In Beverly Hills, our client invested in an elegant custom wine cellar cabinet equipped with a refrigeration unit. This storage solution is ideal for limited spaces and for wine enthusiasts who are on a tight budget. The cabinet was located in the living area.
However, they found out that the cooling equipment installed in their wine cabinet was not suitable to achieve the optimum performance.

The correct cooling unit is designed for achieving the optimum environment required for wine to age gracefully. The ideal wine cellar temperature is between 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity levels must range between 60 to 70 percent. With a stable environment, you can avoid having bad wines in your collection.
On this residential wine cellar refrigeration project, Custom Wine Cellars Los Angeles and M&M Cellar Systems had to replace the existing climate-control system with a unit suitable for a wine cellar cabinet.
Mario Morales, the owner and lead technician of M&M Cellar Systems, and his team completed the work with pride. They replaced the old unit with an HS 6600 split wine cabinets cooling systems manufactured by US Cellar Systems. This type of refrigeration system is divided into two components: 1) the evaporator coil, 2) coil, compressor, and condensing fan.
Why We Chose a Split System for this Residential Wine Cellar Refrigeration Project in Los Angeles

We chose a ductless split wine refrigeration unit because of its efficiency, installation flexibility, and reliability. It also operates quietly.
With the ducted system, ductwork is required for the proper distribution of cool air and exhaust of warm air. On this project, we chose a ductless system over a ducted unit to eliminate ductwork.
Removing the Wrong Cooling System and Installing the New Unit

The old cooling equipment was placed in a mechanical room of the home. We removed the unit and replaced it with a refrigeration unit with the correct size and type.
We also made that the refrigerant lines are welded in place. These lines play a significant role in cooling a wine room. They line sets consist of copper pipes that connect the condenser coils to the indoor evaporator coils.
Changing the Freon of the Wine Refrigeration System
A cooling agent used in air conditioning systems is the Freon. On this project, we had to charge the cooling system with Freon.
