What to know locally in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has refrigeration wholesalers and spares shops in Industria, Booysens and the inner city carrying compressors, condensing units, evaporators, gas and tools for technicians across Gauteng. Households buy door seals, thermostats and chest freezers, while spaza owners look for used display fridges. Many technicians collect R600a, R134a and R404A on the way to a job. Fitting a surge protector or delay plug when buying a new fridge or freezer is worth considering here.
What keeps Johannesburg cold
Johannesburg feeds a huge share of Gauteng, and a lot of that food passes through cold rooms. The fresh produce market at City Deep, the meat and wholesale trade around Industria, Denver and Booysens, and the restaurants of Melville, Maboneng and Braamfontein all depend on refrigeration that cannot stop. In the inner city, older blocks of flats in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville have small fridges that landlords replace or repair constantly. Soweto has thousands of spaza shops and taverns with display fridges. Highveld summer storms bring hail and lightning, and power cuts and surges damage compressors and boards across the city. Households, landlords, shop owners, caterers and cold stores all ask.
