## Notes

- [Repair or replace a built-in](https://subzerorepairorangepark.com/notes/repair-or-replace-a-built-in/): Replacement is not a like-for-like swap when the unit is framed into joinery. That single fact moves the break-even point a long way.
- [What a storm outage actually does](https://subzerorepairorangepark.com/notes/what-a-storm-outage-does/): A board that dies cleanly is the easy case. The one that half-survives will waste months of your time and someone else's parts budget.
- [Why we work on one brand](https://subzerorepairorangepark.com/notes/why-only-one-brand/): One manufacturer, one product category, no cooking equipment and no air conditioning. The scope is deliberate and so is the disclaimer that goes with it.
- [The condenser and the dog](https://subzerorepairorangepark.com/notes/the-condenser-and-the-dog/): The most expensive thing in your kitchen is being slowly insulated by your dog, and the first symptom is usually the ice.
- [Why the ice goes first](https://subzerorepairorangepark.com/notes/why-the-ice-goes-first/): The ice maker is usually the messenger, not the fault. Reading it as the fault is how households end up buying three parts to fix one problem.

**Scope.** We are a kitchen refrigeration company, not a heating and cooling contractor. Furnaces, heat pumps, air handlers, central and mini-split air conditioning, thermostats and ductwork are a different trade under a different licence, and we do not work on any of them, quote for them, or subcontract them. Inside the kitchen the line is just as firm: no ovens, cooktops, ranges or ventilation hoods, no dishwashers, no laundry, and no refrigeration built by another manufacturer.
