Viking ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, refrigerators, freezers and outdoor grills are what we repair in High Island. Contact us online or by phone and we set the visit ahead, with a three-hour window confirmed.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Viking diagnostics here.
Martin Dunman settled here in 1845, the post office opened in 1897, and the community had around 300 residents in 2014. Marsh oil was discovered in the 1930s, and some 200 flowing wells once encircled the dome.
Few households and long distances mean we plan each trip around the model and likely parts. Sending a data plate picture lets us choose what rides along.
The Bolivar Peninsula Special Utility District reaches High Island at its eastern limit. The district gave up groundwater wells in 2004 and now purchases treated surface water originating at a Lower Neches Valley Authority plant by Winnie.
A Viking ice machine or dishwasher that has turned cloudy or slow since then should have its filter checked first. We replace filters and flush drains.
Elevation puts many houses farther from tidal water than beach towns, though Gulf humidity and salt still arrive. Trees near the bird sanctuaries drop pollen and leaves.
Leaves and pollen clog outdoor condensers and refrigerator grilles. We clear and clean them and check door gaskets for humidity wear.
Practical full-size appliances rule in these homes, from the standard refrigerator to the 24-inch dishwasher. A separate freezer for the hunting and fishing seasons is common with some owners.
Heat and humidity are hard on a Viking freezer or refrigerator left on a porch or in a shed, so it needs shelter. We advise on location and airflow.
Winnie is nearer than Galveston to High Island, at the Highway 87 and Highway 124 junction, so our trucks usually come off I-10 and skip the ferry. We book ahead and group stops with the rest of the peninsula. During spring, say if you live beside a sanctuary so we can plan for parking.
Birders crowd the Houston Audubon sanctuaries at Smith Oaks and Louis Smith each spring, and roadside parking vanishes. On wooded lots, keep leaves and pollen off the lower grille of any refrigerator or freezer. Vacuuming the condenser now and then eases the compressor in July heat, and a breaker that trips needs an electrician.
Keep leaves and pollen off the grille and vacuum the condenser now and then. If it still runs nonstop, we test the fan, the door seal and the defrost parts.
Yes. Many models convert between propane and natural gas with the right kit, and we check the flame on every burner. If you smell gas, leave and call your gas supplier first.
Parking tightens near the sanctuaries, so tell us your location and we plan the arrival time. We schedule ahead, and our work is warranted for 30 days.
