What Moonshine's climate does to appliances
Moonshine averages a July high near 91°F and a January low around 46°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, New Orleans Airport station, 32 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. Moonshine also receives roughly 63.3" of precipitation a year — humid air makes dryers work harder and encourages musty washer drums.

Moonshine homes and the appliances in them
Only 0% of Moonshine homes were built before 1960 (US Census ACS 5-year). The housing stock is comparatively modern, so most repairs involve current-generation appliances — control boards, inverter compressors and sensor faults rather than dated wiring. A further 71.7% were built in 2010 or later — those homes are now reaching the 10-to-15-year window where original builder-grade appliances start to fail. Only 21.7% of units here are single-family detached, so a large share of our Moonshine work is apartments and condos: stacked washer-dryers and compact under-counter units.
