D200 Ducted Wine Cellar Cooling Unit
The D200 is a self-contained, air-cooled fully ductable wine cellar cooling unit built to hold a wine room at 55°F to 58°F with a rated capacity of 8,000–15,680 BTU/h at 80°F ambient.
It is sized for large residential and commercial wine cellars and storage rooms holding roughly 1500 to 7000 cubic feet. Because the unit installs outside the wine room and connects through insulated ductwork, the cellar stays quiet and uncluttered, with every inch of space free for storage.
Every unit ships with a coated evaporator coil, a Wireless2Base remote interface controller, an aluminum chassis with UL-rated composite panels, and Wine Guardian fail-safe protection. As an authorized Wine Guardian dealer, we list the D200 with full manufacturer specifications so you can compare and size it correctly. Final sizing should be confirmed with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator and a qualified contractor.

Is the D200 Right for Your Cellar?
✓ Ideal For
- Large residential or commercial wine cellars, roughly 1500 to 7000 cubic feet
- High-capacity applications such as restaurants, wine bars, and storage facilities
- Projects where a high-output ducted unit is mounted outside the wine room
✕ Consider Another Model If
- Your cellar is well under 1500 cubic feet (a smaller ducted unit will be more efficient)
- Running ductwork is not possible (consider a ductless split system instead)
- Ventilation is severely limited (consider the water-cooled D200WC configuration)
Key Features
| Feature | What it means for your cellar |
|---|---|
| Self-contained ducted design | All components (evaporator, fans, compressor, condenser, controls) sit in one unit outside the cellar, so the wine room stays quiet and clutter-free. |
| Air-cooled heat rejection cooling | Vents heat to a separate space outside the cellar, keeping the wine room cool, quiet, and undisturbed. |
| Coated evaporator coil | Protects the evaporator side against corrosion for durable, reliable performance over long service life. |
| Wireless2Base remote interface controller | Monitors temperature and humidity continuously and corrects conditions before your wine is affected; place the controller in a kitchen, den, or elsewhere. |
| Precision control (±1°F / ±10% RH) | Holds wine-storage conditions of 55°F to 58°F, with an optional humidifier for 55% to 65% relative humidity. |
| Aluminum chassis with UL-rated composite panels | UL-rated composite panels are roughly five times stronger than before and resist dents and scratches during shipping and installation. |
| Field-serviceable, multi-panel access | Panels, duct collars, and grille remove with a couple of screwdriver turns, so service happens on-site without returning the unit to the factory. |
| Optional bundles and humidification | All Wine Temperatures, Extreme Climate Protection, and Ultimate bundles add heating, low/high ambient protection, and serving-temperature control as your space requires. |
Built-in protection: the system continuously checks conditions through remote air sensing and adjusts before temperature or humidity drift can affect the collection.
How Quiet Is It
Why a Ducted Unit Keeps the Cellar Quiet
Wine Guardian does not publish a single decibel rating for ducted units, because the most important noise factor is placement: the D200 installs outside the wine room and connects through insulated ductwork, so the compressor and fans are not in the space you occupy.
- The unit sits in a utility room, closet, or adjacent space, away from the cellar.
- Internal components are mounted on rubber-in-shear isolators to reduce vibration and noise.
- Flexible ductwork absorbs air noise, and sound drops further each time a duct run turns a corner.

Frequently Asked Questions
D200 Ducted Unit FAQs
How much cooling capacity does the D200 provide?
The D200 is rated at 8,000–15,680 BTU/h at an 80°F ambient condenser inlet, and is recommended for wine cellars of roughly 1500 to 7000 cubic feet. Net capacity changes with ambient temperature; the full table is in the specifications above. Final sizing should be confirmed with the Wine Guardian cooling calculator and a qualified contractor.
Does the D200 need a licensed contractor to install?
A self-contained ducted unit is installed by connecting the ductwork, making the drain connection, and plugging it in, with no copper line work, so a contractor or experienced handyperson can usually handle it. A licensed HVAC professional or qualified contractor should confirm the final installation design.
Can the D200 control humidity?
The unit controls temperature precisely and displays humidity. To actively raise humidity to 55% to 65% relative humidity, add an integrated or freestanding Wine Guardian humidifier, which connects to the system.
Where does the D200 get installed?
The D200 is designed to sit outside the wine cellar, in a utility room, closet, or adjacent space, and connect through insulated ductwork. This keeps the cellar quiet and leaves all interior space free for wine storage.
Is the D200 covered by a warranty?
Yes. Wine Guardian provides a standard warranty of 2 years parts, 1 year labor (standard). A Platinum warranty option extends coverage to Platinum option: 2 years parts and labor plus a 3-year extension on the compressor, evaporator coil, and condenser coil. Warranty service is handled through the manufacturer.
