Cooling the utility room

Hello everyone, after a year in the new house, here come the additional wishes of the WAF :-) Does anyone have experience in bringing the utility room with heat pump and technology, which is not exactly cool, to storage temperatures using an air conditioning unit? I simply wanted to put a portable air conditioner in there during the summer months. The electricity comes conveniently from the solar system. Regards Oliver

Why?

What kind of heat pump?

What is supposed to be stored? I prefer to shop fresh - and beverage crates etc. do not care about the storage temperature.

This is an air-to-water heat pump and yes, buying new is better ;-) only when it's about party preparation, the plates shouldn't run away right away. So it's more about cooling once for 1-2 days and not a fundamental temperature reduction.

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

In general, it should be no problem to cool the utility room using an air conditioning unit and to use self-produced electricity for this, I think. Just ask your electrician.

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