Fridges and refrigeration in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and heavy industry town on the Zululand coast, hot and humid for much of the year with salt air off the sea and the harbour. Aluminium smelting, the coal terminal, heavy minerals mining and timber and paper processing employ many people, and their canteens, offices and contractors' camps all need refrigeration. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood sit close to the sea, so condenser corrosion is common, while Esikhaleni and eNseleni have many spaza shops and taverns. Empangeni and Felixton are sugar cane and timber country. The most common requests are coil replacement, regassing, display cooler repairs and industrial cold room maintenance for food and canteen suppliers.
