Century City

Century City is a mixed-use precinct in Cape Town's northern suburbs, built around canals, the Canal Walk shopping centre and the Intaka Island nature reserve. It combines modern apartment buildings, office parks, hotels, conference venues and restaurants in one managed development, close to the N1 and the city.

Our work here is split between apartments and businesses.

Apartments

Century City apartments typically have modern, compact kitchens with built-in or integrated appliances: under-counter or integrated fridges, built-in ovens and hobs, slimline or integrated dishwashers, and washer-dryers in small laundries. That brings a few particular points:

Ventilation

Built-in fridges and ovens rely on specific ventilation gaps. In compact kitchens, blocked vents cause overheating, longer running times and earlier failures. We check ventilation during every repair.

Leaks

In an apartment building, a leaking washing machine, washer-dryer or dishwasher can damage the unit below. Switch off, close the tap and call us if you see water. Hidden leaks under integrated dishwashers often show first as swollen kickplates.

Building rules and access

Century City buildings are professionally managed, with access control, parking arrangements and sometimes rules about contractor hours. Tell us your building and unit when you book and we will arrange access with management.

Aircons

Many apartments already have aircons. We service and repair them, and install new units where building rules allow, with management approval for outdoor unit positions. Installations carry a 2-year warranty and a free service every six months for those two years.

Rental apartments

Many Century City apartments are rented out, short- or long-term. We coordinate with tenants, agents and owners and send summaries after each job.

Offices and businesses

Century City's office parks are full of businesses that rely on:

  • Office aircons that run all day and need six-monthly servicing and monthly filter cleaning
  • Bean-to-cup coffee machines making dozens of cups a day, where full grounds containers, unrinsed brew units and blocked milk systems cause most breakdowns
  • Staff-room fridges and dishwashers used by many people

We repair and service all of these, set up regular schedules and work around business hours.

Canals and humidity

With the canals and wetlands nearby, the air can be humid, especially on still days. Aircon drains work harder and block more often, and closed-up washing machines and dishwashers can develop smells. Regular drain flushing and leaving appliance doors ajar help.

Booking in Century City

Call or WhatsApp 067 212 0062 or use the booking form. Include your building, unit number and any access arrangements.

Working with managing agents

Many Century City apartments are rented out, and owners often live elsewhere. We can take the booking from a managing agent, arrange access with the tenant, send the quote to the owner for approval, and email the invoice and warranty details to whoever needs them. For buildings with strict contractor rules, we supply our details in advance.

Warranty: Every repair carries a 6-month warranty on parts we fit and our workmanship. Every aircon installation carries a 2-year warranty, and we service the unit free of charge every six months for those two years.

Frequently asked questions

Can you work in my Century City apartment building?

Yes. Tell us your building and unit and we will arrange access with building management.

Do you service office coffee machines in Century City?

Yes, and we can set up regular servicing based on how many cups the machine makes.

My washer-dryer leaks during the wash. What should I do?

Switch it off, close the tap and call us. We will find the source, which is often the door seal, a hose or the pump.

Can my rental agent book a repair for my Century City apartment?

Yes. The agent can book, and we send the quote to you or the agent for approval before starting.

Do your repairs carry a warranty?

Yes. Every repair carries a 6-month warranty on parts we fit and our workmanship. We have more than 15+ years of experience and quote before any work starts.

Do you charge a callout fee?

Our callout fee is R400. It covers the visit and the diagnosis, and it is waived if you go ahead with the repair or installation, so you only pay it if you decide not to proceed.

Are you an authorised agent for appliance brands in Century City?

No. A1 Refrigeration is an independent company. We work on all major brands of aircons, appliances and coffee machines, but we are not affiliated with or authorised by any manufacturer. If your appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact the manufacturer or your retailer first.
