Poor ventilation, dirty coils, high room heat load, or faulty fans are common culprits. Cleaning and restoring airflow often resolves the issue.
For many wine collectors, Breezaire’s WKL series stands out for its quiet operation, steady climate control, and simple installation, making it a trusted option for home cellars.
Requirements vary by model, but through-the-wall units like Breezaire generally need an exhaust area at least three times the volume of the cellar to allow proper heat dissipation.
The most cost-effective approach is to use a through-the-wall self-contained cooling unit sized to your cellar. For smaller spaces, a Breezaire WKL model can be an economical and reliable long-term choice compared to ducted or split systems.
This can be caused by clogged air filters, restricted airflow, refrigerant leaks, thermostat issues, or dirty condenser coils. Start by checking ventilation and cleaning components—if that doesn’t fix the issue, schedule a professional inspection.
Yes. Without a cooling system, temperature and humidity fluctuations can damage corks, labels, and the wine’s flavor profile over time.
Ensure the space is fully insulated with a vapor barrier, remove any heat sources, and use a cellar-specific cooling system such as a Breezaire to maintain consistent temperature and humidity.
Cooling units require adequate exhaust ventilation. For through-the-wall units, the exhaust side should vent into an open space large enough—ideally at least three times the volume of the cellar—to dissipate warm air effectively.
Keep bottles in a temperature-controlled cellar or wine fridge set to around 55°F with 60–70% humidity. In tropical or desert climates, proper insulation is essential to protect against extreme heat.
Check for airflow blockages, clean the filters, and ensure proper ventilation. If the problem remains, have a technician check for refrigerant leaks or electrical faults.
