We treat it as a critical callout and aim to reach Stellenbosch within 60–90 min. Our technician works through the electrical, refrigerant and airflow side of the fault in turn, then proves the repair.

Industry context
Butcheries
In a butchery, not cooling moves from nuisance to operational risk very quickly. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We plan the fix to end the risk, not just the symptom.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so not cooling is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your freezer room to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of not cooling in butcheries cold chains.
