Fridge repairs & regassing in Hout Bay. Domestic, restaurant fridges, cold rooms, walk in freezers & commercial refrigeration. Fast local service with warranty
Hout Bay is a unique coastal community built around its harbour, fishing industry, residential estates, and tourism sector. Refrigeration systems here operate under constant exposure to salt air, high humidity, and heavy usage from seafood storage and hospitality operations.
Glotech Appliance provides professional fridge repairs in Hout Bay, covering both domestic refrigeration systems and commercial refrigeration units, including cold rooms and walk-in freezers. With over 12 years of industrial refrigeration experience, we focus on technically accurate repairs that withstand coastal conditions.
All repairs are backed by a 6-month warranty on parts and a 4-month workmanship guarantee.
Refrigeration systems in Hout Bay face specific environmental and operational pressures:
Salt Air Corrosion: Proximity to the ocean accelerates corrosion on condenser coils, fan motors, exposed terminals, and copper piping. Without proper maintenance, efficiency drops and compressor strain increases.
Seafood & Fishing Load: Commercial freezers and cold rooms near the harbour operate under heavy load, often with frequent door openings and rapid temperature cycling.
Hillside & Compact Installations: Many residential homes are built into slopes with limited kitchen ventilation. Built-in fridges installed tightly against cabinetry often struggle with airflow restriction.
Guesthouse & Tourism Demand: Boutique accommodation units operate mini-fridges and kitchen refrigeration continuously, especially during peak tourism periods.
Repairs in Hout Bay require an understanding of these real-world stress factors.
The harbour area, seafood outlets, restaurants, and retail businesses rely heavily on stable refrigeration performance.
We service:

Contact Glotech Appliance today to schedule your fridge repair or cold room installation in Hout Bay.
Cooling & Temperature Stability Fridge not cooling, freezer warming, cold room drifting off set point, or temperature fluctuation. Often caused by airflow restriction, refrigerant imbalance, corroded components, or compressor strain.
Defrost & Moisture Issues Excess frost, water leaks, frozen evaporators, and blocked drains. High coastal humidity increases condensation-related faults.
Electrical & Control System Failures Display errors, intermittent power, tripping supply, or unit not switching on. Often related to relays, wiring corrosion, or control board stress from voltage fluctuations.
Mechanical & Airflow Problems Unusual noise, vibration, constant running, or reduced airflow. Frequently linked to corroded fan motors, clogged condensers, or restricted ventilation.
