Local context
Working in Chantelle
We service Chantelle Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Chantelle, Pretoria, with access off the R80 and R514. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.
