We repair Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers and wine storage in High Island homes, approaching from I-10 through Winnie. Book online or by phone, and we group your visit with other Bolivar Peninsula calls.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Sub-Zero diagnostics here.
Martin Dunman settled here in 1845, and a post office followed in 1897. The 1930s brought oil discoveries in the marshes nearby, and roughly 200 flowing wells eventually ringed the dome.
Around 300 people lived here in 2014, so nearly every call is to a family home rather than a rental. We schedule High Island visits so a household's main refrigerator is not left down for days.
This is the last town on the east side of the peninsula's special utility district. Wells supplied the district until 2004, when it began buying a treated surface supply from the Lower Neches Valley Authority near Winnie.
Surface water is gentler on a Sub-Zero ice maker than old well water was, so slow ice here usually means an aged filter. We replace it and check the inlet valve flow before looking at the ice maker itself.
The elevation keeps many homes out of reach of the tides that hit the beach communities, but Gulf humidity and salt still find them. Wooded lots near the bird sanctuaries drop pollen and leaves all season.
That debris collects in the condenser of outdoor and garage Sub-Zero units and makes the compressor run longer. A quick vacuum of the coil each season helps, and we clean it thoroughly during any visit.
Kitchens on the island are mostly plain and practical, built around full-size equipment. A stand-alone freezer for the hunting and fishing months shows up in some homes as well.
A hunting-season freezer packed with fresh game runs nonstop for hours and can frost over. Let meat chill first and keep space around the unit; if frost or constant running continues, we test the gasket and defrost system.
Our trucks come by way of I-10 and Winnie rather than the ferry, since the junction of Highways 87 and 124 is much nearer that side. Each spring, birders fill Smith Oaks and Louis Smith, the two Houston Audubon sanctuaries, and roadside parking gets tight. If you live near them, mention it at booking and we will time the arrival and plan where to park.
Wooded lots and spring pollen clog outdoor condensers faster than on open beach lots. If a Sub-Zero runs constantly in summer, we clean the condenser and test the fan before checking the sealed system. If the unit cycles off and on while the lights flicker, an electrician should check the service to the house first.
No. Peninsula calls are bundled, and the drive usually runs down from I-10 via Winnie. Give us your address and we offer the next peninsula route day.
Confirm the door closes firmly, vacuum the coil and leave air on all sides. If it keeps running anyway, we test the gasket and defrost system.
Mostly it affects parking near the sanctuaries. We settle on an arrival time with you in advance.
