PRO SERIES · Ducted Split System

Wine Guardian SP200 Pro Ducted Split for Cellars of 1,500 to 7,000 Cubic Feet

The Wine Guardian SP200 Pro ducted split is a two-piece wine cellar cooling system, a ductable fan coil plus a separate remote condensing unit, rated by Wine Guardian at 15,785 BTU/h total at 80°F condenser inlet air for cellars of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet.

The SP200 is the top of the Pro ducted split line, and what separates it from the SP88 below it is reach as much as capacity. Wine Guardian rates the SP200 for a total refrigerant line length of up to 150 feet, against 120 feet on the SP88, and its fan coil moves 759 CFM free blow against 482 CFM. That combination is what makes it the model specified for restaurant cellars, wine shops, storage rooms and large residential collections where the condensing unit has to end up a long way from the wine. A worked commercial wine room and the climate control it was given shows what that kind of space asks of the system.

Both sections need 208-230 volts, 1 phase, 60 Hz, so both circuits should be settled with a licensed electrician before anything is ordered. Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split brochure describes these systems as low-temperature air conditioning at 52°F to 70°F, and the Pro tier means 24 volt controls an external thermostat or a building management system can drive, service ports, pressure switches, a refrigerant sight glass and a composite multi-panel cabinet with integral captive quarter-turn fasteners. Wine Guardian manufactures the system and handles warranty and service; this store is an authorized Wine Guardian dealer, and the SP200 is configured and quoted rather than sold from a fixed online price. Final sizing, ductwork and electrical design should be confirmed by a licensed HVAC professional.

Watch How a Split System Works

A Wine Guardian split system keeps the compressor out of the wine room: the condensing unit rejects heat somewhere else while the fan coil ducts cooled air into the cellar.

  • Fan coil and condensing unit mount in separate locations
  • Condenser heat and compressor noise leave the wine room entirely
  • Total refrigerant line length up to 150 feet on the SP200
  • 24 volt control, so an external thermostat or building system can drive it

Fit Check

Is the Wine Guardian SP200 Pro Ducted Split Right for Your Cellar?

The SP200 is the right choice when the cellar sits in Wine Guardian's 1,500 to 7,000 cubic foot range, the condensing unit has to land somewhere within 150 feet of total line length, and 208-230 volt service can reach both the fan coil and the condensing unit. It is the only Pro ducted split rated past 4,500 cubic feet, so above that volume the decision is less about which model and more about how the duct and line runs will be routed.

✓ Ideal For

  • Cellars of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet, per Wine Guardian's own recommended volume
  • Restaurants, wine bars, wine shops and storage facilities running a commercial-scale wine room
  • Condenser locations that need real distance, up to 150 feet of total line length
  • Large or multi-zone cellars that need 759 CFM of ducted airflow rather than a single grille
  • Projects driven by an external thermostat or a building management system
  • Sites that can supply 208-230 volts, 1 phase, 60 Hz to both sections
  • Cold condenser locations, with Extreme Climate Protection added

✕ Consider Another Model If

  • The cellar is under 1,500 cubic feet, where the SP88 and the smaller Pro ducted splits are the rated answer
  • Only 115 volt service can reach the fan coil location, which rules the SP200 out
  • A self-contained ducted unit fits and can vent, which is a simpler single-box install
  • The condenser location genuinely sees 10°F, where Wine Guardian publishes no capacity figure for this model
  • Humidity control is required and no humidifier is being added

If cellar volume rather than configuration is the open question, start from the band: this store groups the SP200 with the other cooling units for cellars of 4,500 to 7,000 cubic feet, which is where most SP200 projects land.

Key Features

Wine Guardian Pro SP200 Key Features

The Wine Guardian Pro SP200 earns its Pro designation through reach, controls and serviceability rather than through capacity alone: 15,785 BTU/h at 80°F condenser inlet air arrives with a 150 foot line set allowance, 24 volt integration, pressure protection, a service sight glass and a cold-climate option.

Feature What it means for your cellar
Two-piece ducted split design The ductable fan coil and the remote condensing unit mount in different places and connect through refrigerant lines, so the system fits sites where a single-box unit has nowhere to exhaust its heat.
Largest capacity in the Pro ducted split line Wine Guardian rates the SP200 at 15,785 BTU/h total at 80°F condenser inlet air and gives it a recommended volume of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet, the widest band published for the Pro ducted splits.
150 foot maximum line length Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split manual gives the SP200 a maximum total refrigerant line length of 150 feet, against 120 feet on the SP88, so the condensing unit can sit on a roof, on the far side of a building or at the end of a long basement run.
759 CFM fan coil The SP200 fan coil moves 759 CFM free blow and 728 CFM at 0.35 in w.c., which is what lets a large or multi-room cellar be ducted rather than served from a single grille.
208-230 volt supply to both sections Both the fan coil and the condensing unit are rated 208-230 volts, 1 phase, 60 Hz. Plan both circuits with a licensed electrician before the cellar is framed.
Matched Wine Guardian condensing unit The condensing unit is engineered by Wine Guardian for this fan coil rather than paired in the field, which is the pairing the published capacity ladder is measured on.
24 volt control, thermostat by others Pro-series 24 volt electronics let the system be driven by an external thermostat or a building management system instead of a proprietary controller only, which is how most commercial installations want it.
Pro protection package Wine Guardian states that Pro units come installed with service ports, appropriate pressure switches and a refrigerant sight glass to allow for faster and more efficient maintenance.
Extreme Climate Protection option Wine Guardian describes this as unit protection in extreme climate conditions, on the condenser section only, required for continuous operation in climates that fall below 20°F, and enabling the system to operate in temperatures as low as minus 20°F.
Electric heat option Wine Guardian states on its SP200 product page that the heater protects wine cellars from dangerously low temperatures, with adjustable activation from 2 to 6°F below your setpoint. The manual adds that the electric heating option is factory installed with primary and secondary over-temperature protection devices per UL and NEC.
Optional humidification An optional Wine Guardian humidifier brings the cellar to 55% to 65% relative humidity. The SP200 does not control humidity without one.
Composite multi-panel cabinet Wine Guardian's composite multi-panel design with integral captive quarter-turn fasteners allows for ease of access and serviceability, so routine work happens on site.
R-134a refrigerant and digital controls Wine Guardian states that its ducted split systems use digital electronic controls and R-134a refrigerant.

Built-in protection: Wine Guardian's Pro series uses pressure switches and a refrigerant sight glass so an undercharged, overcharged or leaking system is caught in service rather than left cycling.

How Quiet Is It

How Quiet Is the SP200 in a Commercial Wine Room?

Wine Guardian publishes no decibel rating for its Pro ducted split systems, so no dB figure for the SP200 appears anywhere on this page. What the configuration does guarantee is that the compressor is not in the wine room: on the SP200 the compressor sits in the remote condensing unit, and only the fan coil is on the cellar side of the system. In a restaurant or tasting room, where the wine wall is often in the same space as guests, that separation is usually the whole reason a split is specified. Where a split system and a through-the-wall unit each send condenser heat sets out that trade-off in full.

Where the Noise Actually Goes

  • The condensing unit, which carries the compressor and a 150 watt condenser fan moving 875 CFM, installs away from the cellar and can be sited outdoors.
  • The fan coil mounts outside the wine room and connects through insulated ductwork, so the cellar hears duct air rather than machinery.
  • Flexible ductwork absorbs air noise, and each turn in the duct run takes a little more of it out.
  • Wine Guardian rates the SP200 fan coil at 759 CFM free blow and 728 CFM at 0.35 in w.c., so a large duct system can be designed rather than guessed at.

Published Capacity by Condenser Inlet Air Temperature

Net cooling capacity for the SP200 as printed by Wine Guardian on the Pro Ducted Split specifications sheet, under the heading "Performance (57°/55%RH)". The rows are reproduced in the manufacturer's printed order and have not been re-sorted; capacity on this line does not fall in a straight line as the condenser inlet air gets hotter, and the 10°F row is printed N/A for the SP200 rather than given a value. Wine Guardian footnotes the sheet: all btuh capacity and airflow (CFM) values shown are at tested 230v applied on 208/230v rated units, and where the field application allows 208v applied to the dual-rated units you can generally expect 2.5% to 3.0% decreases in the values shown.

Wine Guardian states on its ducted split category page that cooling capacity is rated at 80°F ambient, which is the row the 15,785 BTU/h headline comes from. Many variables affect proper unit sizing; confirm the final selection with a licensed HVAC professional.

Compatible Accessories

Compatible Accessories

Accessory availability and pricing are confirmed on each live product page. Wine Guardian gives the SP200 a minimum ductwork size of 10 in for a single duct run and 8 in for a double run. An integrated or freestanding Wine Guardian humidifier is the accessory that takes the cellar to 55% to 65% relative humidity; the SP200 does not control humidity without one.

Compare Across the Line

How the SP200 Compares With the Other Wine Guardian Pro Systems

Within the Pro line the SP200 is the largest of four wine cellar ducted split systems, and the only real question at this end of the range is whether the project needs the SP200 or the SP88 below it. That choice turns on cellar volume, how far the condensing unit has to sit from the fan coil, and how much air the duct system has to carry. The wider set sits in the Wine Guardian ducted split wine cellar cooling systems collection.

Decision factor SP88 Pro SP200 Pro
Recommended cellar volume, Wine Guardian 850 to 4,500 cu ft 1,500 to 7,000 cu ft
Total capacity at 80°F condenser inlet air 9,840 BTU/h 15,785 BTU/h
Maximum total refrigerant line length 120 ft 150 ft
Fan coil airflow, free blow 482 CFM 759 CFM

Best for / not ideal for: choose the SP200 if the cellar runs past 4,500 cubic feet, the condensing unit needs up to 150 feet of line length, or the duct system has to carry more air than a 482 CFM fan coil can supply. It is not ideal for a cellar comfortably inside the SP88's 850 to 4,500 cubic foot band, where the smaller unit is the rated and cheaper answer, nor for a site that can only bring 115 volt service to the fan coil, nor for a project that has room to vent a self-contained ducted unit and would rather install one box than two. Note also that Wine Guardian publishes no SP200 capacity at 10°F condenser inlet air, where the SP88 is rated 10,763 BTU/h, so a very cold condenser location is a question for Wine Guardian and a licensed HVAC professional rather than something this page can answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

SP200 Ducted Split Questions

Can a standard HVAC mini split cool a wine cellar instead of the SP200?
No. Comfort air conditioning and wine cellar refrigeration are different machines built for different temperatures, and contractors on HVAC forums make the point bluntly: a ductless comfort split is an air conditioner, while a wine room needs refrigeration. Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split brochure describes the Pro ducted systems as low-temperature air conditioning at 52°F to 70°F, which is the range a comfort unit is not designed to hold.
Who is qualified to install the SP200?
A licensed HVAC or refrigeration contractor. The SP200 is a two-piece system whose fan coil and condensing unit are joined by refrigerant lines that have to be routed, connected and charged on site, and Wine Guardian writes its Pro Ducted Split Installation and Operation Manual for a qualified contractor. Using one also keeps the manufacturer warranty intact.
How far from the wine cellar can the SP200 condensing unit sit?
Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split manual gives the SP200 a maximum total refrigerant line length of 150 feet, against 120 feet on the SP88 and 90 feet on the SP50. That is the longest reach in the Pro ducted split line and it is often the reason a project specifies the SP200. Confirm the routing with a licensed HVAC professional.
What does the Wine Guardian warranty cover on the SP200 compressor?
Wine Guardian's standard warranty is 25 months parts and 13 months labor. The Platinum warranty is 25 months parts and labor plus a 36 month parts-only extension on the compressor, evaporator coil and condenser coil. Warranty and service are handled by Wine Guardian rather than by this store.
Does the SP200 control humidity on its own?
Not on its own. Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split brochure states that an optional humidifier can be installed with the ability to achieve 55 to 65 percent relative humidity, and without that humidifier the SP200 controls temperature only. Cellars with corked bottles are the usual reason to add one.
What storage temperature range does Wine Guardian publish for the SP200?
52°F to 70°F. That range comes from Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split brochure, which covers the SP line. Wine Guardian publishes no serving-temperature package down to 45°F for the Pro ducted splits; that option belongs to other Wine Guardian products.
Why does Wine Guardian publish no SP200 cooling capacity at 10°F condenser inlet air?
Wine Guardian prints N/A in that cell of its Pro Ducted Split specifications sheet for the SP200, so no figure is shown here and none has been estimated. The published ladder for the SP200 starts at 40°F condenser inlet air. For a condenser location that genuinely sees 10°F, ask Wine Guardian and a licensed HVAC professional about Extreme Climate Protection.
What temperature and humidity control accuracy does Wine Guardian publish for the SP200?
None that can be used. Wine Guardian's Pro Ducted Split specifications sheet gives no usable per-model temperature or humidity accuracy figure for the SP200, and its controls block specifies 24 volt control with the thermostat by others, so accuracy depends on the controller supplied. No accuracy figure is published on this page for that reason.
How much cooling does the SP200 deliver and what cellar size does Wine Guardian recommend?
Wine Guardian rates the SP200 at 15,785 BTU/h total at 80°F condenser inlet air and gives a recommended volume of 1,500 to 7,000 cubic feet on its SP200 product page. Net capacity moves with condenser inlet air temperature and the full published ladder is in the specifications above. Confirm final sizing with a licensed HVAC professional.
