Home Wine Cellar Cooling Unit Replacement Project by M&M Cellar Systems 

Poor storage conditions will deteriorate wine quickly. Too much heat and light exposure will alter the chemical composition of the wine, resulting in off-flavors and unpleasant aromas. Therefore, it is crucial to install a reliable wine cellar cooling unit in your home.  

It is best to hire an HVAC expert to ensure that everything is done correctly. Wine Cellar Cooling Services Miami and M&M Cellar Systems are composed of trained and skillful technicians. We follow standard procedures in building refrigerated wine cellars.   

M&M Cellar Systems, one of our top-notch dealers in wine refrigeration, was contacted by the homeowners of an elegant home. They needed help with their existing climate control system installed in their wine cellar cabinet. The equipment was not functioning well because it was not the correct size and not installed correctly.

M&M Cellar Systems has been providing innovative home wine cellar cooling solutions for many years. Their team of HVAC specialists knows and understands the significant impact of determining the correct size of the climate control unit for every wine room.  They always conduct a careful assessment of the client’s needs. The two essential factors to consider when sizing a wine refrigeration system are the location and size of the wine room and the amount of glass to be utilized in the project. 

Performing a heat load calculation also helps determine the right size of the wine cooling unit for a particular project. This process helps calculate the BTU needed. BTU or British Thermal Unit is used to measure the amount of thermal energy required to increase the temperature of a pound of liquid water by one degree Fahrenheit.

For this home wine cellar cooling project, M&M Cellar Systems utilized a ducted split wine cabinet refrigeration system from US Cellar SystemsUS Cellar Systems is known for its expertise and reliability in providing home wine cellar cooling services and commercial-grade products. 

After assessing the client’s needs and requirements, Mario Morales, the lead technician and the owner of the company, decided to use the HS (High-Static) 6600 model. It was a perfect choice, considering the location and size of the wine room. This model consists of a high-grade evaporator, compressor, coils, and condensing fan. It is also known for its efficiency and functional features listed below: 

  • Space-savvy – The unit does not occupy the floor, racking, wall, or ceiling space in the wine cellar.  
  • Rust-proof and insulated aluminum housing 
  • An automatic expansion valve to promote humidity balance 
  • Lubricated and thermally protected motor 
  • Pump-down solenoid valve 
  • Pressure-tested to ensure quality  
  • Simple field installation 
  • ETL certified 

Some of the advantages of this type and model of climate control system are ease of installation and affordability. Since they used a ductless split wine cooling unit in this home wine cellar, ductwork was not required to exhaust the warm air and distribute the cool air in the room properly.  

Moreover, we recommend ductless split wine cooling units for homeowners who do not want any visible equipment inside their wine cellar. These units are ideal for small apartments, walk-in closets, spaces under the stairs, and other limited spaces.  

M&M Cellar Systems made sure that the refrigerant lines were in place to create a connection between the evaporator coils and the condensing coils using copper pipes. The team placed the evaporator inside the wine cellar cabinet. The condenser, which is the noisier component of the system, was installed outdoors, resulting in a virtually quiet operation. An exhaust room was not needed for proper heat dissipation.    

Freon Charging was Required for this Home Wine Cellar Cooling Project 

A refrigerant, commonly called Freon, plays a crucial role in keeping wine refrigeration systems functioning properlyIt acts as a coolant or cooling agent. Therefore, it is vital to monitor Freon regularly.    

In this particular project, Mario Morales found out that the Freon of the cooling unit needs charging. If it runs out, the system will not be able to create the ideal wine storage environment. Immediate action must be taken to prevent problems.  

Before charging the Freonthe team conducted a pressure test to ensure that the cooling equipment could stand the pressure. It will also help the early detection of internal and external leaks in the wine room.
