WhisperKool Ceiling Mount 4000 OMEGA 110V Wine Cellar Cooling System

Is the WhisperKool Ceiling Mount 4000 Right for Your Cellar?

The WhisperKool Ceiling Mount 4000 OMEGA 110V is designed for properly insulated and sealed wine cellars up to 1,000 cubic feet. It installs flush into the ceiling, preserving wall space while delivering stable temperature control and remote condenser flexibility.

This unit is best suited for residential wine cellars where:

• Wall space must remain dedicated to racking
• Ducting is not preferred
• Remote condenser placement is required (up to 100 ft line set)
• Quiet operation is important

This system requires professional HVAC-R installation, a dedicated 120V circuit, and proper vapor barrier construction to maintain 55°F cellar conditions.

Who This System Is For

✔ Finished residential wine cellars
✔ Cellars built with proper vapor barrier
✔ Projects where wall space must be preserved
✔ Basements with stable ambient conditions
✔ Installations requiring remote condenser placement

When This Unit Is NOT Recommended

✘ Uninsulated or partially insulated basements
✘ Glass-heavy wine walls without thermal break
✘ Rooms without sealed vapor barrier
✘ Condenser installations in unventilated 120°F+ attic spaces
✘ DIY installation without licensed HVAC-R technician

Improper installation can lead to condensation, mold, temperature instability, and voided warranty.

How Ceiling-Mounted Cooling Works

The evaporator installs flush within the ceiling of the wine cellar. Warm air rises naturally, allowing the system to:

• Draw warm air from ceiling level
• Distribute cooled air evenly downward
• Reduce hot spots and stratification

The condenser installs remotely — up to 100 feet away — in a mechanical room, garage, or properly ventilated location.

Cooling Capacity by Condenser Intake Temperature

Cooling output varies depending on the temperature of the air entering the condenser coil.

At 60°F Condenser Intake

• Medium Fan: 4,871 sensible / 5,430 total BTU
• High Fan: 5,324 sensible / 6,087 total BTU

At 75°F Condenser Intake

• Medium Fan: 4,752 sensible / 5,291 total BTU
• High Fan: 5,198 sensible / 5,914 total BTU

At 85°F Condenser Intake

• Medium Fan: 4,631 sensible / 5,147 total BTU
• High Fan: 4,945 sensible / 5,351 total BTU

Important: Cooling performance decreases as condenser intake temperature increases. Attic installations without ventilation will reduce real-world BTU output.

Noise Levels

• Evaporator (Medium): 48 dBA
• Evaporator (High): 53 dBA
• Condenser (Medium): 46 dBA
• Condenser (High): 52 dBA

This makes the system suitable for residential environments when properly installed.

Installation & Electrical Requirements

• 120V, 15-amp dedicated circuit required (evaporator)
• 120V dedicated circuit required (condenser)
• Licensed HVAC-R installation required
• Maximum 100 ft line set
• Line Set Size:
  • 1/4" OD liquid line
  • 1/2" OD suction line (<50 ft)
  • 5/8" OD suction line (>50 ft)
• Condenser must be installed in a ventilated space
• Ceiling cavity must allow proper clearance

Insulation & Vapor Barrier Requirements

To achieve rated performance:

• Minimum R-19 wall insulation
• Minimum R-30 ceiling insulation
• Fully sealed vapor barrier (6 mil polyethylene or equivalent)
• Airtight construction

Failure to properly insulate and seal the cellar can cause:

• Excess condensation
• Mold growth
• Excess runtime
• Temperature instability
• Warranty issues

Thermostat & Temperature Accuracy

The Ceiling Mount 4000 includes:

• Advanced digital display (50 ft cable)
• Liquid-temperature measuring bottle probe (50 ft cable)

The bottle probe measures liquid temperature rather than air temperature, preventing short cycling and maintaining more stable wine aging conditions.

Drain Line Requirements

• 1/4" ID clear plastic tubing (not included)
• Rigid drain tube recommended
• Gravity drain preferred
• Condensate pump may be required depending on installation

Proper drain slope is required to prevent water backup.

Dimensions & Physical Specifications

Evaporator: 35.75" L x 14.5" W x 12.75" H

Condenser: 23" L x 15.75" W x 15.3" H

Weight:

• Evaporator: 66 lbs
• Condenser: 75 lbs

• Warranty void if improperly installed

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Final Decision Summary

The WhisperKool Ceiling Mount 4000 OMEGA 110V is an excellent solution for:

• Properly built wine cellars up to 1,000 cu. ft.
• Projects requiring preserved wall space
• Installations where remote condenser placement is preferred

It is not a substitute for proper construction.
Correct insulation, vapor barrier, and professional installation are required for optimal performance.
