The CellarPro Difference |
| Pricing |
What's included in the price of my cooling unit?
| Simple, Straightforward Pricing |
| |
Most cooling unit manufacturers advertise a BASE price and then upcharge for desirable features such as digital temperature control, top-vent exhaust and a power cord that exits from the back of the cooling unit.
| CellarPro offers simple and straightforward pricing for its cooling units. We don't charge extra for desirable features like electronic thermostats and digital displays, cord out of the back, top-vent exhaust and extra cooling capacity.
We do charge for extra parts and/or non-standard modifications, as follows:
|
| Testing |
Has my unit been rigorously tested?
| 100% Testing |
| |
Some of the leading wine cooling unit manufacturers test a sample, rather than all, of the cooling units that they produce. Some manufacturers test the power consumption (watts) of their wine cooling units, but not the BTUs produced by the wine cooling units. Watt testing provides information about the operation of the compressor and fans, but omits information about the cooling system's refrigerant charge, pressures, components and electronics.
| At CellarPro, each and every unit that we produce undergoes rigorous multipoint testing, including:
- Hypot testing ensures that all of the electrical currrent is captured in the system
- We use temperature-controlled test chambers and minimum run-times to test the cooling output and control panel operation
- Our test chambers are wired with Sper Scientific dataloggers that record and catalog each unit's performance
- Test data is compared to our benchmark performance metrics and each unit passes or fails - there are no "in-betweens"
When you purchase a wine cooling unit from Cellarpro, you can complete confidence in your purchase.

| Dealer Margins |
How are wine cabinet dealers compensated on the sale of Cooling Units?
| Honest, Objective Advice |
| |
Wine storage dealers generally earn thin margins on sales of BASE cooling units, and they earn much higher margins on cooling unit upgrades. That's why it's important to listen closely to your dealer's recommendations, and make sure that you're getting advice that is honest and objective.
| CellarPro cooling units come with all the upgrades already included, so our authorized dealers don't have any incentives to "up-sell" features for CellarPro cooling units.

| Shipping |
How long will it take to receive my cooling unit?
| Shipping within One Business Day |
| |
Some manufacturers can take up to 4 weeks to ship your wine cooling unit. Make sure to ask how long it will take before the unit ships - and from where will it ship.
| CellarPro ships its wine cooling units from northern California, generally the next business day after receiving the order. We use UPS and FedEx ground to ship our wine cooling units, but faster shipping is available for an additional cost. Calculate shipping costs.

| Warranty |
How long is the warranty? What does it cover?
| 5-Year Limited Warranty |
| |
Find out how long your cooling unit is covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Make sure you understand if it's just parts, or just labor, or parts and labor that are covered, and for how long. Find out if the warranty covers the entire cooling system or just the compressor. Find out what happens if/when you need your cooling unit serviced.
| CellarPro stands behind its cooling units, offering five years of coverage on the entire cooling system, including parts and labor. If your cooling unit stops functioning, we'll send you a new or factory-refurbished replacement cooling unit, and ask you to return to us the original cooling unit AFTER you receive the replacement cooling unit. That way, your wine won't go unprotected unnecessarily. Your cost is the freight to ship the cooling system to and from CellarPro we'll provide the replacement cooling unit at our expense. |
