger food loads
Spring Branch North has plenty of room for families. Census estimates count 2,910 three-bedroom homes here. Another 2,116 have four bedrooms, and 293 have five or more. Houses that size often feed four or five people. A full fridge opened all day has to work hard to stay cold. Some homes also run a second fridge in the garage. Garage units bake in summer heat and wear out sooner.
Households in Spring Branch North often call after losing a full load of groceries. One warm night can mean tossing most of what was inside. Water on the floor can damage the flooring too. We locate the weak part, replace it and wait until both sections hold a safe temperature.
