Bellville: heat, power and cold chains
Bellville is where much of the northern suburbs' refrigeration trade is based, and it serves a very mixed market. Townhouse complexes in Tygervalley, Durbanville and Brackenfell call technicians for frost-free fridges with failed fans and defrost heaters. Student digs near the university campuses run bar fridges and small chest freezers hard. Around the Bellville taxi rank and Voortrekker Road, informal traders, takeaways and spaza shops depend on bottle coolers and second-hand display fridges. Further out, the industrial areas in Bellville South, Stikland and Kuils River hold distributors and cold stores. Summers in the northern suburbs are hotter than near the sea, so tired condensers struggle in January. Landlords, traders and families ask most.
Typical fridge door seals requests in the area come from:
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: seals for tenants' fridges at the end of a lease inspection
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: glass door seals for bottle coolers opened hundreds of times a day
