Local context

Working in Kelvin

We service Kelvin Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Kelvin, Sandton, with access off the N3 and M1. 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.
