What Von Ormy's climate does to appliances
Von Ormy averages a July high near 96°F and a January low around 41°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, San Antonio Kelly Air Force Base station, 8 mi away). With 7 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.

Von Ormy homes and the appliances in them
About 16.4% of Von Ormy 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. A further 16.4% 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 50% of units here are single-family detached, so a large share of our Von Ormy work is apartments and condos: stacked washer-dryers and compact under-counter units. At a median home value of $77,100, the repair-versus-replace maths matters here: we give an upfront price first, and will say plainly when a unit is not worth fixing.

When do appliances fail most often in Von Ormy?
Refrigeration calls in Von Ormy peak from late spring through early autumn — 7 months average 80°F or hotter and a July high near 96°F forces refrigerators into near-continuous cycles.
Is it safe to keep a refrigerator or freezer in my garage in Von Ormy?
Heat is the concern. With July highs near 96°F, a standard refrigerator in an uninsulated garage runs well beyond its rated ambient range — usually ending in a burned-out condenser fan or early compressor failure.
Are older homes in Von Ormy harder to fit modern appliances into?
Sometimes. Roughly 16.4% of Von Ormy homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS), and in those the appliance opening and the circuit are worth measuring before buying a replacement.
