To keep wine safely stored and tastefully aging, a quality refrigeration system should be installed in your home wine cellar, and it should be functioning optimally all the time. Subscribe to a regular unit maintenance program, so that you can always check for problems and have them fixed promptly.
Recently, M&M Cellar Systems repaired a cooling unit in a wine storage room in Irvine, Orange County, California. This project is an excellent example of why a regular maintenance plan is necessary.
Repair of an HS 4600 Refrigeration Unit in Irvine, Orange County
M&M Cellar Systems recently received a call from a client in Irvine, Orange County. The client needed help to repair their leaking home wine cellar cooling system. The equipment was an HS 4600 cooling unit manufactured by one of the company’s dealers, US Cellar Systems. The HS Series of refrigeration equipment are robust and reliable cooling system. They are designed to efficiently cool small wine storage rooms.
M&M Cellars Systems sent a team of HVAC professionals to the client’s residence to investigate the problem. The team found a leak in the unit’s refrigerant. Although the refrigeration system was adequately cooling the cellar, it would not continue doing so if the problem was not promptly fixed.
This case is an example of why wine cellar owners should subscribe to a regular cooling unit maintenance plan.
A Quality Cooling Unit is a Vital Part of an Effective Wine Storage System
Genuine wine enthusiasts know that one can only enjoy wine if it is properly stored in the right conditions. A prudent wine collector will invest in building an effective wine storage system to keep wines safe while they age tastefully.
The Ideal Conditions for Storing Wine
Wines need to be stored in a cool environment. Ideally, a wine storage room should be cooled to a temperature of approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit with minimal to no fluctuations. Gradual fluctuations, such as those caused by changes in seasons, are not a big concern. The problems come with rapid fluctuations. If the temperature in your residential cellar fluctuates too fast and too often, your wines will age prematurely.
Wines also need to be stored in a room that is adequately humid. Your wine cellar should have a humidity level of approximately 70%. If your cellar is too humid, mold and mildew might form, and these can contaminate your wines. On the other hand, if your storage space is too dry, corks can dry out and shrink. This can cause air to enter the bottles and negatively alter the flavor of your wines.
Have a Home Custom Wine Cellar Built
Those who take wine collecting seriously know how important it is to invest in the construction of a wine storage system in their own home. For the cellar to be effective in keeping wines safe and aging properly, the essentials of a functional wine storage room should be complete. A durable cellar door should be built, reliable vapor barriers and insulation should be installed, proper lighting should be mounted, flooring should be professionally fixed, and a quality refrigeration unit should be chosen and put into use.
No home wine cellar is functional without a cooling unit. No matter how well the cellar is built, if no refrigeration equipment is not installed, the storage system is useless.

The Importance of Having a Regular Maintenance Plan for your Cooling Unit
Keep your wines safe by preventing temperature and humidity fluctuations in your residential wine cellar. This means that you need to make sure that the installed cooling unit is consistently functioning properly.
There are many cases wherein you won’t notice any overt damage to your wine cellar refrigeration unit. Concealed problems, such as Freon leaks, will not get noticed until the cooling system has started to function irregularly. By then, the damage can be too costly to fix.
A regular cooling unit maintenance plan is important because it keeps you updated on the condition of your cellar refrigeration equipment. Regular servicing provides the opportunity for early detection of any concealed problems, such as refrigerant leaks. Early detection means that prompt repair can be implemented too.
Avoid problems with your home cellar cooling equipment. Seek the help of a wine storage system expert and subscribe to their regular unit maintenance plan.
