Tell me more about the walking cooler. You gonna just over clock an ac unit

Of course! Wall unit LG a/c unit paired with a “cool bot” their website tells you the types it works with. Took 3 minutes to setup.

Our farm came with a meat cooler from the 60s I stripped out a layer of styrofoam & sealed out the mice. I used new building insulation 2 inch foil lined R~10 (it might be more or less R factor but aimed for as high as I could get) a few cans of spray foam & adhesive.

Ended up being ~ 2K including a/c unit

Our tulips sit at 34 F and the size 10x8x8 ft it costs 5-10 a month to run. My biggest issue last year was the cotton fluff clogging the condenser, so I am installing a bug guard this year.

Once tulips are done it goes up to 38 I would say when we get into the 90s here it runs 75% of the time.

Awesome. I'm trying to build a walk in cooler and freezer in the shop in the next 5 years to prep for milks and cheeses and age some stuff and hopefully find someone entrepreneurial to do on farm butcher stuff.

Its a big space with insulation and electric and I feel bad just using it for storage

The hardest part for me was sledging out the cinder brick wall. I would recommend buying 2 a/c units just in case it otherwise its been a great experience, I even keep some beverages for myself in there.

I will become the neighborhood liquor store if I do that lol

If you has to choose between a 2nd ac unit or a backup generator, what would you chose

If your on the property go with the generator as it will benefit you if power goes out. The generator takes more time to put in place. While not fun if your running to walmart or the hardware store you can swap the ac unit in no time
