Wine Guardian CS025 Ceiling Mount Wine Cooling Unit

Wine Guardian CS025 Ceiling Mount Wine Cellar Cooling System

The Wine Guardian CS025 Ceiling Mount Cooling System is a compact split wine cellar cooling unit designed for small to mid-sized wine cellars up to approximately 1,200 cubic feet. Installed between ceiling joists and paired with a remote condensing unit, the CS025 provides quiet, discreet climate control while preserving the aesthetics of your wine cellar.

This system is ideal for glass wine walls, residential wine rooms, and luxury wine displays where visible cooling equipment would disrupt the design. By maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, the CS025 helps ensure optimal conditions for long-term wine storage and aging.

For larger cellar applications or expanded capacity, consider the CS050 Ceiling Mount Wine Cooling System, which delivers increased performance while maintaining the same compact, overhead design.

Quick Overview

• Cooling capacity: up to ~2,900 BTU/h
• Recommended cellar size: up to ~1,200 cubic feet*
• Installation type: ceiling-mounted split system
• Factory airflow: 140 CFM
• Control system: digital thermostat with humidity management
• Noise reduction: remote condenser installed outside the cellar

*Actual cooling capacity depends on insulation, vapor barrier installation, glass exposure, and ambient temperatures.

Who This Cooling System Is For

The Wine Guardian CS025 is best suited for:

• Small residential wine cellars
• Glass wine wall displays
• Wine rooms integrated into living areas
• Modern cellar designs where equipment must remain hidden
• Installations where wall space is unavailable

When This System May Not Be Ideal

The CS025 may not be suitable if:

• Your wine cellar exceeds 1,200 cubic feet
• Ceiling joists cannot accommodate the evaporator unit
• A fully ducted cooling system is required
• You prefer a self-contained through-the-wall system

For larger wine rooms, consider the Wine Guardian CS050 Ceiling Mount Cooling System, which provides increased cooling capacity using the same discreet ceiling-mounted design.

Key Features

Ceiling-Mounted Installation

The evaporator installs between standard ceiling joists, leaving only a small return grille visible in the cellar. This allows the cooling system to remain virtually invisible inside the wine room.

Remote Condensing Unit

Separating the condenser from the evaporator significantly reduces noise and vibration inside the cellar, making the CS025 ideal for living spaces and luxury residential installations.

Precise Temperature & Humidity Control

The CS025 maintains stable environmental conditions essential for proper wine aging and cork preservation.

Paintable Aluminum Grille

The grille can be painted to match the ceiling finish so the cooling system blends seamlessly with the cellar interior.

Wireless2Base™ Monitoring

Optional remote sensors allow users to monitor cellar conditions and system performance from multiple locations.

Extreme Climate Operation

With the Xtreme Low Ambient option, the condenser can operate in outdoor temperatures as low as -20°F, allowing reliable operation in colder climates.

Ideal Applications

The CS025 cooling system is commonly used in:

• Residential wine cellars
• Luxury home wine displays
• Glass wine walls
• Architectural wine rooms integrated into living spaces
• Compact wine storage rooms

Because the evaporator is hidden in the ceiling, the system helps maintain clean architectural lines and unobstructed cellar designs.

Installation Considerations

The Wine Guardian CS025 must be installed by a qualified HVAC-R technician. Proper cellar construction—including insulation, vapor barriers, and heat load calculations—is essential for optimal cooling performance.

Because every wine cellar is unique, a professional heat load calculation should always be performed before selecting a cooling unit.
