Of course! Wall unit LG a/c unit paired with a “cool bot” their website tells you the types it works with. Took 3 minutes to setup.
Our farm came with a meat cooler from the 60s I stripped out a layer of styrofoam & sealed out the mice. I used new building insulation 2 inch foil lined R~10 (it might be more or less R factor but aimed for as high as I could get) a few cans of spray foam & adhesive.
Ended up being ~ 2K including a/c unit
Our tulips sit at 34 F and the size 10x8x8 ft it costs 5-10 a month to run. My biggest issue last year was the cotton fluff clogging the condenser, so I am installing a bug guard this year.
Once tulips are done it goes up to 38 I would say when we get into the 90s here it runs 75% of the time.

Awesome. I'm trying to build a walk in cooler and freezer in the shop in the next 5 years to prep for milks and cheeses and age some stuff and hopefully find someone entrepreneurial to do on farm butcher stuff.
Its a big space with insulation and electric and I feel bad just using it for storage
