What Shepherd's climate does to appliances
Shepherd averages a July high near 94°F and a January low around 39°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Conroe Montgomery County Airport station, 26 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. Shepherd also receives roughly 47.7" of precipitation a year — humid air makes dryers work harder and encourages musty washer drums.

Shepherd homes and the appliances in them
Only 13% of Shepherd 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. At a median home value of $144,100, the repair-versus-replace maths matters here: we give an upfront price first, and will say plainly when a unit is not worth fixing.
