Medium Wine Cellar Cooling Units: 1,200 to 2,200 Cubic Feet

Eleven units sit in this band across four formats: the TTW04B Through-the-Wall in three trims, the ducted D025 and water-cooled D025WC, the DS025 ducted split, the CS050 in Wine Wall and Ceiling Mount versions, and the Pro DP25, DP25WC and SP25. Wine Guardian publishes 250 to 2,000 cubic feet for the D025 class and the DS025, and 250 to 2,200 cubic feet for the CS050. Final sizing should be confirmed with Wine Guardian's official documentation and a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor.

Only one unit in this group has a published range that reaches 2,200 cubic feet, and that is the CS050. Nine of the eleven units here stop at 2,000 cubic feet or below, so a room between 2,000 and 2,200 cubic feet narrows the shortlist to the CS050 or moves you into the next group up. Rooms at the edge of a band also behave worse than their volume suggests once they carry glass, a warm adjacent space or a door that opens often, so have a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor confirm the choice rather than reading the range alone.

It is usually the same chassis in a different build or on a different mounting kit. The CS050 appears twice in this group, once as a Wine Wall unit and once as a Ceiling Mount, and the 025 ducted class appears as both an air-cooled and a water-cooled unit. Across groups, a series spans bands because each capacity class in the series gets its own band, and a unit is placed by the top of its published cellar-volume range rather than by where that range starts.

Glass adds no volume, but it changes the load. Cubic feet are measured on the finished internal space of the room, so a glass wall contributes only the space it encloses. Wine Guardian's own cubic-foot figures assume no glass at all, which is why a 2,000 cubic foot cellar behind a full glass wall can need the equipment a solid-walled room of 2,200 cubic feet would take. Enter the glass area as glass in Wine Guardian's cooling calculator, then have a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor confirm the result.

The volume is measured the same way, but a commercial room carries loads a home cellar does not: doors opening through every service hour, display lighting, staff working in the room and frequently a warm back-of-house space on the other side of the wall. Commercial rooms are also expected to hold temperature continuously rather than recover overnight. A restaurant, bar or wine shop that measures inside this band on volume alone can therefore need equipment from a larger group, and that calculation belongs with a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor.

Several. Wine Guardian publishes 250 to 2,000 cubic feet for the D025 and the D025WC and 250 to 2,000 cubic feet for the DS025, and 250 to 2,200 cubic feet for the CS050, so a 2,000 cubic foot cellar sits at the very top of the first three ranges and inside the fourth. Sitting at the top of a published range leaves no margin for glass, a warm adjacent space or frequent door openings, so confirm the choice with a licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor before ordering.

A 1,500 cubic foot cellar sits comfortably inside this band rather than at either edge, so every format here is a candidate and the decision moves to where the heat, the equipment and the noise are allowed to go. If the cellar shares a wall with a conditioned interior room, the TTW04B needs no ductwork at all. If the equipment has to live outside the cellar, the D025 runs on insulated ducts and the DS025 moves the condensing unit further out again. If nothing may be seen in the room, the CS050 Ceiling Mount hides above the finished ceiling.

The Pro DP25, DP25WC and SP25 are quote only and cannot be shortlisted for online checkout; they are requested through a price quote instead. The TTW04B trims, the D025, the D025WC, the DS025 and both CS050 versions are ordered directly. Which route applies changes nothing about sizing, only about how the order is placed.
