The unit is installed outside the cellar, in a utility room or outdoors, and sends cool air through ducts. More discreet in the cellar and more powerful, it needs a more involved installation: for large cellars and custom projects.

A wall-mounted cooling unit is set into the cellar wall and releases heat into the adjoining room: simple to install, it suits small and medium cellars. A ducted cooling unit is installed outside the cellar and sends it cool air through ducts: more discreet and more powerful, it suits large cellars.
The power depends on the volume of the cellar, its insulation and the temperature of the adjoining room. Each product page lists the cellar volume covered, in cubic feet: compare it with the volume of your cellar (length × width × height, in feet), then have an advisor confirm your choice.
Yes, in the case of a wine cellar. Several manufacturers call their units "compressors", such as the WhisperKOOL SC PRO or the Wine Guardian: they are complete cooling units that cool the whole room. They are not replacement parts for the compressor of a wine cellar.
The price depends mainly on the power and the type of installation. Small wall-mounted models, such as the KoolR Magnum or the Wine-R, cost less than $2,500. More powerful models and ducted systems range from $5,000 to $12,000.
Yes. A cooling unit is not enough in a poorly insulated room: it runs non-stop and struggles to hold the temperature. Insulation, a vapour barrier and a sealed door come first. Our guide to insulating a wine cellar explains the steps.
