Parts, gas & equipment in Upington: local notes
Upington has appliance spares shops and some refrigeration stock for seals, thermostats, relays and common gases, while larger condensing units, cold room panels and some compressors are ordered from Kimberley or Cape Town and can take several days. Farms along the river should keep a spare fan motor and contactor on hand before harvest. Chest freezers sell well, but ask for a hot climate rating and keep them in shade.
What keeps Upington cold
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.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: a seal for the chest freezer in the farm store or packhouse
- Households: a new seal for a fridge that frosts up and runs all day
- Factories and cold stores: door gaskets for walk-in coolers and canteen fridges
