Hello,

I'm looking to purchase a air conditionning unit that needs to work all year round. I live in Quebec so during the colder months, the air conditionning unit in the building is turned off and heat is turned through heating elements. I have over a dozen servers in my small server and those small portable Danbys home air conditionning units are just not cutting it anymore. They are well over their usefull life and i'm sure they are going to break down any time soon. What kind (brand name) do you recommend or have seen in server rooms. This is not really a wiring question but since you guys do a lot of network cabling in server rooms, you might of notice some products that are more common. In the colder months, the temperature outside can be -30 degrees Celsius without wind chill. From what I heard, most cooling compressors stop functionning at around 5 degrees Celsius.

thanks
