Fridges and refrigeration in George
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.

Typical refrigeration repairs requests in the area come from:
- Households: a kitchen fridge, garage freezer or bar fridge that has stopped holding temperature
- Landlords, guest houses and B&Bs: fridges and freezers in flats, guest houses and holiday units between bookings
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: dairy coolers, produce chillers and freezers on farms and at packhouses
