A CellarPro Air Handler is a high-capacity, ducted split wine cooling system designed for medium-to-large custom wine cellars (up to 2,500+ cubic feet). Unlike standard self-contained units, an Air Handler separates the evaporator (air handler inside or near the cellar) from the condensing unit (placed outdoors or in a mechanical room), delivering conditioned air through ductwork to eliminate visible equipment and operational noise inside the wine cellar.

A CellarPro ducted wine cooling unit is a special refrigeration system made to regulate the temperature and humidity in a wine cellar. It operates by cooling the air and distributing it through a duct system to ensure even temperature distribution.

Ducted systems allow for discreet and even distribution of cool air, preventing temperature variations in the wine cellar. They are ideal for larger wine cellars and spaces with specific aesthetic requirements.

CellarPro offers ducted units in various models with different cooling capacities, making them suitable for wine cellars of different sizes. The choice of model should align with your cellar’s dimensions and insulation.

These units have user-friendly digital controls and displays, allowing you to easily set and monitor both temperature and humidity levels for precise wine storage conditions.

No, CellarPro ducted units are designed for quiet operation, ensuring minimal noise disruption in your wine cellar or the surrounding living space.

Yes, some CellarPro ducted units offer optional humidity control features, allowing you to maintain the recommended humidity range of 60-70%, which is essential for proper wine aging and preservation.

Professional installation is recommended for ducted units to ensure proper setup, performance, and warranty coverage. A professional installer can also design and install the ducting system for efficient cooling.

Warranty coverage may vary by model, but CellarPro typically offers a warranty ranging from 2 to 5 years, providing peace of mind for your wine cellar cooling investment. Review the specific warranty details for your chosen model to ensure coverage.

The Air Handler unit acts as the indoor evaporator, drawing warm air out of the cellar through return ductwork, cooling and humidifying it, and circulating cold air back into the cellar through supply grilles. The condensing unit compresses and dissipates heat elsewhere. This ducting process allows for completely silent operation inside the cellar space.

CellarPro Air Handler systems are engineered for substantial residential or commercial wine displays:

• AH6500 Series: Suitable for cellars up to 1,500 cubic feet.

• AH8500 Series: Suitable for cellars up to 2,000 cubic feet.

• AH12000 Series: Designed for large luxury cellars or commercial displays up to 2,500+ cubic feet.

(Exact sizing depends on thermal load factors, such as wall insulation ratings and total square footage of glass enclosures).

• Zero Noise & Clean Aesthetics: Equipment is housed in a mechanical closet or attic, leaving only discreet supply and return air vents visible in the wine cellar.

• Higher Cooling Capacity: Built with higher BTUH output to handle heavy heat loads, high ambient temperatures, and extensive glass walls.

• Flexible Installation: Ductwork can run up to 50+ feet, providing flexible placement options for indoor air handlers and outdoor condensers.

• Commercial-Grade Durability: Designed with heavy-duty components for continuous, long-term temperature and humidity management.

Yes. CellarPro Air Handlers are calibrated to maintain cellar temperatures between 55°F and 58°F and relative humidity levels between 50% and 70%. Their oversized evaporator coils prevent moisture from freezing off the coils, preserving optimal ambient humidity required to keep natural corks moist.

Yes. CellarPro Air Handler split systems offer outdoor-rated condensing units equipped with weather-resistant housings, crankcase heaters, and variable-speed fan controls. This allows the heat-generating condenser to function reliably outdoors in extreme ambient conditions ranging from -20°F up to 110°F.

Yes. Because a CellarPro Air Handler is a split system involving copper line set installation, line evacuation, and field charging with R-410A (or R-134a) refrigerant, installation must be completed by a licensed HVAC-R technician. Professional installation is essential to ensure proper performance and maintain full warranty coverage.

CellarPro Air Handler units include a standard factory warranty:

• 5-Year Warranty covering the compressor against manufacturing defects.

• 2-Year Warranty covering all internal parts and electronic components.
