What Chauvin's climate does to appliances
Chauvin averages a July high near 91°F and a January low around 46°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, New Orleans Airport station, 43 mi away). With 6 months averaging 80°F or hotter, refrigerators and freezers run long compressor cycles for much of the year — which is why cooling faults, worn door gaskets and overworked condenser fans lead our call volume here. Chauvin also receives roughly 63.3" of precipitation a year — humid air makes dryers work harder and encourages musty washer drums.
