What New Deal's climate does to appliances
New Deal averages a July high near 93°F and a January low around 27°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Lubbock station, 6 mi away). With 5 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. January lows dip to about 27°F, so unheated garages can see occasional freezing. At roughly 18.3" of precipitation a year the air is dry, which is easy on dryers but hard on door seals that dry out and crack.

New Deal homes and the appliances in them
About 31.7% of New Deal homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS 5-year), so a meaningful share of calls involve older kitchens — dated outlets, narrower appliance openings and aging shutoff valves. Only 47.7% of units here are single-family detached, so a large share of our New Deal work is apartments and condos: stacked washer-dryers and compact under-counter units.

When do appliances fail most often in New Deal?
Refrigeration calls in New Deal peak from late spring through early autumn — 5 months average 80°F or hotter and a July high near 93°F forces refrigerators into near-continuous cycles.
Is it safe to keep a refrigerator or freezer in my garage in New Deal?
Cold is the concern. January lows around 27°F can drop a garage below what a standard refrigerator handles; because many models sense temperature only in the fresh-food section, the compressor stops and the freezer quietly thaws.
Can freezing weather damage my washer or ice maker in New Deal?
Occasionally. New Deal averages January lows near 27°F, so a hard cold snap can freeze an ice-maker line or washer hose in an unheated space. Insulating exposed lines before winter is worthwhile.
Are older homes in New Deal harder to fit modern appliances into?
Sometimes. Roughly 31.7% of New Deal homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS), and in those the appliance opening and the circuit are worth measuring before buying a replacement.
