What keeps Pretoria cold
Pretoria runs a few degrees warmer than Johannesburg, and that summer heat shows in its fridge work. Condensers on stoeps, in garages and behind shop counters struggle in long hot spells, and Highveld hail and lightning storms bring surges. The Tshwane fresh produce market in Pretoria West, the factories of Rosslyn, Silverton and Waltloo, and the large hospitals and government kitchens run serious refrigeration. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside share flats with tired bar fridges and washing machines. Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Atteridgeville have spaza shops and taverns with display fridges and chest freezers. Homeowners in the east, landlords, caterers, factories and public institutions all ask for quotes.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:

- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: small chest freezers for self-catering units and holiday lets
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a lockable freezer for ice, frozen chicken and ice lollies at a spaza
