Water dripping from the unit or pooling on the cellar floor.
The unit is louder than it was, or vibrates against the wall.

Specialists, not a general repair shop.
Family-owned, licensed, local.

We diagnose the real cause, quote the repair before any work begins, and recommend replacement only when it genuinely makes sense.

Licensed and insured
Florida HVAC license CAC1815692, and insured. You can verify the license with the state before you let anyone on site.
Cooling is all we do
Refrigeration, ice machines, wine cooling and air conditioning. We are specialists, not a general appliance shop.
Local and family-owned
Family-owned and operated from 835 Polaris Rd in Venice, with over 7 years of hands-on experience across Sarasota, Manatee & Charlotte counties.
One company, both systems
No need for one contractor for the refrigerator and another for the air conditioning. The same team handles both, so nobody passes the problem along.

FAQ

Questions about wine cellar cooling repair

The usual causes are a dirty or blocked condenser, a failed fan, a refrigerant leak, or a cooling unit that is undersized for the room or fighting heat coming through an uninsulated wall. We check the unit and the room conditions before recommending a repair.

Yes. We work on all makes and models of cellar cooling units: through-the-wall, split and ducted systems.

Often, yes. Humidity problems come from the cooling unit running too long, a failed humidification component, or air leaking into the room. We diagnose which and repair the cooling side; room sealing and insulation may be a separate contractor's job.
