Newcastle notes on parts, gas & equipment

Refrigeration wholesalers and spares shops in Newcastle carry thermostats, relays, fans, door seals and common gases, though some compressors and condensing units are ordered from Durban or Gauteng. Technicians from Dundee, Utrecht and Volksrust often buy here. Chest freezers are a popular buy in Madadeni and Osizweni, where a frost-proof spot indoors helps them through the cold winters.

What keeps Newcastle cold

Newcastle sits in northern KwaZulu-Natal near the Free State and Mpumalanga borders, with hot summers, cold frosty winters and dust from coal mines and the steelworks. The town is built on heavy industry and manufacturing: a large steel plant, chemical works and many textile and clothing factories, which all need canteen and cold storage refrigeration. Homes in Newcastle's suburbs and the large townships of Madadeni and Osizweni keep fridges and chest freezers working hard, and spaza shops run bottle coolers on long hot days. Cattle farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser need cold rooms for meat. Households mostly need regassing or a new relay, while factories want someone on call.
