It's time to get serious about your fine wine collection. Wine Guardian patented Through-the-Wall (TTW) wine cellar cooling units bring exceptional airflow and optimal temperature control to ensure you enjoy 100% of the flavors of your wine.

TTW units match maximum efficiency with quiet operation to create peak wine storage conditions for your small- to mid-sized wine room or wine wall.

The EasyMount™ one-piece wall bracket makes installation possible for any wine aficionado. Just insert the TTW into your cellar wall, make your drain connection, and plug it in. It's really that simple to get set up and start enjoying your wine.

The TTW's stylized air vents, bold silver faceplate, curved edges, and sleek touchscreen controls were designed to seamlessly integrate into the unique style of the modern wine cellar. These systems are engineered to look beautiful – and stay beautiful. Commercial-grade, corrosion resistant components and an all-aluminum frame keep the TTW unit looking good as it ages alongside your wine collection.

With a built-in thermostat, Wine Guardian lets you monitor temperature and humidity and control temperature right at the face of the TTW unit. Want to control and monitor the conditions while in your kitchen or den? Not a problem. Thanks to Wireless2Base™ technology, an additional controller and sensors can connect to your TTW anywhere in your home — so you can control your wine cellar wherever is most convenient to you.

A properly humidified wine space ensures the ultimate preservation and enjoyment of wine. As with improper temperature conditions, uncontrolled humidity can have devastating effects on wine like mold, loss of liquid, and dried out corks — just to name a few. Wine Guardian TTW units can be paired alongside a Wine Guardian Humidifier to create an environment perfectly curated for wine storage.

Versatile and self-contained. Wine Guardian ducted wine cellar cooling systems have been engineered for maximum flexibility in design and installation. Advanced wine cellar cooling technology creates optimal environmental conditions for any sized wine collection in any sized space - whether that is a residential, a restaurant, or commercial wine cellar.

With ducted wine cellar conditioning systems, a grille on the inside cellar wall is connected by insulated flexible ductwork to the self-contained unit outside the wine cellar. These complete systems house the evaporator, fans, compressor, condenser, and controls in just a single unit.

Relish in the quietness of your wine room with no obtrusive equipment taking up valuable wine racking space. Ducted wine cellar cooling systems are designed to be installed in a space outside the wine cellar, keeping your wine cool and your cellar quiet, beautiful, and efficient.

We've made ducted wine cellar cooling units easy for contractors to install. Just connect the ductwork, make the drain connection, and plug it in. That's it. No cutting copper and no licensed contractor needed on site.

Need to install the system against a wall or ceiling? No problem. Multiple duct configurations can be made without having to remove the fan motor or any other internal component.

Like knights of the olden days, Wine Guardian watches over your wine room's conditions 24/7. Equipped with air sensing technology, Wine Guardian's modern remote interface controller constantly monitors the temperature and humidity of your cellar. If conditions leave the optimal range, the system will take action and steer the cellar back to ideal temperatures – before your wine collection is affected.

The ducted system's remote interface controller allows you to control temperature and measure humidity. With Wine Guardian-designed Wireless2Base™ technology, the controller can be placed inside the cellar, a kitchen, den or wherever is most convenient for you. An additional controller and remote sensors can be remotely connected for accurate measurements when the controller is placed outside the cellar.

Crucial yet almost always overlooked, proper cellar humidification ensures you can enjoy 100% of the flavors of your wine. Mold, loss of liquid, and dried out corks are just some of the ways improper humidity can degrade wine quality. Wine Guardian humidifiers attach directly to your ducted system and introduce humidity back into your cellar.

With easy access quarter-turn fasteners, we've made self-contained wine cellar cooling units simple for servicepersons to get into the ducted unit, make repairs, and move onto the next job. And unlike our competitors, all Wine Guardian units are fully serviceable in field without needing to be returned to factory.

A wide variety of option bundles and accessories are available to better control the device and meet your application needs.

• Water-cooled

• Heating

• Serving temperature

• Humidity

Outstanding wine preservation in our most flexible system. The Wine Guardian Ducted Split wine cellar cooling system protects your wine collection by providing superb air distribution and temperature control. With multiple models with different capacities – the Ducted Split system can suit any sized residential, restaurant, or commercial wine space.

To enable maximum installation flexibility, Wine Guardian designed the split wine cellar cooling system evaporator and condenser sections to be two individual units, giving installers versatility regardless of application constraints. By separating the units, the condenser can be placed outside the home, creating a wine cellar that is quiet and vibration-free.

Enjoy the beautiful craftwork of your wine cellar without any equipment obstructing valuable wine storage space. Tucked away in a mechanical room and outside the home – the Ducted Split system works fulltime to ensure your wine collection remains at optimal long term-storage conditions while also preserving the sophistication of the space by staying hidden away from your cellar.

We engineered the Ducted Split system to be our most flexible unit – permitting installation no matter the system location or design of the wine cellar. The system can be easy applied to projects with the following restrictions:

• Mechanical rooms with limited space

• Condenser air is difficult to exhaust

• Long duct runs
  

The Ducted Split system is comprised two separate units: an evaporator and a condenser. Both units were designed and manufactured by Wine Guardian to work together.

The Ducted Split system was designed with licensed contractors in mind. Like standard residential ducted mini split systems - the Ducted Split's evaporator and condenser sections are connected through refrigerant copper tubing – helping to create a familiar installation process.

We've engineered the evaporator section for installation quickness and efficiency. If the unit needs to be mounted against a wall or ceiling - multiple duct configurations are possible without having to remove the fan motor or any other internal component.

Feel secure knowing Wine Guardian's split system for wine cellars is regulating your fine wine collection 24/7. Using advanced air sensing technology, the Ducted Split system's remote controller constantly monitors the temperature and humidity of your wine room. If conditions leave the optimal range, the system will take action and steer the cellar back to ideal temperatures - before your wine collection is affected.

Wine Guardian's split-wine-cooling-system remote interface controller allows you to control the temperature and measure humidity to conditions best suited for the types of wine in your collection. Using Wireless2Base™ technology, the wine cellar split system's controller can be placed wherever is most convenient for you – in a dining room, den, or even your kitchen. An extra controller and remote air sensors can be remotely connected for precise measurements when the controller is installed outside the wine space.

Easy access removable panels, front facing controls, and the condenser's refrigerant sight glass make it simple for servicepersons to get into the Ducted Split system, make their repairs, and move onto the next job. And unlike competing brands – all Wine Guardian systems are fully serviceable in field without needing to be returned to factory.

Wine Guardian Humidifiers can attach directly to your system to introduce humidity back into your cellar allowing you to enjoy the full potential of your wine collection. Mold, loss of liquid, and becoming spoiled are just a few ways improper humidity can impact wine. Take the risk away; trust Wine Guardian Humidifiers to maintain your wine's quality.

Humidification, heating, and even serving temperature – a wide variety of option bundles and accessories can be added to your Ducted Split system to better control wine room conditions to meet the unique needs of your wine.

Superior wine preservation for when ductwork isn't an option. The Ductless Split wine display cooling systems provide high quality cooling and airflow to keep your wine collection at the finest storage conditions while also giving installers maximum flexibility when working with limited space.

Available in three styles: Wine Wall, Ceiling Mounted, and Through-the-wall. These systems are the right choice for almost any small- to mid-sized wine wall, wine display, or wine room.

Wine Guardian offers three types of Ductless Split systems to best suit the needs of your space.

WINE WALL
A ductless wine cooling system made for wine walls. The Wine Wall Cooling System mounts completely flush with a wine wall's ceiling – creating a seamless integration with no bulky equipment visible. Supply and return slot diffusers along the length provide optimum distribution of conditioned air by directing air down into the wine wall and then returning it back into the cooling system.

CEILING MOUNTED
Introducing the finest cooling solution for your wine wall, wine display, or all-glass room. The Ceiling Mounted system seamlessly integrates into the wine display's ceiling without cutting joists – great for projects with limited wall space. Adaptable to any aesthetic – the system's grille can easily be painted to match the look and feel of the space.

THROUGH-THE-WALL
The Through-the-Wall Ductless Split system combines the installation simplicity of a traditional Through-the-Wall system with the cooling abilities and flexibility of a split system. With a sleek and attractive design made of commercial grade material, the Through-the-Wall is a stylish addition to your cellar that will also last the test of time.

Two separate units and zero ductwork make the Ductless Split system the perfect solution for wine room projects with the following restrictions:

• No room for ductwork

• Mechanical rooms with limited to no space

• Condenser air is difficult to exhaust

The Wine Wall Cooling System and the Ceiling Mounted system feature our patented ceiling mount system with hinge design that acts as a second hand while installing, making one person installations are simple.

Large cellars can offer a luxurious and spacious area to both preserve and enjoy your collection.

Small cellars are more easily added to existing homes, often by converting unused or extra space.

Commercial cellars can store thousands of wine bottles and require top-of-the-line solutions.

Under stair cellars are an opportunity to convert an unused space into an attractive wine storage solution.

Wine cabinets are a great solution for limited space or to retrofit existing areas.

Wine displays are a great way for businesses and enthusiasts alike to make a bold statement with their wine collections.

Furs, instruments, cigars and sensitive documents are just a few of the specialty collections that Wine Guardian can also protect.

The biggest challenges to wine storage on a boat are environmental. Temperature and humidity fluctuations are common at sea, and vibrations from both the ship's engine and the ocean itself are detrimental to fragile wines. Proper wine storage is vital as it's essential for aging classic wines.

Even on a yacht, space is at a premium. Ideally, yacht owners would plan a wine cellar as their ship is being built, but if your storage space is an afterthought, some creative thinking will be in order. Closets, stairways, and even a butler's pantry can all be converted into cellars.

Art, old photographs, and documents are a class of precious items especially vulnerable to the negative effects of temperature and humidity. These are also the possessions often stored in dank basements and stuffy attic spaces, which accelerate their deterioration. In other instances, well-intended collectors preserve their art with air conditioners designed to cool human beings. Wine Guardian Pro cooling units provide tighter climate control protection—within plus or minus 1 F° (0.5 C°)—that will preserve valuables for a long period of time. Custom solutions are also available to meet the specific needs of any unique application. To make an informed decision one must first understand how it all works.

Most professional musicians, collectors, and serious hobbyists cherish their instruments. They are a source of joy, identity, and potentially a source of income. If we want to enjoy them for as long as possible, they deserve the highest level of care. This includes when we put them away for safekeeping. As a result, finding a long-term musical instrument storage solution should become a priority.

Most musical instruments are best stored clean and in their original cases. However, taking care of these prized possessions extends far beyond storing a guitar upright or keeping a flute in its case – especially when storing them for long periods of time. The elements that have the highest potential to damage instruments are temperature and humidity.

Storing food for long periods, of a year or more, is gaining in popularity among the residential sector. Between the uncertainty associated with living through a pandemic and the financial benefits of stocking up, long-term food storage just makes sense. People are able to store canned goods, freeze-dried foods, bulk items, and even wheat in the same space. However, homeowners should be aware of several factors that have the potential to jeopardize the success of long-term food storage.

For a select audience, cigars are one of life's guilty pleasures and storing them properly is the only way to ensure quality when you are ready to enjoy them. Unsurprisingly, proper humidity is at the cornerstone of an enjoyable cigar experience. Too much humidity will make it difficult to smoke or light a cigar or will cause it to burn unevenly; it may also give the cigar an undesirable, moldy taste. Too little humidity will dry out the oils that provide elasticity to the cigar wrapper, which will end up cracking. The oils also hold all the flavor of a fine cigar and vanish in a dry environment or leave behind a bitter taste. The lack of moisture also causes the cigar to burn rapidly.

Climate control for fur storage is less about maintenance and more about process control. The most important element in preserving fur is temperature, which protects it from deterioration. Suitable temperatures are below 55℉ (13℃) at a minimum with 34-45℉ (1-7℃) being ideal. However, there is such a thing as too cold. Freezing temperatures cause fur to expand, while thawing causes it to contract. Repeating this process season after season stretches and even tears fur—jeopardizing its longevity.

Computer server rooms house expensive technology systems that are vulnerable to the harmful effects of improper temperature and humidity levels. Even large smart homes may have enough electronics to generate hot spots that can threaten equipment. All of the associated consequences, including those of improper hot spot remediation, can be easily prevented through proper storage.

Maintaining a consistent temperature between 64°-80℉ (20°-27℃) is particularly critical for preventing server room hot spots. When ambient room temperatures reach above 80℉, equipment often exceeds 100℉ (38℃) and causes system failures and damage. Even temperatures that are too low can cause thermal stress and harm. Humidity is also a consideration in the preservation of technology equipment. Lack of moisture in the air will cause a buildup of static electricity potentially causing harm to the equipment.
