Alberton: heat, power and cold chains
Alberton splits neatly into two kinds of refrigeration work. Alrode, one of the larger industrial areas south of Johannesburg, has factories, food plants, workshops and warehouses with cold rooms, process chillers and canteens. On the residential side, estates in Meyersdal and Brackenhurst hold large kitchens with side by side and built-in fridges, wine coolers and ice makers that need technicians who can work on inverter compressors and electronic boards. New Redruth is the shopping hub, with delis and takeaways that run display fridges, while Thokoza has spaza shops, taverns and family freezers. Summer heat and storm surges hit all of them. Plant managers, estate homeowners, landlords and shopkeepers ask most.
