Midrand: heat, power and cold chains

Cold chain depots, food and pharmaceutical distributors and logistics firms around Waterfall, Allandale and Halfway House run large cold rooms, freezer rooms and refrigerated loading docks. Newer flats and townhouses in Vorna Valley, Noordwyk and Carlswald are full of tenants, so landlords ask for fridge and washing machine repairs often. Kyalami and Glen Austin have estates and smallholdings with garage freezers. Ivory Park and Ebony Park nearby have spaza shops with display fridges. Highveld storms bring hail and surges, and power cuts test warehouse backup plans.
