We work in Abilene and the small towns around it. Here is where we go, what to expect on arrival and what the local water and weather mean for your appliances.
Which areas do we serve?
Abilene is our home base, and we cover the towns within a short drive. The table below gives arrival notes and the local conditions that affect appliances in each area.
| Area | Arrival notes | Local conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Abilene | Our home base. Fastest scheduling, from north Abilene to the south side near Loop 322 and Buffalo Gap Road. | Hard water, 95 days a year over 90 degrees, hail and spring storm surges. |
| Tye | A short drive west on Interstate 20. We schedule it as an Abilene area visit. | Town water and wind blown dust. Heat and dust hit fridge coils and dryer vents. |
| Merkel | About 15 miles west on I 20 and old Highway 80. Booked in an arrival window. | Water arrangements differ from Abilene. Many older homes with long dryer vents. |
| Buffalo Gap | South of Abilene along Buffalo Gap Road. Booked in a window. | Well and town water vary by address, so mineral build up varies. |

What local conditions affect appliances in the Abilene area?
Hard water
Abilene water from Fort Phantom Hill, Hubbard Creek and O.H. Ivie runs around 240 mg/L. Scale clogs ice makers, dishwasher valves and washer inlet screens.
Heat
About 95 days a year over 90 degrees stress fridge compressors and dryers, especially in garages and laundry closets.
Storm surges and hail
Spring storms trip breakers and fry control boards. A surge protector on the fridge and washer is cheap protection.
Dust and wind
Fine West Texas dust packs fridge coils and dryer vents. Cleaning them twice a year is the cheapest repair there is.
Older homes
Elmwood and Abilene Heights have many 1950s and 60s homes with tight laundry closets, long vent runs and small appliance openings.
Military and student housing
Dyess families and ACU, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry renters often face older appliances. We repair when it makes sense and say so when it does not.
What should I do before the visit?
- Have the brand, model and age ready. A photo of the model tag saves a trip.
- Note the symptom and any error code on the display.
- Clear a path to the appliance and pull it away from the wall if you can.
- Tell us if you are a renter so we can coordinate with your landlord.
- Ask about the military labor discount if it applies.
