DUCTLESS SPLIT · Ceiling-Mounted
CS025 Ceiling-Mounted Ductless Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
The CS025 is a ceiling-mounted ductless split wine cellar cooling system, rated at 2,970 BTU/h and built to hold a wine room at 55°F to 58°F. It requires no ductwork.
The CS025 is designed to recess into a ceiling and fit between standard joist construction, with a paintable grille that blends into the room. That makes it ideal for wine displays with living space around them or all-glass wine rooms where wall space is limited and equipment must stay hidden.
Every system ships with a coated evaporator coil, a Wireless2Base remote interface controller, aluminum chassis with corrosion-resistant, commercial-grade components, and Wine Guardian fail-safe protection. With the optional serving-temperature control the system can cool as low as 45°F, and an optional humidifier reaches 55% to 65% relative humidity. As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer, we list the CS025 with full manufacturer specifications; installation requires a qualified contractor and final sizing should be confirmed with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator.

Is the CS025 Right for Your Cellar?
✓ Ideal For
- Wine displays or all-glass rooms where the unit must recess into the ceiling and stay hidden
- Cellars with no wall or floor space for a unit, fitting between standard joists
- Projects wanting a paintable grille that blends into the room
✕ Consider Another Model If
- Your ceiling cannot accommodate a recessed unit between joists
- You need more capacity than the ceiling line provides (move to a ducted split or self-contained unit)
Key Features
| Feature | What it means for your cellar |
|---|---|
| Ductless split design | Separate fan-coil and remote condenser install in different locations with no ductwork at all, fitting cellars where ducts are impossible. |
| Recessed ceiling design | Fits between standard joist construction and recesses into the ceiling, ideal for displays and all-glass rooms. |
| Paintable grille | The low-profile grille paints to match the room and contains integral supply and return sections for even air delivery. |
| Perfectly paired condenser | The condensing unit is engineered and manufactured by Wine Guardian to work specifically with the fan-coil for reliable matched performance. |
| Coated evaporator coil | Protects the evaporator side against corrosion for durable performance over a long service life. |
| Wireless2Base remote interface controller | Monitors temperature and humidity continuously and corrects conditions before your wine is affected; place it outside the wine space if preferred. |
| Precision control (±1°F / ±10% RH) | Holds 55°F to 58°F, with optional serving-temperature control down to 45°F and an optional humidifier for 55% to 65% relative humidity. |
| Low-ambient protection | Standard low-ambient protection keeps the system running in cold conditions; optional Xtreme low-ambient protects down to negative temperatures. |
| Field-serviceable, tool-free access | The grille and panels remove without tools for in-field service, so the unit does not return to the factory. |
Built-in protection: remote air sensing checks conditions continuously and adjusts before temperature or humidity drift can affect the collection.
How Quiet Is It
Why a Ductless Split Keeps the Cellar Quiet
Wine Guardian does not publish a single decibel rating for ductless split systems. The quiet comes from the split architecture: the noisy condenser installs separately, even outdoors, while only the fan-coil sits recessed in the ceiling, so no compressor runs inside the wine room.
- The condenser installs away from the cellar, removing its noise from the space.
- The fan-coil is a low-noise air handler with no compressor inside.
- No ductwork means no duct-borne mechanical noise to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions
CS025 Ductless Split FAQs
How much cooling capacity does the CS025 provide?
The CS025 is rated at 2,970 BTU/h. Net capacity changes with ambient temperature; the full table is in the specifications above. Because cellar sizing depends on insulation, glass, and use, confirm final sizing with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator and a qualified contractor.
What is a ductless split system?
A ductless split separates the evaporator (fan-coil) and the condenser into two units connected by refrigerant lines, with no ductwork at all. It is ideal for small cellars, displays, and wine walls where ducts cannot be run and space is limited.
Where does the CS025 install?
The CS025 recesses into a ceiling and fits between standard joist construction, with a paintable grille that blends into the room. It is designed for displays and all-glass wine rooms.
Does the CS025 need a licensed contractor to install?
Yes. A ductless split connects refrigerant lines between the fan-coil and condenser, so it must be installed by a licensed HVAC contractor. This also keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.
Is the CS025 covered by a warranty?
Yes. Wine Guardian provides a standard warranty of 2 years parts, 1 year labor (standard), with a Platinum option that Platinum option extends parts and labor to 2 years plus a 3-year extension on the compressor and coils. Warranty service is handled through the manufacturer.
