This is area for the New Jersey wine cellar before the transformation of niche.
Just how difficult was this particular project for them? Well, the area in question was a small niche that was located in between the client’s dining area and kitchen (pictured here). Now, you would likely think that this space would be a very difficult area to fashion a wine cellar into, and you would be correct about that. However, the client had put so much faith in the team that they willingly committed themselves to finding a solution agreeable to both parties. Below is how they went about it.
Creating a Useful “Niche”
The niche that was between the dining and the kitchen area may appear to be just “there”, with no particular function, but it clearly served a purpose for the client: it housed a mini-cellar cabinet, which meant he was already eyeing the space to house a wine cellar.
After a lengthy consultation with the client on what he was looking for in a wine cellar, the Custom Wine Cellars Vancouver team then took precise measurements that would allow his 632 (and counting) wine bottle collection to fit in such a modest space.
This is the 3D blueprint for the New Jersey wine cellar.

Licensed HVAC professionals are the only ones capable of providing quality services for wine cellar cooling equipment. Whether it’s installing, maintaining, or repairing a wine storage cooling system, an HVAC expert should be hired. A client from Irvine, California is a good example for other wine collectors to follow. When the client found that their wine room refrigeration unit was leaking refrigerant, they called M&M Cellar Systems for help.
Client in Irvine, Orange County Sought the Help of HVAC Technicians from M&M Cellar Systems
When a residential wine cellar owner in Irvine noticed that their cooling unit was leaking, they immediately called M&M Cellar Systems, a trusted wine storage cooling expert in California. A team of licensed HVAC professionals from the company went to the client’s residence to inspect the problem, and they found that their refrigeration system was leaking Freon.
This wine cooling unit in a residential wine cellar in Irvine, California was leaking Freon. A team of wine cooling technicians from M&M Cellar Systems went to repair the leak. Learn more about M&M Cellar Systems by checking them out on Facebook!
The HVAC Repair Team Located the Leak Site to Fix it
Generally, when a wine cellar cooling unit is leaking Freon, it does not stop functioning immediately. The damage is gradual, and that is why refrigerant leaks are not noticeable until the entire refrigeration system has finally broken down. With the Irvine client, their cooling unit was still functioning properly, but it was not going to continue to do so if the leak was not repaired immediately.
To repair the cooling unit properly, the HVAC team had to find the exact location of the leak first. The cooling specialists used the UV Light Leak Detection Method. In this procedure, the technicians injected a dye into the cooling system. The dye was allowed to circulate through the refrigeration unit for about a month, and exit through the leak sites with the refrigerant.
Through the leak detection procedure, the team found that the leak was located inside the wine storage climate control unit. To repair the hole, they had to disassemble the unit. Once they gained access to the leak, they applied a can of stop leak to seal the problem.
Recovering and Reusing the Lost Freon
There are two known solutions to fix Freon leaks. The first way is by replacing the entire evaporator coil. Although this is a common practice, it is very costly to perform. The alternative method, which is less expensive, is draining out the Freon, sealing the leak, and recycling the Freon into the cooling system.
In the Irvine refrigeration unit repair project, the cooling experts decided to remove the Freon from the climate control system and seal the leak. They also made sure that the recovered refrigerant was kept clean and away from contaminants so that they could reuse it. To seal the hole, the team applied a can of stop leak. When the problem was completely repaired, they added back the recycled refrigerant into the cooling unit.
When the HVAC technicians recovered and reused the refrigerant, they made sure that no Freon was released into the air. Freon is harmful to the environment. Studies show that it can cause damage to the atmosphere.
The team of refrigeration experts had to come back a month after the repair to evaluate the effectiveness of the stop leak. When they did, they found that the problem was successfully fixed, because no refrigerant was leaking anymore. Consequently, the client was satisfied with the team’s service.

A wine cellar cooling unit cannot function properly without refrigerant. A refrigerant is the one responsible for creating the cool air that refrigeration units provide. Freon is one of the most popular refrigerants used in most cooling equipment.
Freon is a collective trade name for a number of compounds that are used as refrigerants in cooling units. When placed in room temperature, Freon turns to gas. It goes back to liquid form when placed in a cooler temperature or when compressed.
A refrigerant is a vital element of an effective wine cellar cooling system. If a refrigeration unit is losing refrigerant through a leak, it can gradually stop functioning. This is why it is necessary that you have a regular cooling system maintenance plan, so that you can detect problems with your equipment and be able to have it fixed immediately. Problems such as Freon leaks need to be detected early and repaired promptly; otherwise the damage could worsen and the repair could become more costly.
Wine fridges are a wine collector’s best friend when it comes to an affordable and efficient wine storage solution. It’s easier to organize wine bottles using wine fridges. With the many styles and sizes to choose from, wine fridges can offer the wine storage abilities you are looking for.
Wine fridges are also known as wine cabinets. Unlike regular refrigerators, wine fridges are equipped with the right equipment and climate conditions for proper wine aging.
So, why choose a wine fridge?
Here are the 5 benefits of wine fridges:
Wine Fridges are Functional
Wine fridges operate in a practical way, thanks to the simplicity of their construction; every part of the equipment serves its purpose.
Wine fridges can be space savers. They are available in various sizes and bottle capacities, to suit your storage needs.
Wine Fridge Selection
Storage capacity is maximized with wine fridges. Most models can store different sizes of wine bottles, so you will not be limited to just one bottle size in your collection.
Wine fridges can also be incorporated into the cabinetry design of your home. They are easy to mix and match, and blend well with various cabinetry materials.
Wine Fridges are Efficient
Efficiency is one of the assets of wine fridges. Compared to regular refrigerators, wine fridges are specifically designed to ensure the optimum aging of wines.
Wine fridges are equipped with cooling systems that maintain the ideal wine storage environment. Temperature and humidity are the two critical factors that most affect wine aging. With the help of cooling systems, temperature and humidity levels are constantly maintained.
Single or Dual Temperature Option – Vinopro Wine Fridges
Wine fridges with dual temperature zones allow efficient wine cooling specifically for red wines and white wines. Red wines are stored within the temperature range of 16 to 20 degrees Celsius, while white wines are stored within the temperature range of 6 to 12 degrees Celsius.
Some wine fridges have alarm systems, which send signals when there is a significant deviation in the temperature or humidity levels. This gives you an assurance that your wines will always be in good condition.
Wine fridges are energy savers as well. Trusted brands of wine fridges are designed with an energy-saving mechanism that can help lessen the cost of electricity usage.
Wine Fridges are Stylish
Wine fridges come in various styles, sizes, and colors. There are wooden wine fridges, aluminum walled wine fridges, all glass door wine fridges, and different finishes to choose from (see examples below).
There are half size and full size options. Some brands of wine fridges are available in different depths, like the Wine KoolR’s single deep and double deep-format wine fridges.
Stylish Le Cache Wine Fridges
For some brands, you can choose different shelving configurations and wine fridge frame and panel colors, like that of EuroCave wine fridges (see examples below).
Spend as little as $749 (see Vinopro BI-56 Wine Fridge) to $5,000 for a wine fridge, depending on your wine storage capacity needs and design preferences.
Wine Fridges are Durable
Wine fridges are ideal for long-term wine storage, as long as you choose a high quality brand. Top-of-the-line materials and technology are now being used to produce impressively functional and sturdy wine fridges.
