    I have recently improved my cellar with two commercial grade refrigeration units (True GDM-12 and GDM-14). Since they are made to chill soft drinks and other perishables, they run between 32-28 degrees. I am purchasing two temperature control units to fix the temperature in the mid-50's range.
    Here are the two I am looking at:

    Can anyone chime in as to their experiences with similar products and the best way to drill holes to incorporate the temperature probes? Any other helpful advice before I pay a handyman or electrician to do it for me (instead of me screwing it up)?

    Thanks...

    I have the more expensive one tied into a large two door true commercial fridge. Zero issues, easy to use.

    I install the Johnson only a day ago, but not drilled, just snaked like volta. Open to suggestions on that too. Working good so far :slight_smile:
