Cold rooms & commercial in Newcastle: local notes

Newcastle's steelworks, chemical plants and textile factories have canteens and stores that rely on refrigeration contractors. Butcheries and supermarkets in the town centre and in Madadeni need reliable display chillers and cold rooms, and farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser keep beef cold. Ask contractors about their response time for a failure, and about planned service visits for factory cold rooms.

Newcastle: heat, power and cold chains

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.
