Parts, gas & equipment in Bloemfontein: local notes
Refrigeration wholesalers and appliance spares shops in the Hamilton and East End industrial areas and the city centre supply technicians across the Free State with compressors, gas, condensing units, panels and tools. Farmers from Bainsvlei and further out often collect parts in town by bakkie. Chest freezers for beef and game sell well. Ask for freezer models that work in a cold garage if yours stands outside the kitchen.
What keeps Bloemfontein cold
Bloemfontein is the Free State's main city, and it sits in the middle of maize, beef and dairy country, so its refrigeration trade serves both a large city and the farms around it. Abattoirs, meat processors, dairies and food distributors in the industrial areas run cold rooms and blast freezers. The university, hospitals and government offices add kitchens and medical fridges. Households in Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and Heidedal, and in Mangaung, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, call for fridges and chest freezers after power cuts. Highveld summers are hot, with storms, and winters bring hard frost, which can stall fridges in outside rooms. Households, butcheries, farmers and public facilities ask most.
