CellarPro cooling units are not designed to heat the cellar space, so if temperatures inside the cellar
drop below proper wine storage
temperatures, the cooling unit cannot
create heat inside the cellar.
•Insulation
CellarPro cooling units are designed
to be installed inside wine cellars that
have proper insulation, moisture
barriers and an airtight seal from the
environment outside the cellar.
Interior walls and floor should
have a minimum of R-11 insulation,
and a vapor barrier on the warm side
of the insulation. The ceiling should
have a minimum of R-19 insulation
and a vapor barrier on the warm side
of the insulation. Doors also should be insulated and tightly sealed with weather s t r i p p i n g
a r o u n d t h e peri me ter o f the door. Surface-mounted fixtures are recommended
over recessed lighting, which can allow air to leak into the cellar.
