Shopping for a Bar Cooler for Residential Use?
Iron Mountain has a wide range of options to fit whatever type of space you have. These include small beer fridge models as well as double-door units that can fit more items. Their glass doors make it easy to see what’s inside so you don’t have to waste energy while you hunt for a specific item.
Crucially, our warranty covers residential use, a protection rarely offered by other commercial refrigeration suppliers.
Common Questions About Residential Bar Coolers
How loud are these units compared to a standard kitchen fridge?
Because these coolers use commercial compressors to keep your drinks ice-cold, they do have a bit more hum than a standard residential refrigerator. It isn’t overwhelming—think of it like the sound of a dishwasher running—but they aren’t silent.
Can I use a residential bar cooler outdoors?
We recommend keeping these indoor-only unless the specific model says “Outdoor Rated.” Humidity and temperature swings outside can overwork the compressor and shorten the life of the fridge. If you are building an outdoor kitchen, give us a call and we can point you toward the right unit for that space.
What is the difference between a “Beverage Cooler” and a standard refrigerator?
These coolers are designed to get beverages down to serving temps (33°F – 38°F) much faster than a standard food fridge. They use fans to circulate air, which is perfect for cans and bottles, but that air movement can dry out open food (like leftovers or produce) if it isn’t sealed up tight.
