When you work with an inexperienced wine cellar builder, you are putting your prized wines at risk and will have a significant expense in the future. Recently, the owners of a large home-building company, the Pardee Homescontacted us to build a wine cellar in one of their model homes in Riverside, California.  We supplied the wine cooler split system to keep the wines at their best.     

Amazing Wine Cellar and Refrigeration System Installation Project for a Famous Home Builder in Riverside County, California  

At Arctic MetalWorks, we always want to exceed our client’s expectations. We do our best to meet all of their functional, aesthetic, and financial requirements. We have completed many refrigeration and custom wine cellar installations in California.   

Recently, Pardee Homes, a top-notch builder in California, contacted us for their custom wine cellar project. They have been providing smart solutions to homebuyers since 1921. The beautiful homes and communities they build guarantees satisfaction and offer value, sustainability, and safety in a great location. 

The owners wanted to install a custom glass enclosed wine cellar in one of their model homes. They are making the wine cellar a part of all the residential units they build in that location, which will be about more than 200 residential units. This feature puts these places ahead of the game, as no one will expect to find a wine cellar in an area that is coming up and blooming. 

They have received several awards including:  

  • National Association of Home Builders Green Building Corporate Advocate of the Year 
  • Builder magazine’s America’s Best Builder, 
  • Hearthstone Builder Humanitarian Award  

These achievements inspire them to be more productive in building tastefully designed homes in large communities following safety protocols. We were very excited to be a part of this project, which was our first construction project in Menifee, a city in Southwestern Riverside County, California.

At Arctic MetalWorks, we make sure that every element of the wine cellar design we create suits the needs of our clients. For this particular wine cellar project, the expectations of the clients were high because they are builders. Moreover, this was their first wine cellar project, which means that they have not dealt with any wine room builder before.  

David Gype, the owner and founder of Arctic MetalWorks, was surprised when the clients chose us over this one-of-a-kind installation project. We made everything easy and convenient for the clients. We finished the custom wine cellar after only 60 days. They were very pleased with our fast response and ability to get in and out quickly, not to mention the beautiful design we created for their wine display and storage area. 

We made sure that the wine room is capable of maintaining a stable environment to preserve the wine’s desirable characteristics. Despite the challenges that came our way, we were able to install a high-grade refrigeration unit correctly.  

Installation of a Wine Cellar Cooler Split System in Riverside County, California: Challenges and Solutions

In building wine cellars, the cooling system is the most essential element. Without it, your wines will go to waste. Keep in mind that you must consult with a refrigeration expert who understands the importance of keeping the optimum storage conditions in your wine cellar.  

Arctic Metalworks is the most reliable wine cellar refrigeration expert in Southern California. David Gype is always ready to help people who need the best wine cooling units for their wine cellar. He has extensive knowledge in the installation and maintenance of the refrigeration systems. Structural and technical challenges will not stop him from meeting the needs of his clients.  

For this particular project in Riverside County, one of the challenges was the inability to hide the refrigeration equipment inside the cellar. We had to find a way to duct the wine cooler split system and create vents in the ceiling to supply the cold air that enters the wine cellar.  

We requested the builder to make a platform in the attic for our forced air unit that supplies the cold air at a high static pressure. They also provided us with high voltage and condensate line for the drain. 

Sleek Wine Rack System for a Wine Cellar in Riverside County, California

Nowadays, more and more people are incorporating modernism into their homes. Even owners of traditional homes choose to incorporate contemporary features in their living space. Minimalist designs are increasing in popularity in many parts of the world.  

Wooden wine racks are still a favorite choice in wine cellar construction. However, most wine collectors are now choosing metal wine rack systems for their wine display and storage facility.  

For this home wine cellar project in Riverside County, we installed stainless steel wine racks. The label-forward horizontal display orientation of the racking system allows for ease in locating a specific wine. We installed the wine racks on the left, right, and back walls.  

Modern Glass Door and Walls 

Ongoing Construction Wine Cooler Split System Installation Project in Riverside County Home

Home Wine Cellar with Glass Door and Walls

The type of door is one of the significant factors to consider when insulating the wine room choosing a wine cellar refrigeration system. On this particular project, a 9-foot frameless glass door was used. The walls are also made of glass. The amount of glass required a higher amount of room insulation. 

To help the wine cooling system maximize its efficiency, we always see to it that the door is sealed correctly. We equipped the door with sealing components to prevent air leakage to and from the cellar. Poor room insulation will force the cooling unit to work hard to achieve the ideal temperature required for the graceful aging of the wine. When this happens, your climate-control system will break down, resulting in a significant expense for the unit repair or worse, replacement.    

Moreover, incorrect wine cellar insulation will trigger mold growth in the walls and ceiling, even on the wine labels and racks. Do not let mold damage your wine investment.
