Local context
Working in Heriotdale
We service Heriotdale Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Heriotdale, Johannesburg, with access off the M2 and N3. 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.
