The Problem
Cellar at 68°F
Homeowner noticed condensation on bottles and checked the thermometer — cellar had been at 68°F for three days. WhisperKOOL 8000 H.E. unit was running but barely producing cool air. Collection valued at over $200,000.
- Cellar temperature at 68°F (target: 55°F)
- Condensation forming on glass bottles
- Unit running but minimal cooling output
- 800+ bottle collection at risk
