Start by calculating your wine cellar’s cubic footage (length × width × height). For spaces under 500 cu.ft., compact units like the Breezaire WKCE 1060 or WKL 1060 are ideal. Also factor in insulation quality, door type, and any glass surfaces, which may require upsizing to the next model.
The ideal storage temperature is 55°F–58°F. Breezaire units are factory-set to maintain this range, with Sentry III controls to prevent harmful temperature swings that can affect wine quality.
A self-contained through-the-wall cooling unit, like a Breezaire WKCE, is the most cost-effective option. These units require no ductwork, plumbing, or special installation, keeping setup costs low while ensuring reliable wine preservation.
With regular maintenance, Breezaire cooling units typically last 8–12 years. Cleaning filters, ensuring proper ventilation, and scheduling routine inspections help maximize their lifespan.
