When it comes to preserving the quality and flavor of your wine collection, investing in a reliable wine refrigeration system is paramount. Two popular options in the market are ducted split systems and ductless systems. In this article, we will delve into the features, requirements, sizing, pricing, and the advantages of having professionals install and service these units.

A ducted split system is a wine refrigeration system that consists of two main components: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is typically installed in a separate room or space adjacent to the wine cellar, while the outdoor unit is located outside the building. These components are connected by refrigerant lines and ductwork.

Ducted split systems require proper ventilation and a ductwork system to distribute conditioned air into the wine cellar. The availability of space for ductwork and proper ventilation is crucial for the efficient operation of this system.

Ducted split systems are suitable for larger wine cellars or commercial applications. The sizing of these systems can range from 1.5 to 10 tons or more, depending on the size of the wine cellar and the cooling requirements. As for pricing, the average cost for a ducted split system can range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on various factors such as capacity, features, and installation requirements.

A ductless wine refrigeration system, also known as a split system or mini-split system, consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, similar to the ducted split system. However, ductless systems do not require ductwork to distribute conditioned air. Instead, they utilize a refrigerant line to connect the two units.

Ductless systems are highly versatile and can be installed in spaces where ductwork is impractical or unavailable. They are suitable for smaller wine cellars or residential applications. These systems require proper electrical connections and sufficient clearance for the indoor and outdoor units.

Ductless systems come in a range of sizes, typically measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units). For wine cellars, the average sizing of a ductless system can range from 6,000 to 24,000 BTUs, depending on the cellar size and cooling requirements. In terms of pricing, a ductless system can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the capacity and features.

Both ducted split and ductless systems require a minimum of two dedicated 115V electrical lines. These dedicated power lines ensure stable and efficient operation of the units, minimizing the risk of electrical overload.
