Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL System requires a dedicated 110-volt 20-
amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps at initial
start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will
guarantee the unit has enough power to run effectively.
Contact your electrician for installation of this dedicated
electrical circuit.
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with two electrical outlets, one for
installation inside the cellar and the other for installation
outside the cellar. Both outlets are covered and have been
secured with screws. Regardless of which side is utilized, the
other outlet must then be covered in order to avoid a live
electrical charge.
Purchase a surge protector or power conditioner to plug
your WhisperKOOL unit into. As with any sensitive
electrical equipment, the WhisperKOOL unit’s circuitry
may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power
surges and spikes are not covered by the WhisperKOOL
warranty.
Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this
product. The cooling unit will draw more amperage
than the GFI will allow.
Upon plugging the unit in and turning it on, there will
be a five minute delay before the unit starts. This is
based on the function of the thermostat.

Sizing Unit to Room
The specification chart will provide information on the unit’s room size cooling capacity.
There are circumstances in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due to some
existing design restrictions. In such a case, we recommend that the customer consider
purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to compensate for the design limitations. Issues
such as glass doors, concrete, or brick walls and floors may seem adequate but do not offer
the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimum environment.
