What Is the Breezaire WKL 1060 Designed For?
The Breezaire WKL 1060 is a self-contained through-the-wall wine cellar cooling system designed for properly insulated wine cellars up to approximately 140 cubic feet.
It installs directly through the cellar wall and vents warm air out the rear of the unit into an adjacent room. It is engineered specifically to maintain stable wine storage temperatures between 50°F and 60°F.
This model is best suited for:
- Small residential wine cellars
- Closets converted into cellars
- Under-stair installations
- Compact, fully insulated wine rooms
Also available: Breezaire WKL 2200 (up to 265 cu. ft.), Breezaire WKL 3000 (up to 650 cu. ft.), Breezaire WKL 4000 (up to 1000 cu. ft.), Breezaire WKL 6000 (up to 1500 cu. ft.), Breezaire WKL 8000 (up to 2000 cu. ft.).

What Cellar Conditions Are Required?
The WKL 1060 is rated for cellars up to 140 cubic feet only when properly constructed.
Minimum construction standards:
- R-19 insulated walls
- R-30 insulated ceiling
- Sealed vapor barrier
- Insulated exterior-grade door
- Minimal glass exposure
If insulation is inadequate, cooling performance will decrease and the unit may run continuously.
How Through-the-Wall Installation Works
The WKL 1060 is a self-contained system.
- The front of the unit faces into the wine cellar.
- The rear of the unit exhausts warm air into an adjacent space.
The exhaust room must:
- Be larger than the cellar
- Remain below 85°F
- Have adequate ventilation
Failure to provide proper rear ventilation can cause overheating and premature system wear.
When to Choose the WKL 1060
Choose this model if:
- Your cellar is under 140 cubic feet
- You want a simple through-the-wall installation
- You have proper rear ventilation space
- You prefer a standard 115V electrical setup
- You are not installing near noise-sensitive rooms
When the WKL 1060 Is NOT the Right Choice
Do not choose this model if:
- Your cellar exceeds 140 cubic feet
- The cellar has large glass walls
- The exhaust area cannot stay cool
- You require ultra-quiet interior operation
- You need a remote condenser (split system)
In those cases, a larger or split-system unit is required.
Temperature & Humidity Performance
The WKL 1060 is engineered specifically for wine storage — not general air conditioning.
It:
- Maintains stable cellar temperatures between 50–60°F
- Automatically manages defrost cycles
- Helps maintain proper humidity levels in sealed cellars
It is not a standalone humidification system.
Humidity stability depends on cellar construction quality.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This model is simpler to install than split systems, but proper wall framing, rear ventilation, and electrical compliance are required. Improper installation can reduce performance and void warranty coverage.
The unit helps maintain appropriate humidity levels in properly sealed cellars. It does not actively add moisture. Poor sealing or frequent door opening will reduce humidity stability.
If the rear exhaust area exceeds recommended temperatures, the unit may overheat, short cycle, or lose cooling efficiency. Adequate ventilation behind the unit is critical.
The WKL 1060 is engineered to maintain cellar temperatures between 50°F and 60°F when properly sized and installed.
The WKL 1060 is rated for wine cellars up to 140 cubic feet when fully insulated and sealed. If your cellar exceeds this size or contains large glass panels, a higher-capacity model is required.
Because the compressor is inside the unit, the WKL 1060 produces moderate mechanical noise similar to a small air conditioning unit. It is not designed for silent installations. If noise is a concern, consider a split system."]
