You can\u00a0buy this\u00a0type of\u00a0air conditioner at a store like\u00a0Home Depot for about\u00a0$500 (depending on what size you need). The combined price of your\u00a0air conditioner and\u00a0the\u00a0CoolBot is just a fraction of the cost of a traditional walk-in cooler refrigeration system, saving you $1,000&#8217;s in up-front equipment costs. Plus, the CoolBot system uses 40% less energy than a traditional walk-in cooler, so you save money all year round.<\/p>\n<h2>CoolBot&#8217;s Technology is Sophisticated<\/h2>\n<p>CoolBot&#8217;s\u00a0patented technology intelligently controls\u00a0your air conditioner.\u00a0The CoolBot uses multiple sensors, a heating element, and a programmed micro-controller to direct your air conditioner\u2019s compressor to cool the room to 36\u00b0 F without ever freezing up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=314&amp;products_id=2528\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1716\" src=\"http:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device-650x449.png\" alt=\"coolbot walk-in cooler controller\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device-650x449.png 650w, https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device-768x531.png 768w, https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device-624x431.png 624w, https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/coolbot_device.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Installation is Fast and Easy<\/h2>\n<p>No special training is required\u00a0to install the CoolBot. Installation only takes 5 minutes! And, you don&#8217;t need to do any\u00a0cutting, soldering, or even taping!<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s How the CoolBot\u00a0Works<\/h2>\n<p>When the CoolBot begins losing\u00a0efficiency when accessing your air conditioner&#8217;s\u00a0cooling power (BTU&#8217;s) and the air conditioner is close to freezing up, it shuts\u00a0off the A\/C unit&#8217;s compressor. That way, you don&#8217;t pay for electricity to make BTU&#8217;s you can\u2019t use! This feature saves you money on your monthly electricity bill and helps the environment. As long as your air conditioner is the correct size and your room\u00a0is well-insulated,\u00a0you\u2019ll have no problem keeping your walk-in cooler\u00a0as cold as you want it to be.<\/p>\n<h2>Be a CoolBot Success Story<\/h2>\n<p>More than\u00a030,000 farmers, florists, hunters, breweries, bars, restaurants and wine lovers have saved thousands of dollars with the CoolBot!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00a0have a need for cold storage that&#8217;s affordable to buy and inexpensive to operate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesteadersupply.com\/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=314&amp;products_id=2528\" target=\"_blank\">consider\u00a0the CoolBot<\/a>.
