All cooling systems are made to deliver superior performance. Built using only the highest quality components and hand assembly by expert craftsmen in our U.S. production facilities.
All Breezaire systems are made to control vibration by dampening mounts throughout the cooling system. All units are hand assembled and tested to ensure that they meet the most exacting standards, resulting in wines that have greater clarity and brilliance.
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.
A Breezaire split wine cooling unit is a two-piece cooling system designed for wine cellars. The evaporator is installed inside the cellar, while the condenser is located in a separate area. This configuration helps reduce noise and heat within the wine storage space.
A split system separates the cooling and heat-producing components into two locations. Through-the-wall units contain all components in one housing and vent heat into an adjacent room. Split systems are generally preferred when quiet operation and flexible installation options are important.
Yes. Since the condenser is installed away from the wine cellar, most operational noise is removed from the storage area. This makes split systems an excellent choice for luxury wine cellars, dining rooms, and living spaces.
Breezaire split systems are available in multiple capacities to accommodate small residential wine rooms as well as larger custom wine cellars. Proper sizing depends on cellar dimensions, insulation, glass exposure, ceiling height, and ambient temperatures.
Yes. Split systems are commonly used in glass wine cellars because they provide efficient cooling while keeping equipment out of sight. However, glass walls and doors increase cooling demands, so accurate load calculations are essential.
The condenser can typically be installed outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor mechanical room, depending on the model and installation requirements. Proper airflow and service accessibility should always be considered.
Yes. Breezaire split systems are designed to maintain wine-friendly humidity levels while providing stable temperature control. Proper cellar construction and vapor barrier installation are important for achieving optimal humidity performance.
Most wine collectors store wine between 55°F and 58°F for long-term aging. Breezaire systems allow users to adjust settings within the recommended wine preservation range.
Many wine cellar owners choose split systems because they can cool efficiently while reducing heat buildup around the cellar. Proper sizing and installation help maximize energy efficiency and system performance.
Yes. Unlike self-contained cooling units, split systems require refrigerant line connections, electrical work, and specialized installation procedures. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper operation and warranty compliance.
The allowable distance depends on the specific Breezaire model and installation specifications. Refrigerant line length limitations should always be reviewed before planning the installation.
Absolutely. Their quiet operation, hidden equipment design, and stable environmental control make them a popular choice for premium residential and commercial wine cellar projects.
Routine maintenance typically includes inspecting refrigerant lines, cleaning condenser coils, checking drainage systems, and ensuring adequate airflow around the condenser. Annual professional inspections can help maintain peak performance.
Benefits include:
Potential considerations include:
With proper installation and maintenance, Breezaire split systems can provide many years of reliable service. Regular maintenance and proper cellar construction help maximize system lifespan and performance.
A professionally designed wine cellar equipped with a quiet, high-quality split cooling system can enhance the appeal of luxury homes, particularly for wine enthusiasts and upscale property buyers.

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.
When our self-contained series will not meet your needs then the Breezeair WKSL split design will provide the flexibility needed to create an ideal installation or deal with unusual site problems. Breezeair WKSL Series cooling systems are special split systems that allow mounting of the cooling (evaporator) module in the enclosure to be cooled and the exhaust (condenser) module as far as 50 feet away.
