Refrigeration

Unless you have an 18th century root cellar deep underground, taking advantage of the earth’s thermal mass and consistent temperature, you will probably need a refrigeration system for your wine cellar.  Understanding the different types of refrigeration systems available is critical when considering the construction of a wine cellar, factoring in budget, size, configuration and adjacent areas to the wine cellar.  This is a rudimentary guide only, a more specific recommendation can be made after a site visit, plan review or conversation to learn of the aforementioned criteria.  All systems will come with complete specifications, instruction manuals and warranties from the manufacturer.
