b. Ducted Self-Contained Wine Cellar Cooling Units

In this setup, the cooling system is altogether removed from the wine storage room, and is ducted into the wine cellar. In this configuration, not only is the wine cellar rid of the noisy cooling unit, but it is also made to look more aesthetically pleasing. Having a bulky mechanical appliance standing out from your wine racks and overall wine design can be a bit of an eyesore. Also, since the cooling unit is not inside the home custom wine cellar, you are allowed more space in the wine storage room. This type of cooling unit is a little bit pricey, though.

It is important to note that most self-contained ducted wine cellar cooling systems are designed solely to be ducted, but there are units that can pull double duty and work with or without ducting. In cases like this, you have the option of having cold air ducted into the cellar, or you may only be able to have hot air ducted away. Sometimes you can do both, depending on the model of the cooling unit.

2. Split Type Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit

A split type wine cellar refrigeration unit has the system’s parts (evaporator and condenser) placed in two separate housings. In this configuration, the noisy component (the condenser) can be placed in a location distant from the wine cellar. Split type cooling units also have 2 subtypes:

a. Ductless Split Type Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit

The original reason for making this kind of cooling unit was to solve the problem of noise inside the wine cellar. The condenser is placed outside the wine cellar in a different location, while the evaporator is kept inside the wine storage room. The two components are connected via liquid and suction wires.

This kind of wine cellar cooling system is quite costly, and it requires a HVAC professional for installation. This is the least recommended option among the different kinds of wine cellar cooling systems in Canada.

b. Ducted Split Type Wine Cellar Refrigeration Unit

In this configuration, you get all the advantages of a ducted wine cellar cooling system (quietness, aesthetic appeal, and increased space in the wine storage room), and you also get maximum installation flexibility. Ductless split type wine cellar refrigeration units are generally quite costly, and they also require an HVAC professional for their installation. This type of cooling unit is only recommended in cases wherein the installation of a self-contained cooling unit would simply not work.
