Our technicians come to Richmond for U-Line undercounter refrigerators, wine refrigerators, beverage centers, freezers and clear ice machines. Reserve online or by phone and we will confirm your three-hour arrival window in advance.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach U-Line diagnostics here.
Richmond was incorporated under the Republic of Texas in 1837, but most of its houses went up between 1940 and 1965. A small section, Richmond Landing, lies across the Brazos from the rest of the city.
Postwar frame and brick houses often have small, older kitchens, so a compact U-Line drawer or narrow undercounter unit is the usual fit. We measure the space and check ventilation and the outlet before we diagnose.
Five wells, each between 480 and 1,000 feet deep in the Gulf Coast Aquifer, supply Richmond, and a newer surface water treatment plant lets the city mix in treated river water. TCEQ rates the system as Superior.
Good source water still leaves scale in an ice machine over time. We descale the circuit, replace the filter and tell you how often to repeat it.
In June 2016 the Brazos peaked at 54.74 feet at Richmond; Harvey topped it at 55.19 feet. One neighborhood east of the river was among the hardest hit.
A unit that has stood in floodwater needs an inspection before anyone plugs it back in. We check the cabinet and wiring, and we tell you honestly if replacing it is the safer choice.
Owners of restored older homes sometimes fit modern conveniences into utility rooms, closets and pantries that were never meant for them. Postwar kitchens also tend to be small.
A U-Line refrigerator drawer or compact undercounter unit is well suited to that kind of tight space, as long as air can reach the front grille. We check clearance, the outlet condition and the water shut-off.
The Southwest Freeway and FM 359 bring us into Richmond, where parking near downtown is usually easy. Richmond lies farther from central Houston than the inner suburbs do, so we mostly book a day ahead and group neighboring calls to keep windows short. Give us the street and, for an older house, which room the unit is in.
In older Richmond houses, original wiring may share the panel with circuits added later. We look at the outlet type and the state of the cord and terminal before powering a unit for testing, because a loose or scorched connection is a genuine hazard. If the outlet needs work, an electrician should handle it first, and a corroded supply valve is a plumber’s job.
Sometimes, but it must be inspected before it is powered. We check the wiring, the cabinet and the cooling parts, and we tell you plainly if it is not safe to run.
About a day. Richmond falls in our outer service area, so we usually send a technician the next day and combine neighboring calls to hold your window down. Every repair is backed by a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Usually the drain is slow or the unit is not freezing. We check the drain line and the pump first, then the cooling cycle, and give a written price before replacing a part.
