What freezer room installation actually involves

Freezer rooms are unforgiving of shortcuts. Without adequate floor insulation the slab beneath can heave; without door heaters and a properly timed defrost the doorway ices solid within days. We specify panel thickness, floor build-up, drain heating and defrost strategy for the actual holding temperature rather than reusing a chiller specification.

Our Johannesburg technicians carry the common spares for this type of work, which means many Rivonia jobs are completed in a single visit instead of waiting on a return trip.
