Wine Cellar Refrigeration Systems

Ensure that your wine is properly maintained by installing the appropriate wine refrigeration system for your project.

If you're a wine enthusiast or your private club caters to those who enjoy a fine vintage, it's essential to safeguard your wine collection. Wine is sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Humidity and extreme weather can affect its taste and color, impacting the aging process of your wine investment.

Retain the quality and flavor of your wine collection with wine room refrigeration systems from Cellarium Wine Cellars. We create custom wine storage solutions that keep your wine at a consistent temperature, protecting your investment from premature aging or spoilage.

Whether you are a serious wine collector or enjoy entertaining and sharing great wines, your wine cellar should be kept at a consistent temperature and humidity level. Wine cellar cooling units from Cellarium are a worthwhile investment that enhances your wine experience and protects your favorite wines.

Let's explore the wine refrigeration systems we offer as part of our total wine storage solutions.

Through The Wall, Self Contained Wine Refrigeration

A through-the-wall, self-contained wine cellar cooling system is a popular choice among wine enthusiasts, as it's the easiest to install and the least expensive option with no HVAC contractor needed. Simply install through an opening in the wall, which is ideally adjacent to a mechanical room where the unit vents into. Plug into a 115-volt, dedicated 20-amp circuit, and you’re ready to go.

Please note, the area that it vents into has to be at least twice the size of the wine cellar or too much heat builds up, causing early failure of the unit. As with any refrigeration system, preparation of the space with proper vapor barrier and insulation is critical to the longevity of the system.

Ductless Split Wine Refrigeration System

A Ductless Split earns its name due to its two components — the evaporator, which hangs on the wall in the wine cellar, and the condenser, which is usually located outside. A line set connects the two elements. This wine cellar cooling system is a cost-effective option for larger spaces. Its quiet operation keeps your wine cellar vibration-free and virtually silent.

The unit's condenser can go in a mechanical room, crawl space or garage. However, if it is going to be located indoors, that space has to be at least twice the size of the wine cellar. Otherwise, the heat that the compressor throws off cannot dissipate and will cause premature failure of the unit. Installation requires a qualified, licensed HVAC technician.

Ductless Split Ceiling Mount Wine Refrigeration System

For a more seamless space with plenty of room for your wine storage racks, consider the Ductless Ceiling Mount refrigeration system. This option operates similarly to the Ductless Split. However, the evaporator mounts flush to the ceiling, making it much less intrusive. It can be painted the same color as the ceiling and doesn’t take away space on the wall for racking, making it ideal for smaller spaces. Installation requires a qualified, licensed HVAC technician.

Ducted Air Handler Elite Wine Refrigeration System

This is the most elite system, operationally and aesthetically. Think central air conditioning for the wine cellar. Mechanically, it is the only system that allows precise control over humidity, with the other options maintaining humidity within an acceptable range most of the year. However, in prolonged periods of dry, cold weather, different systems may begin to “mock” ambient conditions, resulting in lower humidity levels. If this happens, you cannot simply “dial up” humidity. If it persists, you will have to place a humidifier in the room.

Aesthetically, all you see in the wine cellar are the supply and return grills, similar to a home air conditioning system, which can be decorative if desired. Installation requires a qualified, licensed technician.
