Near the medical center, we repair Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers, wine storage and ice makers in Braeswood ranch houses and rebuilds. Book online and request the 9 to 12 or 4 to 7 slot if you work shifts.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Sub-Zero diagnostics here.
The biggest of the Braeswood Place tracts, Braes Heights, went up between 1947 and 1952 as ranch houses, with its homeowners association chartered in 1951. About 2,200 single-family homes sit in the area, while apartment complexes contribute thousands of additional units.
Ranch kitchens here were laid out for small refrigerators, while rebuilds were often designed around integrated columns. Knowing which type you live in tells us what opening to expect.
City of Houston water reaches Braeswood as treated lake and river water blended with some groundwater. Its minerals leave scale wherever water stands.
On a Sub-Zero, that scale narrows the ice maker fill tube and the water valve over time. When cubes shrink, we replace the filter and check flow at the valve before ordering parts.
In 2001 Tropical Storm Allison put water into roughly 500 of Braeswood's 2,200 houses, about one in five. Many of those were demolished, and Colonial, Tudor and stucco two-story houses took their place.
In those rebuilds the garage often sits at the lowest point, so a garage freezer is the first unit to meet floodwater. If one got wet, we inspect wiring and controls before it runs again, and an electrician checks the circuit.
Post-flood two-story houses in Braeswood commonly carry premium built-in kitchens. Remaining ranch houses keep simpler layouts with smaller openings.
A built-in column in a rebuild is anchored to the framing, so pulling it out needs care with the anti-tip bracket. We check the anchor, the level and the door closure before replacing a gasket.
We reach Braeswood from the South Loop, Stella Link and Kirby Drive, and Braeswood Boulevard along the bayou links the east and west sections. Many residents work shifts at the medical center. Tell us your shift pattern when booking, and add a model plate photo so the right parts come on the first trip.
Houses rebuilt after Allison have newer wiring, while remaining ranches may still run a built-in on an older circuit. We check outlet voltage and water pressure before testing the compressor or the board. If the circuit or the shutoff is the weak spot, an electrician or plumber should fix it first.
Yes. Choose the 9 to 12, 1 to 4 or 4 to 7 window that fits, and the technician calls ahead.
Keep it unplugged until we have inspected the wiring and machine compartment so it does not short when restarted.
Usually, since it sits inside the Loop. The price is in writing before work begins.
