George: heat, power and cold chains
George is the main service town of the Garden Route, so its refrigeration technicians cover a long stretch of coast and farmland. Dairy farms on the coastal plain run milk cooling tanks every day, and hop and vegetable farms around the Outeniqua foothills need cold rooms after picking. Holiday homes and guest houses in Wilderness, Herold's Bay and Victoria Bay fill up over December, when every fridge and freezer runs flat out at once. The climate is mild and humid, with rain in every season, so door seals grow mould and condensation drips in kitchens near the sea. Dairy farmers, guest house owners, holiday letting agents and households ask for repairs and services most.
Typical cold rooms requests in the area come from:
- Households: a small walk-in chiller for game meat or a home catering business
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: a shared cold room for a lodge, guest farm or wedding venue kitchen
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: produce, milk and meat cold rooms on farms, packhouses and abattoirs
