What to know locally in Upington
In Upington, Paballelo and Louisvale, fridges in kitchens without much airflow often cannot keep up on summer afternoons, and compressors and fans wear out early. Leave a generous gap around the fridge, keep it out of direct sun and away from the stove, and clean the coils often during dust season. Technicians from town also drive to Keimoes and Kakamas, so ask how travel is charged.
Fridges and refrigeration in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, and it is one of the hottest towns in the country, with summer days that can top 40 °C. A green ribbon of irrigated farms along the river grows table grapes for export and grapes for raisins and sultanas, and packhouses and cold stores near Kakamas, Keimoes and Kanoneiland run hard from late spring. Wine cellars cool their tanks in the same heat. In town and in Paballelo, fridges in hot kitchens and outside rooms run nonstop and fail early. Dust storms clog coils. Packhouses, farmers, households, butcheries and guest houses for Kalahari travellers ask most.
Typical freezer repairs requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a farm freezer storing game meat and produce far from the nearest town
- Households: a garage chest freezer full of meat bought in bulk that has stopped freezing
- Factories and cold stores: a canteen's chest freezers at a mine or factory kitchen
