Bellville: heat, power and cold chains
Bellville is where much of the northern suburbs' refrigeration trade is based, and it serves a very mixed market. Townhouse complexes in Tygervalley, Durbanville and Brackenfell call technicians for frost-free fridges with failed fans and defrost heaters. Student digs near the university campuses run bar fridges and small chest freezers hard. Around the Bellville taxi rank and Voortrekker Road, informal traders, takeaways and spaza shops depend on bottle coolers and second-hand display fridges. Further out, the industrial areas in Bellville South, Stikland and Kuils River hold distributors and cold stores. Summers in the northern suburbs are hotter than near the sea, so tired condensers struggle in January. Landlords, traders and families ask most.
The requests we see from Bellville usually come from:
- Households: the gas named on the sticker, charged by a qualified technician after the leak is fixed
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: a technician sourcing gas for regassing several fridges across a block of flats
- Shops, cafes and supermarkets: R290 or R134a for bottle cooler repairs done by the shop's service technician
