Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work
Under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, technicians who maintain, service or repair equipment that could release refrigerant into the air must hold EPA Section 608 certification; small appliances such as household refrigerators fall under the Type 1 category.

Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature

Local Notes for Hudson
Most freezer calls in Hudson come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.
