What keeps Free State cold
The Free State has a climate of extremes for fridges. Bloemfontein and Welkom swing from hot summer afternoons to frosty winter nights, and on the eastern highlands around Bethlehem and Harrismith snow is not unusual. Fridges and chest freezers kept in garages and outside rooms can stop starting in deep cold, then struggle in January heat. Grain and cattle farms keep freezers full of meat, the goldfields towns around Welkom have many spaza shops and taverns, and Clarens is full of guest houses and restaurants. Trucks on the N1 and N3 stop at forecourt shops with long rows of bottle coolers. Repairs to freezers, regassing and display cooler work make up most requests.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Households: a second-hand bottle cooler or upright freezer for a home business or braai area
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: chillers and freezers for farm stalls, dairies and produce packhouses
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: bottle coolers, multidecks and freezers in spaza shops, forecourts and supermarkets
Local tips for Free State
Common here: chest freezers and garage fridges that struggle in winter frost and summer heat. Ask each technician or supplier about this: ask whether a fridge or freezer is rated for a cold garage before you buy. Where they work from: bloemfontein, especially Hamilton, plus Welkom, Kroonstad and Bethlehem.
Around Free State the largest group asking is households, which usually means a second-hand bottle cooler or upright freezer for a home business or braai area. Before you agree to anything: ask about refrigerant and parts availability. Keep in mind: frost in Harrismith and Bethlehem, summer heat and dust around Welkom.
