GEORGE NEWS - With winter fast approaching, Afrox is urging consumers to fill up with Handigas and avoid the yearly rush on stocks. And with electricity prices poised to soar, more and more people are turning to LPG for their power.

With the pressure on all of us to reduce our electrical consumption ahead of the Fifa World Cup 2010, many are installing high-tech, gas-fired hobs, ovens, space heaters and water heating systems for the bathroom or shower.
Handigas remains a cost effective option as the equipment is only used as required, thus reducing regular energy consumption even when the house is not occupied. Handigas is safe, clean burning, and is a non-toxic energy source.

Afrox experts can assist with technical advice on Handigas, installations and safe operating practices. Most are LPGSA approved and can install domestic LPG installations, which must comply with the LPGSA minimum standards and may only be installed by registered technicians.

Beware of the many operators who claim they can do such installations - if the technicians are not competent, future possible insurance claims will be rejected and people and property are put at risk.

Afrox is the leader in the welding and gases industry, and pride themselves in having the highest quality products as well as stringent safety standards. Safety is never compromised and they continuously monitor their activities in order to minimise any impact on the environment.

Afrox has been serving Southern Cape customers for over 40 years. They have established and highly trained distributors who carry industrial gases, Handigas as well as Afrox quality welding consumables.

As part of a wide product range, Afrox manufactures specialised Miller and Thermal Dynamics machines for welding and cutting steel.
The entire range of welding processes includes Manual Arc, semi-automatic MIG and TIG, sub-arc processes, plasma cutters, gas equipment, safety products and accessories.

Gases available include all medical, refrigeration, special gas mixtures and hospitality gases like Handigas, Partigas and Suremix. Their quality Suremix is used for dispensing beer and soft drinks, and has been approved by all the beverage manu-facturers.
