Installation and location

Best practice for installing your air conditioner in the right place, the easy way.

  • Why install an air conditioning unit in a wine cellar?

    Installing a wine cellar air conditioner is essential for maintaining a constant temperature, a key factor in preserving wine. Without air conditioning, temperature variations can alter the aromas and compromise the ageing of the wine.

  • How do I choose the right air conditioning unit for my wine cellar?

    To choose the right wine cellar air conditioner, consider the following factors: Cellar volume, type (serving or ageing cellar), noise level and connectivity.

  • What different types of installation are possible with our air conditioners?

    The different types of installation are as follows:

    • Through-wall: Installation can be on an external or internal wall (WINEC25X, WINEC50SX).
    • Ceiling or false ceiling mounting (WINEARM15X, WINESP40CAPRO2, WINESP40CEPRO2).
    • Wall-mounted (WINESP40CAPRO2).
    • Indoor ducted: The unit is inside and the ducts lead outside the cellar or the house (WINEIN25X, WINEIN50X).
    • Outdoor ductable: The unit is outside and the ducts lead to the inside of the cellar or house (WINEOUT25X, WINESP40DUPRO2, WINESP80DUPRO2).
    • Floor-standing in the cellar (WINESP100, WINEIN50X range).
    • On a door (WINEPC15).

  • How do you choose the ideal location for a wine cellar air conditioning unit?

    The ideal location for a wine cellar air conditioner is well ventilated and away from sources of heat. It is also advisable to choose a location that is easily accessible for maintenance.

  • How do you insulate a wine cellar?

    Insulation is crucial to optimising the efficiency of your wine cellar air conditioning unit. Use insulating materials such as rock wool or expanded polystyrene for the walls, ceiling and floor. Good insulation reduces cold loss and maintains a constant temperature.

  • What is the best insulation for a cellar?

    Expanded polystyrene and rock wool are the most commonly used insulation materials for wine cellars. They offer excellent thermal resistance and are easy to install.

  • Should I insulate the ceiling and floor of my wine cellar?

    Yes, it is advisable to insulate the ceiling, walls and floor to prevent cold loss and maintain a constant temperature. This improves the efficiency of your wine cellar air conditioner.

  • Do I need to insulate my wine cellar if it’s buried underground?

    Even if an underground cellar benefits from a naturally stable temperature, additional insulation is recommended to optimise wine conservation and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioning unit.

  • Do I need the help of a refrigeration engineer to install my air conditioning unit?

    Split air conditioners (except for the SP100 and SP100-8) require a refrigeration engineer to install and connect the units. For Monobloc air conditioners, installation is simpler and can often be carried out without professional help.

  • If I have a glazed cellar, what type of glass should I use and what are the losses?

    Opt for double or triple glazing with UV protection to minimise heat loss and protect the wine from light. Heat loss depends on the quality of the glazing, but good insulation reduces energy loss.
