Offering countless of strong points and advantages over other cooling systems, split cooling systems are now the number one choice of wine cellar owners in Orange County. Many of our clients at Arctic Metalworks have switched to split cooling systems for their wine cellar cooling needs because of its highly efficient and convenient functions especially for wine cellars located in places with warmer climates. When you are looking for a long lasting and high–quality split cooling unit, our experts can share their expertise on this matter.
What is a Split Cooling System for Wine Cellars?
A split cooling system is a type of cooling system wherein the evaporator is installed inside the wine cellar or ducted from another room and the compressor or the fan is in an adjacent room or outside. This setup of the split cooling system offers a lot of advantages and makes the split cooling system more superior over other cooling systems available in the market for wine cellars.
Why Utilize a Split Cooling System for Your Wine Cellar?
With the setup of the split cooling system, it reduces the noise produced inside the space where your wines are located, creating a more welcoming and hyped up ambience of your wine cellar. Installing one for your wine cellar also offers great service to the technical aspect of your wine room by not giving off heat to any adjacent rooms or areas, making future repairs or replacements a breeze.
What are the Two Types of Split Cooling System We Offer that can be Utilized for Wine Cellar Cooling?
Our split cooling systems can be categorized into two different types, the ducted and the ductless “mini split” cooling system with both the types having their own advantages and disadvantages.
1. Ducted Cooling Units
Ducted cooling units distribute air through ducts that are installed behind the walls or the ceiling of your storage space. These units are extremely quiet and vibration–free. Also, these units are designed and built specifically for wine cellar usage. Our experts highly recommend making use of a ducted split cooling system for wine cellars that have little to no extra space to install other types of units and for wine cellars that are situated in places with warmer climates. Ducted systems are also better at controlling humidity which makes them perfect for wine cellars.
2. Ductless “Mini Split” Cooling System
Ductless or Mini-Split cooling units, on the other hand, are residential air conditioning units that have been modified to be utilized to work at lower temperatures such as wine cellars. Despite its popularity among consumers because of its aesthetics and modern look, we hardly encourage our clients to purchase ductless split cooling units. This is because these units are not designed to work at higher temperatures and lower humidity so using them as the cooling system for your wine cellar would put too much stress on the cooling unit. But this doesn’t mean that is a bad choice for a wine cellar cooling unit.
