What to know locally in Cape Town
Epping, Montague Gardens and Airport Industria hold most of the city's refrigeration wholesalers, with compressors, R404A and R134a cylinders, condensing units, cold room panels and tools for the trade. Appliance spares shops in Parow, Wynberg and Bellville handle thermostats, seals and fans for homes. On the seaboard, ask for coated or marine grade condenser coils on new condensing units, and for stainless fittings on outdoor units.
Fridges and refrigeration in Cape Town
Cape Town's refrigeration work stretches from the fishing harbours to the fresh produce trade. Fish processors and freezer stores around the harbour, Hout Bay and Kalk Bay depend on blast freezers and cold rooms, while the Epping market feeds a ring of cold stores, distributors and ripening rooms. Restaurants on Bree Street and along the Atlantic seaboard run walk-ins and under-counter fridges flat out in the summer season. At home, salt air on the seaboard and the False Bay coast corrodes condenser coils and fan motors, and the south-easter pushes dust and sand behind fridges on the Cape Flats. Restaurants, landlords with holiday flats, spaza owners and households ask most.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
- Restaurants, butcheries and caterers: replacement gaskets on kitchen fridges and freezers that inspectors check
- Factories and cold stores: door gaskets for walk-in coolers and canteen fridges
Local tips for Cape Town
Common here: restaurant cold rooms in summer, and corroded coils on fridges near the sea. Ask each technician or supplier about this: ask for a coil clean and a corrosion check on any fridge or unit within sight of the sea. Where they work from: wholesalers and contractors in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Ndabeni.
Fridge Door Seals usually suits fridges, freezers, shop fridges and cold rooms, done like this: moulded for the model, or cut and corner-welded. For households, the biggest group here, that usually means a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day. On the weather side: hot dry summers with a strong south-easter; wet winters bring damp to kitchens.
