Can you repair on site during trading hours?

Most repairs are done on site. We work around service times where possible and can arrange early or after-hours attendance.

What temperature should a commercial fridge hold?

Chilled food cabinets are generally set to hold product between 0°C and 5°C. We verify product temperature, not just the display reading.

Commercial Fridge Repairs in Melrose

What commercial fridge repairs actually involves

Commercial refrigeration failures are usually a chain: a blocked condenser raises head pressure, the compressor runs hot, the thermostat cycles wrongly and product temperature drifts. We check the whole chain — airflow, defrost, controls and charge — because replacing a thermostat on a choked condenser only buys a few weeks.

Because Melrose sits within our core Johannesburg footprint, routine visits here do not carry long-distance travel charges. We confirm parking, access control and after-hours arrangements before attending.
