About 8,600 people live in Highlands, an unincorporated community on the east bank of the San Jacinto north of I-10. The name reflects a bank higher than the far shore. It is a tight-knit river town alongside an industrial corridor.
What turns up in Highlands homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
A depot on the Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway existed here by 1908. Voters incorporated briefly in 1930, but the charter was thrown out, and another try in 1956 failed. Military personnel and war-plant workers lived in town during World War II, and growth continued afterward, always without cityhood.
Highlands is one of the places supplied with treated water by the Baytown Area Water Authority. The source is Trinity River water that Houston sells and a Coastal Water Authority canal moves to Baytown's plant. See the authority's report before changing a dishwasher's hardness dial.
In October 1994 a flooded San Jacinto caught fire after pipeline breaks released fuel, and at least three flooded houses in a Highlands subdivision burned. A quarter of the area is water, so river levels count. Garage freezers should stay off the floor.
Detached garages and attached workshops are common, so garage freezers and spare refrigerators get hard use. Inside, we service Thermador ranges, wall ovens and dishwashers, and we advise on keeping garage refrigeration alive through summer heat.
Highlands lies off I-10 at Crosby Lynchburg Road or FM 2100, and it fits on our eastern circuit with Channelview and Baytown. Most appointments happen inside a day or two.
In summer heat a garage is rough on any refrigerator or freezer. Dust builds up on condenser coils, door seals dry out, and compressors run nearly nonstop. Vacuum the coils twice a year, leave a few inches of air space behind and above, and swap a gasket that cannot hold a sheet of paper. Replacing the water filter on schedule helps too. Such habits are frequently the true reason a freezer struggles. If a part has really failed, we diagnose it, put the price on paper, and wait for your go-ahead.
Heat lengthens running time on any unit. Clean the coils, leave clearance and check the seal. If it still never cycles off, we test the fan, thermostat and compressor start parts.
Yes, both lie on our eastern circuit along with Baytown. A visit within a day or two is common, and your nearest cross street helps us plan the route.
