Refrigeration systems—whether in homes, supermarkets, or cold rooms—rely on refrigerant gas to keep things cold. But when a leak occurs, cooling performance drops, electricity bills rise, and expensive damage can follow.
At Paradigm Cooling, we’ve seen countless cases across Claremont, Wynberg, Rondebosch, and Tokai where a small leak became a big problem. Knowing the causes of gas leaks helps you spot issues early and avoid costly breakdowns.
The compressor is the heart of any refrigeration system. Whether it’s your home fridge, a supermarket cold room, or a commercial freezer, the compressor keeps things cool.
But compressors are expensive to replace. The good news? Early detection of problems can save you thousands. At Paradigm Cooling, we’ve repaired compressors across Tokai, Wynberg, Claremont, and Rondebosch, helping clients avoid total system failure

Whether it’s a supermarket cold room, a restaurant freezer, or even a residential wine cellar, insulation is the unsung hero of refrigeration. Without proper insulation, your system will work harder, energy bills will skyrocket, and stored goods may spoil.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to connect the MG44 to the Job Link app, plus a few pro tips to get the most out of it on real HVAC jobs.
In this review, we’ll break down how the MG44 performs in real-world conditions, how it compares to cheaper gauges, and why it pairs perfectly with premium HVAC tools like the SM482V Manifold.
After years in the HVAC and refrigeration trade, I thought I had evacuations figured out. I owned a “reliable” vacuum pump, followed the right procedures, and accepted long pull-down times as part of the job.
Then I switched to the Fieldpiece VPX7 — and everything changed.
I didn’t realise how much time, energy, and frustration my old pump was costing me until I experienced what a modern, high-performance vacuum pump could really do. Here’s why the VPX7 has become one of the most valuable HVAC tools in my kit — and why I’ll never go back.
The Fieldpiece VPX7 is one of the fastest and most advanced vacuum pumps available for HVAC and refrigeration professionals — but like any high-performance tool, it only delivers peak results when it’s properly maintained.
