- Temperature loss: Poor insulation, incorrect sizing, failed components or a refrigerant issue
- Constant running: System working too hard due to heat load, airflow restrictions or dirty coils
- Icing/leaks: Drainage problems, blocked filters, fan issues or incorrect defrost performance
- Uneven cooling: Poor air circulation, layout issues, damaged ducting or warm spots
- Noisy airflow: Worn fans, loose fittings or restricted vents

Choose the right approach for your setup
Customised cooling systems to keep your drinks at the perfect serving temperature
Standard cellar cooling systems
Our standard cellar coolers are typically set to cool the room to around 12°C.
From there, your beer and other beverages run through an secondary cooling system and along the dispense lines to the taps, helping ensure they reach the right serving temperature at the point of dispense.
Insulated cold room style cooling behind the bar
Our second option, used with several venues is to build an cold room as the bar’s back wall, fully insulated.
The room itself is typically cooled to 2–4°C (or as specified by you). With the taps positioned just approximately 80mm away on the other side of the insulated wall, there’s no need for extended line runs.
This means waste is cut to almost zero, and you can also eliminate the need for an extra cooling unit to achieve the desired serving temperature.

Stoke On Trent Cellar Cooling FAQs
What is the ideal temperature for cellar cooling?
The ideal temperature for cellar cooling is typically between 2 to 12 degrees Celsius, depending on the specific requirements for your beverages or products. This range ensures optimal preservation and serving conditions.
How do I decide between standard units and an insulated cold room?
Choosing between standard units and an insulated cold room depends on your specific needs. Standard units are effective for general cooling requirements, while insulated cold rooms offer superior temperature control, energy efficiency, and reduced wastage, making them ideal for high-demand environments.

Where can you install cellar cooling solutions?
How often should cellar cooling be serviced
For most pubs and bars, we recommend a professional service at least once a year. If your cellar cooling runs hard year-round, sits in a warm plant area, or you rely on it heavily for consistent dispense, every 6 months is often better to reduce breakdown risk and keep efficiency up.
What causes a cellar cooler to ice up
Icing is usually a sign of restricted airflow or the evaporator coil running too cold. Common causes include:
- Dirty filters or blocked coils
- Fan faults or poor air circulation
- Low refrigerant (often linked to a leak)
- High humidity / frequent door opening letting moist air in
- Drainage or defrost issues (water not clearing properly)
Can you repair existing systems
Yes. We can fault-find and repair most existing cellar cooling systems, including replacing failed components, resolving refrigerant issues, improving airflow, and correcting performance problems. If a unit is beyond economical repair, we’ll tell you plainly and quote for the most suitable replacement.
Can you reduce running costs
In many cases, yes. The biggest cost savers tend to be:
- Regular servicing (clean coils, correct charge, fans running efficiently)
- Improving insulation and sealing (doors, wall penetrations, warm air ingress)
- Optimising controls and setpoints so the system doesn’t overwork
- Fixing issues that cause constant running (airflow restrictions, failing components)
- Assessing system sizing and layout (an undersized or poorly distributed system can be expensive to run)
