What Greater Heights does
to a freezer.

The land sits 23 feet higher than Houston, which in its early years drew buyers away from a city troubled by flooding and yellow fever.

After World War II industry moved in, and some of the houses were cut up into apartments as upkeep declined.

Houston's lowest recorded temperature, 5°F, came on January 18, 1930.

All of Houston

Older housing stock

In a cellar the freezer shares the air with a boiler in winter and damp foundation walls in summer, so it meets two different rooms in one year, and a unit that ran fine in January and struggles in July is sorted between the room and the part.

Apartments and small homes

In a small apartment the freezer is often a compact upright in a closet or a hallway nook, where the heat it gives off through its walls or rear coil has nowhere to go, and a closet door kept shut all day turns that nook into a warm box the compressor never catches up with.

Mixed housing

In the older houses on a mixed block the freezer may share a circuit with a sump pump or a washer, and a tripping breaker is traced to that circuit before the freezer's compressor takes the blame.
