Stable Wine Cellar Climate Control is a critical part of any Custom Wine Cellar. Custom Wine Cellars by Coastal chose the RM Series – Wine Rack Mount Cellar Cooling Units for their recent Custom Wine Room Santa Monica installation in Pacific Palisades in Santa Monica and many others for numerous reasons.
It is the only split system we are aware of that can be concealed in a wood grill box and louvered grill cover to match the wood species of the cellarage without voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. This is a desirable feature as it eliminates unsightly equipment in the wine cellar. We also recommend and prefer to install, split wine cellar cooling systems as they do not need to mount through the wall to vent heat and noise that self-contained wine cooling systems tend to emit. This makes for a quiet and peaceful environment in the owners home. This is especially important if the wine cellar is also used as a wine tasting room and for entertaining.
The RM split system is also a particularly versatile unit as it can be ceiling or wall mounted. In our experience we have found it to be one of the most reliable, long lasting and quiet systems on the market. In addition and unlike self-contained wine cooling units, it can be serviced on site. This makes for simpler and less disruptive long term maintenance.
See the two photos in this post of the Wine Rack Mount Wine Cellar Cooling Unit. One of the evaporator exposed, the second shows how well the unit can be concealed behind the louvered grill cover.
