Pretoria: heat, power and cold chains
Pretoria runs a few degrees warmer than Johannesburg, and that summer heat shows in its fridge work. Condensers on stoeps, in garages and behind shop counters struggle in long hot spells, and Highveld hail and lightning storms bring surges. The Tshwane fresh produce market in Pretoria West, the factories of Rosslyn, Silverton and Waltloo, and the large hospitals and government kitchens run serious refrigeration. Students in Hatfield and Sunnyside share flats with tired bar fridges and washing machines. Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Atteridgeville have spaza shops and taverns with display fridges and chest freezers. Homeowners in the east, landlords, caterers, factories and public institutions all ask for quotes.
Typical fridge door seals requests in the area come from:
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
