What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Refrigeration contractors from Mbombela and White River service the packhouses of the Crocodile River valley, from Karino and Kaapmuiden down to Malelane and Komatipoort, where citrus, bananas and macadamias are cooled before transport. Cold room service is best booked before harvest. On the Highveld, mine canteens around Secunda and supermarkets in Ermelo need fast help when a display chiller fails. Mobile cold rooms are also hired for game meat in the Lowveld hunting season.
Fridges and refrigeration in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga is really two refrigeration markets. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Secunda and Middelburg, fridges sit in mine and power station towns where coal dust settles on condenser coils and winter nights drop below freezing. Down the escarpment in the Lowveld, the heat and humidity of Mbombela, White River and Hazyview make compressors work hard most of the year. Citrus, macadamia and banana farms need packhouse cold rooms, lodges near the Kruger gates keep bar fridges in every chalet, and butcheries and supermarkets in the bigger towns run display chillers all day. The usual requests are for fridges that will not cool in summer, cold room service before harvest, and chest freezers for farm and lodge kitchens.
Who asks for mobile cold rooms around Mpumalanga, most often first:

- Households: a hired chiller for a family wedding, funeral, umembeso or big braai
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: extra cold storage for a venue, lodge or guest farm on busy weekends
