What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Willowton and Mkondeni are where most refrigeration wholesalers and spares shops in Pietermaritzburg work from, with some counters in the city centre. Technicians from Howick and Mooi River often buy here. Compressors, condensing units, door seals and refrigerant are usually available, though dairy-specific parts may be ordered. Chest freezers are popular with families in Edendale and Imbali and with Midlands farms that freeze their own meat.
What keeps Pietermaritzburg cold
Pietermaritzburg sits in a bowl in the Midlands, so summers in the city can be hot and muggy while winter nights bring frost, especially in Hilton and Howick above it. It is the provincial capital, with hospitals, schools, government offices and the university, all of which need kitchen and clinic refrigeration. The surrounding dairy belt around Howick, Mooi River and Nottingham Road keeps milk cooling tanks and cold rooms busy, and poultry farms near Camperdown need chilling and freezing. Edendale and Imbali have many spaza shops and taverns, and Scottsville has student digs. Requests swing between regassing a kitchen fridge in town and keeping a farm cold room steady through milking season.
Typical condensing units requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: units for packhouse and dairy cold rooms that run through harvest
- Households: a small chiller unit for a home business baking or catering from the garage
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: a condensing unit and evaporator for a restaurant walk-in chiller
