Viking refrigeration, freezers, ice machines, ranges, cooktops, wall ovens and grills are what our crew fixes around San Leon. Contact us online or by phone; we answer with a three-hour window, typically tomorrow.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Viking diagnostics here.
Edward's Point was the first name, followed by North Galveston, where a hotel, railroad and dance pavilion stood by 1900. In 1912 a buyer from Chicago acquired the land, a naming contest gave us San Leon, and 6,135 people were counted on the 5,000 acres in 2020.
Older cottages and newer raised houses share the peninsula, so wiring age varies widely. We test the circuit and gas supply before any Viking range or freezer is blamed.
The community's water comes from San Leon MUD, which buys its treated supply from the Gulf Coast Water Authority. The Brazos River is the source; the Thomas S. Mackey plant in Texas City does the treating, and pipes carry it across mainland Galveston County.
Minerals can scale an ice machine and cloud its cubes. On those visits we flush the drain and change the filter.
Surrounded by water on three sides, San Leon gets salt air no matter which way the wind goes. Seafood freezers and ice machines frequently live outdoors or in sheds.
Fans, coils and hinges take a beating from heat and salt. Those parts get cleaned and inspected, gaskets get tested, and if a unit belongs indoors we say so.
Alongside the usual kitchen set, plenty of San Leon homes add a chest freezer or another refrigerator just for seafood. Newer raised houses tend to put the kitchen, with its gas or electric range, on the upper level.
Viking freezer and column units belong in a conditioned space, not a shed. We help you decide what stays and what moves.
FM 517 and FM 646 both lead to San Leon, which rides the same next-day route as Bacliff and Dickinson. A few bayside streets are tight, so point us to a good place for a van if the front of the house will not work. A data plate picture helps too.
Freezers in seafood households work hard. A warm catch loaded in one go keeps the compressor going for hours and frosts the coil, so chill first and freeze in small batches. Rapid frost after defrosting or a wet gasket is worth a call before the next trip, while a breaker that trips is for an electrician.
Warm seafood loaded all at once makes the compressor run for hours and frosts the coil. Chill it first, freeze in small batches and leave room for air.
Often the condenser can be cleaned and the fan tested, but heavy corrosion may need a part. We inspect first and quote in writing.
Point out where our van can sit clear of neighbors. Tomorrow is normal, and our work is warranted for 30 days.
