Protect your wine collection with Breezaire Self-Contained Wine Cooling Units, designed to deliver dependable temperature and humidity control with simple, through-the-wall installation. These all-in-one cooling systems require no external condenser or refrigerant lines, making them an ideal solution for residential wine cellars seeking reliable performance, quiet operation, and hassle-free installation.
Our wine cellar experts are ready to assist in finding the ideal wine-cooling unit for your cellar. Just tell us the style, size, budget, and cellar details – we’ll handle the rest.
Most homeowners — and unfortunately many contractors — size a cooling unit off room area alone. That approach ignores the variables that actually determine how hard a compressor has to work, and it’s the single biggest cause of oversized, undersized, and short-cycling wine cellar cooling systems.
“My room is 200 sq ft, so I need a 5,000 BTU unit” ignores everything that actually drives heat gain into the cellar.
A proper heatload calculation measures the actual thermal load your cellar generates, in BTU/hr — the only number a compressor cares about.
Ceiling height changes total air volume even when the floor space stays the same.
Wall, ceiling, and vapor barrier quality determine how much heat penetrates in cellar.
Glass walls and doors gain heat far faster than insulated walls, especially in direct sun.
The temperature and humidity of the space surrounding your cellar changes the load significantly.
Send us your cellar’s dimensions, insulation, glass, and location details — our consultants calculate the precise heatload and recommend the right Breezaire unit, not just the biggest one.

A Breezaire self-contained wine cooling unit is an all-in-one climate control system designed specifically for residential wine cellars. Unlike split systems, the evaporator and condenser are housed in a single unit, making installation simpler and more cost-effective while maintaining ideal wine storage temperatures.
The unit is installed through the wall of your wine cellar. It removes heat from the cellar and exhausts it into an adjacent room or space while maintaining the proper temperature and humidity needed for long-term wine storage.
Most wine collectors set their Breezaire unit between 55°F and 58°F, which is considered the ideal temperature range for aging both red and white wines.
Choosing the correct unit depends on much more than the cellar’s cubic footage. Factors such as:
all affect the required cooling capacity. A professional heat load calculation is the best way to determine the proper model.
Many homeowners can install the unit if the wine cellar is properly constructed and an appropriate through-the-wall opening is available. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct ventilation, airflow, and long-term performance.
Unlike split systems, Breezaire self-contained units do not require refrigerant line installation. However, if electrical work or modifications to the wall are needed, hiring qualified professionals is recommended.
The unit exhausts warm air into an adjacent room, utility area, or mechanical space. The exhaust location should have adequate ventilation and should not be another conditioned wine cellar.
Yes, provided the garage stays within Breezaire’s recommended ambient temperature limits and has adequate airflow. Extremely hot garages may reduce cooling performance.
No. Breezaire self-contained units are not designed to vent directly outdoors. If outdoor condenser placement is required, consider a Breezaire split system instead.
Breezaire units are known for their relatively quiet operation. While the compressor and fan produce some sound, they are designed to minimize vibration and operate quietly enough for most residential wine cellars.
Yes. Breezaire systems are designed to maintain stable cellar temperatures efficiently when installed in a properly insulated and sealed wine cellar.
Glass walls significantly increase the cooling load, especially if they are single-pane or exposed to direct sunlight. Large glass wine cellars often require a professional heat load calculation and may need a larger cooling unit than a standard room of the same size.
The capacity depends on the specific model selected and the cellar’s heat load. Proper sizing should always be based on insulation, glass area, lighting, and environmental conditions—not just room dimensions.

Wine collectors and others who store or age delicate products have special requirements that cannot be satisfied by standard refrigeration equipment. Unlike air conditioners or commercial refrigeration systems. Our units gently cool the air without removing the moisture. Its essential for maintaining the integrity of the corks and the wine itself. Only excess moisture is removed in order to maintain 50% to 75% relative humidity. Our units are not made to chill wines to a low serving temperature or to cool “service cabinets,” which are opened or entered frequently.
The most popular cooling systems are completely self-contained modules that are simply mounted on a wall and connected to a standard 115 AC source. No plumbing, complicated wiring, or special procedures including the on-site installation of refrigerant, are required. The gentle cooling action of the system maintains the relative humidity in the 50 to 75 percent range. Thus eliminating excess moisture but never allowing the air to become dry enough to create an undesirable condition. (Additional moisture may be required in extremely dry climates.)
