Through-the-Wall Wine Cellar Cooling Unit for Enclosed Cellars Up to 265 cu. ft.

The Breezaire WKCE 2200 is a self-contained, through-the-wall wine cellar cooling unit designed for fully enclosed, insulated wine cellars up to 265 cubic feet.

It delivers 2200 BTU of cooling power and operates on a standard 115V outlet, making it a practical solution for residential wine rooms that do not require a split system.

This unit is designed for enclosed cellars only. It is not intended for open rooms, glass-heavy enclosures, or oversized spaces.

Also available in Breezaire WKCE 1060 offers reliable cooling for wine cabinets with precision climate control for optimal wine storage.

Is the WKCE 2200 Right for Your Cellar?

Choose This Unit If:

• Your cellar is 150–265 cu. ft.
• The room is fully insulated and vapor sealed
• You can provide rear ventilation
• You want a single-piece through-the-wall system
• You have access to a 115V / 60Hz outlet

Do NOT Choose This Unit If:

• The cellar exceeds 265 cu. ft.
• The room has excessive glass or poor insulation
• Exhaust air cannot be properly ventilated
• The cellar is located in a noise-sensitive living area
• You require a remote condenser (consider WKSL split systems)

Correct sizing and ventilation determine performance and longevity.

Unlike standard air conditioners, the WKCE 2200 is engineered specifically for wine storage. It is designed for stable, long-term operation in insulated environments.

Capacity Fit Guide

If your cellar includes heavy glass, high ambient heat, or marginal insulation, a cooling load calculation is recommended before purchase.

Installation Requirements

Installation Type: Through-the-Wall
System Type: Self-Contained
Exhaust Direction: Rear

The unit installs directly through an interior wall separating the cellar from a ventilated adjacent space.

Rear Ventilation Rules

The exhaust area must:

• Allow continuous airflow
• Prevent heat buildup
• Remain unsealed

Do NOT vent into:

• Sealed wall cavities
• Small enclosed closets
• Unventilated attics
• Exterior walls without protection

Improper ventilation can cause overheating and reduce system lifespan.

Noise Expectations

As a self-contained system, the WKCE 2200 produces sound similar to a quiet window air conditioner.

Suitable for:

• Basement wine rooms
• Dedicated enclosed cellars
• Utility-adjacent spaces

For primary living areas or display rooms requiring quieter operation, a split system (WKSL series) is recommended.

Electrical Requirements

• Voltage: 115V
• Frequency: 60 Hz
• Current Draw: 4 Amps

Operates from a standard household outlet. Always follow local electrical codes.
