ᐅ Cooling the utility room

Hello everyone,
after one year in the new house, now come the additional wishes of the WAF :-)
Does anyone have experience with keeping the utility room, which houses the heat pump and technical equipment, at storage temperatures by cooling it—not exactly cold—with an air conditioning unit? I was thinking of simply placing a portable air conditioner there during the summer months. The electricity for it would conveniently come from the solar system.
Best regards

Why?

What kind of heat pump?

What exactly is going to be stored? I prefer to buy fresh - and for cases of drinks or similar, the storage temperature doesn’t really matter.

This is an air-to-water heat pump, and yes, buying it new is better ;-) but when it comes to preparing for a party, you don’t want the panels to lose their charge immediately. So it’s more about temporary cooling for 1-2 days rather than a permanent reduction in temperature.

Even if this doesn’t solve your problem right now:
Our heat pump and ventilation system are located in the basement, and in this room it is definitely (at least noticeably) not warmer than in other basement areas. Are the heat pump and its connections properly insulated? If so, there should actually be no significant warming of the room.

In general, it shouldn’t be a problem to cool the utility room using an air conditioning unit and use self-generated electricity for that, I think. You might want to ask your electrician.

So it’s more about one-time cooling for 1-2 days, not a permanent temperature reduction.

For one-time cooling, I would also use an air conditioning unit.
