What Westchase does
to a refrigerator.

It is governed by a community development district together with homeowner associations, so streets, gates and common areas are managed collectively rather than by the county alone.

It lies in unincorporated Hillsborough County, so county permitting applies here rather than a city's.

Newer developments

New construction problems here are more often installation than appliance — a water line not purged before first use, a leveling foot never adjusted — the sort of thing that shows up as a cooling complaint in the first year and never again.

Family houses

The refrigerator in a family house is the most-used appliance in it and the least-inspected. Shelves are loaded to the back wall, which covers the vents; the door is opened while somebody decides what they want, which loads the cabinet with warm air; and the drain at the bottom of the freezer quietly stops clearing. None of the three is expensive and all three end as a cooling complaint.

Outdoor kitchens

Direct sun on a dark cabinet raises the internal temperature the compressor has to fight well past what the same unit would see indoors, and that alone shortens compressor life even on units properly rated for outdoor duty.
