Working with a Top-Notch Manufacturer of Wine Cellar Cooling Systems

At Coastal Custom Wine Cellars, we care for your wine collection. Our top priority is to create a safe wine storage environment to allow your prized wines to age well before they are consumed. To achieve this, we will build your wine room following the standard procedures in wine cellar construction. We will install the correct insulation to prepare the area for refrigeration.

We will also perform a heat load calculation to help us determine the size of the wine cooling unit suitable for your requirements. Our team uses high-grade climate control systems from premier manufacturers of wine cooling units. One of them is Arctic Metalworks.

Arctic Metalworks is the leading manufacturer and provider of commercial-grade wine cellar refrigeration units in the wine cellar industry.  Established in 1962, this family-owned and operated company started as a builder of custom refrigeration systems in California. Eventually, it diversified the business line to include wine cellar construction and renovation, and custom wine rack making.

As the wine cellar refrigeration specialists of Southern California, Arctic MetalWorks strive to provide the best in custom wine cellar construction and top-quality wine cellar refrigeration units, as demonstrated by their completed cooling system installation projects over the years.  They manufacture wine cellar refrigeration units in California that suit the size of the wine room and address the cooling needs of clients.

Here are several of their recently finished refrigerated wine cellar projects in the California state.  Arctic Metalworks collaborated with Coastal Custom Wine Cellars on these projects.  The latter handled wine room design and construction, while the former supplied the proper climate control systems.  The type of wine cellar refrigeration unit used to achieve a balanced wine storage temperature was a commercial-grade, ductless split refrigeration system.

For this wine cellar refrigeration units California installation project in Aliso Viejo, Arctic Metalworks installed a split refrigeration system.  The evaporator unit was placed just above the entryway to the residential wine cellar, while the compressor was placed in the yard at the side of the house.  It was covered with an operable, louvered grill cover constructed from All-Heart Redwood to keep the evaporator unit out of sight.

To maintain the ideal wine storage temperature in this custom wine room in Coto de Caza Orange County, California, the Arctic team built and installed a ductless split refrigeration unit.  For a whisper-quiet and non-obtrusive operation, the compressor was placed outdoors on the rooftop.  The refrigeration system’s evaporator was installed in the wine room and was concealed in a lattice style grill box and cover made out of Mahogany.

Newport Coast Beach Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit Installation

In this particular refrigerated wine cellar installation project in Newport Coast Beach, California, Arctic Metalworks mounted the evaporator unit within the racking frame on the right sidewall.  The cooling system is concealed with a hinged, louvered panel cover, built from the same material as the wine storage and display racks.

The cooling system’s evaporator unit is placed inside the wine cellar because it does generate noise and heat.  A specially constructed grill cover is used to cover the equipment, keep it hidden from view, and maintain room aesthetics.  The grill is made from the same wood species as the wine racking solutions, as this creates a beautiful and seamless appearance.  Additionally, the panel cover is designed with a hinge to provide flexibility for cooling unit cleaning and maintenance in the future.

Types of Wine Cellar Cooling Systems by Arctic Metalworks

Arctic Metalworks offers different types of wine cellar cooling units. Choosing the right type of refrigeration system requires the help of a professional. A careful assessment must be done to avoid installing the wrong equipment. We will consider the following factors to prevent mistakes:

  • The location and size of your wine room
  • The availability of an exhaust room
  • Your aesthetic requirements (do you want the equipment to be hidden within your racking, placed above your doorway, or outside your home wine cellar)
  • Your budget

Ductless split climate control systems offer flexible installation options with aesthetic considerations.  A split cooling system consists of an evaporator and condensing unit.  The split feature allows the heat generating part of the equipment (condensing unit) to be placed in a remote area, such as the backyard, garage, or attic.  Copper tubing and electrical wiring are used to connect the condensing unit to the evaporator unit, which is usually installed inside or near refrigerated wine cellars.

Split, non-ducted wine cellar refrigeration units are not only efficient in maintaining the best wine storage temperature but also in providing quiet and unobtrusive operation that suits aging wines well.
