To get the best performance, it’s important to choose the right-sized unit and keep it maintained regularly.
Can the container be used in extreme climates?Absolutely. These containers are built tough and designed to handle both hot and cold environments. With AC and proper insulation, they perform reliably no matter the weather.
What are the most popular uses for these containers?They’re super versatile. Most people use them for storing temperature-sensitive goods like food or pharmaceuticals, setting up safe storage for electronics, or even creating air-conditioned workspaces on job sites or at events.
How do I maintain the air conditioning system?Maintenance is simple but important: clean or change the filters, check for refrigerant leaks, and make sure all electrical connections are solid. It’s best to get a pro to check it out once in a while to keep everything running smoothly.
