Parts, gas & equipment in George: local notes
The George industrial area has appliance spares shops and refrigeration suppliers serving the Garden Route trade, with seals, thermostats, R600a, R134a and R404A cylinders and tools. Larger condensing units and panels may be ordered from Cape Town or Gqeberha. In the humid climate, ask for door seals made for the exact model rather than a cut-to-size seal, and for a coated coil on outdoor units near the sea.
George: heat, power and cold chains
George is the main service town of the Garden Route, so its refrigeration technicians cover a long stretch of coast and farmland. Dairy farms on the coastal plain run milk cooling tanks every day, and hop and vegetable farms around the Outeniqua foothills need cold rooms after picking. Holiday homes and guest houses in Wilderness, Herold's Bay and Victoria Bay fill up over December, when every fridge and freezer runs flat out at once. The climate is mild and humid, with rain in every season, so door seals grow mould and condensation drips in kitchens near the sea. Dairy farmers, guest house owners, holiday letting agents and households ask for repairs and services most.
Who asks for fridge gas around George, most often first:

- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: a technician sourcing gas for regassing several fridges across a block of flats
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: refrigerant for packhouse cold rooms and dairy milk cooling systems
