Common questions
How long should a KIC fridge last in Fourways Mall Precinct?
With a clean condenser and a sound door seal, twelve to fifteen years is normal. Most callouts we attend are thermostats, start relays and perished seals rather than sealed system failures.
What size ice machine do I need?
Size on peak daily draw, not average: roughly 0.5 to 1 kg of ice per restaurant cover per day, more for cocktail bars and function venues. We calculate demand on site, then specify machine output plus bin storage and the water treatment your supply needs.
Can you work after trading hours?
Yes. Retail, restaurant and office work is routinely scheduled at night or early morning under a permit-to-work so trading is not interrupted.
