Richmond, from downtown to the newer streets, can book us for Viking ranges, rangetops, wall ovens, hoods, refrigerators and ice machines. Reserve online or phone in, and a three-hour arrival slot is set for you.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Viking diagnostics here.
Richmond received its charter from the Republic of Texas in 1837, yet the bulk of its housing went up between 1940 and 1965. Frame and brick postwar houses frequently come with small, original kitchens.
Placing a Viking range or built-in refrigerator in such a room comes down to inches and weight. We measure the cutout, inspect the floor and gas connector, and put what the job requires in writing.
Five wells reaching the Gulf Coast Aquifer, 480 to 1,000 feet down, feed the city, and a surface water treatment plant mixes treated river water into what they pump. TCEQ rates the system Superior.
Blended water can still leave a mineral film in a Viking dishwasher or an undercounter ice machine. Filter, inlet screen and drain line are checked before any pump or valve.
In June 2016 the Brazos crested here at 54.74 feet, and Harvey pushed it to 55.19. Some of the heaviest damage landed in a neighborhood on the east bank of the river.
Any Viking refrigerator, wine unit or range that sat in floodwater should be examined before anyone switches it on. We check wiring, controls and the base, and an electrician is the right call when the circuit is in doubt.
Owners restoring older houses commonly keep the original layout, with a modest kitchen and a compact utility room. Richmond Landing, a small section, lies across the river.
Where ventilation allows, a Viking cooktop and undercounter refrigeration fit these kitchens better than a full-size range. Send a photo of the opening and we confirm clearances and feed before we arrive.
The Southwest Freeway and FM 359 bring us to Richmond, and downtown is usually easy to park in. The town is beyond the inner suburbs, which is why most visits land on the following day. A cross street and an image of the data plate with your request help us prepare.
Original wiring and later circuits sometimes coexist in older Richmond houses. Before hooking up a Viking range, we examine the outlet type and the cord connection, because a loose or scorched terminal is dangerous. If the outlet needs repair, an electrician handles it before we finish.
Have it inspected before power or gas is restored. We test controls, igniters and wiring and say what must be replaced.
The condenser fan, coil and controls. Give it a few hours with the door shut, and call if it stays warm.
Generally a day, since we cluster it with nearby jobs. Pricing is put in writing first, and our work carries a 30-day warranty.
