Pretoria notes on cold rooms & commercial
Pretoria West around the Tshwane market, the factories of Rosslyn and Silverton, and cold stores in Waltloo run large refrigeration plants, while hospital and government kitchens need cold rooms that never stop. Restaurants in Hatfield, Brooklyn and Menlyn and butcheries in Pretoria North keep display fridges and walk-ins busy. Ask a refrigeration contractor for a planned service before summer and for a clear response time if a cold room fails.
Pretoria: heat, power and cold chains
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:
- 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
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: a back-of-shop chiller for drinks and dairy at a supermarket or bottle store
