'thought this might be of some help to you ... (while 95% of our clientele
is outside the state of texas, we have been building on-site rooms here in
houston for years and are familiar with our unique climate)

we do source every line of american and european equipment, the various
"brands" are not routinely interchangeable ... each is designed to meet
certain criteria of a specific application and a given client's parameters.
oversizing can be as counterproductive as inadequate ventilation or
insufficient capacity.

first and foremost, room preparation is critical. none will perform
efficiently absent proper construction. please visit our primary site,
www.galtwinecellars.com and click on "do-it-yourself". (
http://www.galtwinecellars.com/catalog_15.html )

this basic information should be of some help to you in your planning.

we do provide extended warranties and lifetime loaner programs on many
mainstream lines.

our clientele is worldwide (22 time zones), so someone is always on call
into late evening and through the weekend to answer questions and discuss
your application in more detail. call anytime.

thanks again,
