Every December, property managers and hosts across Georgetown, Sun City, Cimarron Hills, Wolf Ranch, River Ridge, and Round Rock see the same spike:
More guests. More laundry. More food storage. More appliance failures.
And despite what most people assume, it’s not the oven that causes the most emergency calls.
In Georgetown rentals, washers fail the most during the holidays —
and refrigerators cost owners the most when they fail.
Two different appliances.
Two different kinds of damage.
One very expensive season if you don’t stay ahead of it.
1. Washers: The Most Common Holiday Failure in Georgetown STRs
Holiday renters behave differently than normal guests:
They wash clothes after traveling
They wash bedding mid-stay
They wash every towel from every guest
They run 4–8 loads per day
They overload machines with blankets and winter items
This turns Georgetown washers into December overtime employees.
The most frequent holiday season washer failures:
• burned-out drain pumps
• unbalanced loads shaking the entire laundry closet
• bearings failing under heavy loads
• over-sudsing from incorrect detergent
• clogged filters from lint-packed holiday linens
A washer failure means:
missed turnovers
delayed cleaners
upset guests
same-day emergency calls
It happens constantly in December — far more than any other month.
2. Refrigerators: The Most Expensive Holiday Failure
If the washer is the loud breakdown,
the refrigerator is the quiet one that drains your revenue.
Refrigerators in Georgetown rentals experience:
• constant door openings
• overloaded holiday groceries
• warm dishes placed inside
• defrost systems overworked
• ice-maker leaks accelerated in winter humidity
Holiday guests store:
large casseroles
party trays
bottles that block airflow
leftovers packed tightly
This suffocates refrigerator circulation, triggering:
• uneven cooling
• frozen evaporators
• spoiled food
• guest complaints
• refunds (the most expensive part)
A warm fridge on December 23rd can cost:
a $300 refund
two calendar cancellations
a 4-star review that hurts January bookings
This is why refrigerators remain the top financial liability for rental owners.
Why Georgetown Rentals Break Faster Than Owner Homes During the Holidays
Holiday STR traffic amplifies appliance stress:
3× more washer cycles
2–4× more refrigerator usage
tight turnover windows
guests ignoring early warning signs
cleaners too rushed to inspect machines
Your appliances are not living a homeowner lifestyle.
They’re living a hotel lifestyle without a hotel maintenance team.
