What r Airetronic Maintenance & Sales does

Airetronic Maintenance & Sales (Pty) Ltd is a South African HVAC contractor founded in November 1989 and headquartered at 8 Millar Road, Durban, serving the KwaZulu-Natal market. The company supplies, installs, maintains, and repairs heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems for industrial, commercial, and residential clients, including hospitals (GJ Crookes, Clairwood), universities (DUT Riverside Campus), commercial offices (Talksure House), shopping malls, and residential developments (Pebble Beach, Pearls of Umhlanga, 65 Richefond).

The business operates two core service lines. The first is recurring maintenance and repair, delivered by a structured service department comprising a service manager, four service advisors, five qualified trade-tested refrigeration technicians, and fifteen service and repair crews, with 24-hour service availability and multi-year maintenance contracts. The second is project-based new installation, overseen by in-house site supervisors and dedicated project managers from inception through completion, covering general and specialized HVAC installations for projects of all sizes. Pricing is custom quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and all sales are conducted through direct enterprise field engagement by in-house sales consultants and service advisors, with no channel partners or resellers.

The company employs just over 70 permanent staff and maintains access to over 80 subcontractors to scale capacity for larger projects. Since June 2018, it has been equally owned by Managing Director Daya Pillay (34 years industry experience) and Director Vinod Govender (27 years industry experience) following founder Dave Cannon's retirement. The company holds CIDB registration, B-BBEE certification, and memberships in SAIRAC, SARACCA, SEIFSA, and SAQCC. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the company has no institutional or venture capital investors, and there is no parent company or holding structure.
