Wine Cellar Cooling: How Residential Wine Room Specialists Do it

Wine cellar cooling requires the help of a skilled and knowledgeable technician. Keep in mind that there are crucial steps to undergo for the refrigeration residential wine rooms. At Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles, we are composed of specialists in HVAC services. We have helped many homeowners in creating the perfect environment for their prized wines.   

Why You Should Work with a Wine Cellar Cooling Expert Like Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles 

Costly mistakes caused by the poor construction of your residential wine room can be avoided. One of the most vital components of a custom wine cellar is the wine cellar refrigeration unit. If the wrong type or size of the climate control system is installed in your residential wine room, the perfect environment will not be achieved, which can result in wine spoilage.  

If you do not want to waste your investment, you must hire a reliable company that has extensive knowledge and experience in cooling wine cellars. As a top-notch provider of wine cooling solutions, Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles knows and understands the significant role of wine cellar refrigeration units in the proper preservation of wines.      

We Go Through the Steps of Preparing the Residential Wine Room for Wine Cellar Cooling 

Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles takes the essential steps to ensure the success and effectiveness of every wine cellar cooling installation project. To help us achieve the optimum storage conditions in your residential wine room, we will consider the factors that will affect the choice of wine cellar refrigeration unit and the type of installation.  

Assessment of Your Needs 

One of the standard procedures before starting a project is the assessment of your needs and requirements. Skipping this step will negatively affect the functionality of your residential wine cellar.  

We have to gather all the necessary information to help us determine the components that suit the size and location of your residential wine room, the available resources, as well as your budget.

After the assessment stage, we will create 3-dimensional images, which include the elevation views, room and racking dimensions, bottle capacities, and the placement of your wine cellar cooling unit in any area of your residential wine room or within the racking.       

Framing and Installing Electrical Ductwork  

Framing the room is the first thing that master builders do before installing the wine cellar component. After that, Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles will complete the installation of electrical ductwork before the installation of your wine cellar cooling unit.  

Sealing Your Residential Wine Room: a Vital Part of Wine Cellar Cooling in Los Angeles 

Another crucial step in cooling wine cellars is insulating the walls and ceiling of residential wine rooms. Moreover, adding a vapor barrier is also a requirement for creating a stable environment. At Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles, we always make sure that the insulation and vapor barrier are installed correctly according to the technical and functional requirements of the project.  

Insulating the Walls and Ceiling and Adding a Vapor Barrier 

Why is room insulation so important in wine cellar cooling? Even though your wine cellar refrigeration unit is efficient and installed by a professional builder, it will not function effectively if there is a lack or poor insulation.  

The purpose of insulation is to seal in the cold air inside your wine storage facility and prevent the warm air outside from entering your wine cellar. It will help the wine cellar refrigeration unit to provide maximum cooling efficiency to your wine cellar in Los Angeles.        

A lack of, or poor insulation will force your refrigeration equipment to work harder than its normal operation. It will eventually cause the breakdown of your wine cellar cooling unit. Furthermore, your energy bill will soar high, and your favorite wines will spoil.      

If you want to avoid spending a hefty amount of money, you must work with a wine cellar cooling expert like Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles. Our team uses and recommends polyurethane closed-cell foam insulation because of the following reasons:  

• It is reliable and effective because it can fill in even the smallest gaps 

• It is cost-effective because it acts as both an insulator and a vapor barrier, saving you money.  

The role of the vapor barrier is to separate the colder environment in your wine cellar from the warmer conditions outside it. The absence of a vapor barrier will cause moisture build-up inside your residential wine room and trigger mold growth. It will degrade the structural integrity of the wooden components in your wine cellar, damage the corks that seal the wines, and ruin the wine labels.    

Cooling Your Wine Cellar with a Refrigeration Unit Chosen and Manufactured by HVAC Experts  

After creating an airtight seal, we will install your wine cellar cooling unit. The climate control systems are available in different types, sizes, brands, and capacities. You cannot choose one because it is the most affordable unit, or it was recommended by a friend. Keep in mind that you have to consult an HVAC specialist like Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles to ensure that it fits your requirements.    

We will perform a heat load calculation to determine the best wine refrigeration system for your residential wine room. We offer wine cooling units that can be installed within the racking or mounted on the wall or ceiling. We also have refrigeration systems that are intended for installations that require ductwork.
