M&M Cellar Systems: Ready to Provide Efficient Wine Cellar Refrigeration Services
Wine Cellar Refrigeration Installation Project in Bel Air, Los Angeles, CA
The heart of any stable residential custom wine cellar or commercial wine display is its climate control system. Working with the wrong wine cellar refrigeration company will cause more serious problems and a significant expense in the future.
The climate control system is comprised of several key elements. These include components not always considered at first glance:
- The wine cellar door
- Insulation in the walls
- Vapor barrier in the walls
- Lighting
- And finally the wine cellar refrigeration system itself
Mario Morales, founder of M&M Cellar Systems, is Welding the Refrigeration Lines for the Wine Cellar Beverly Hills Project
Should any one of these elements be missing or incorrectly installed, horrible problems can ensue.
Remember wine is typically stored for very long periods. Over these long periods, poorly insulated wine rooms cause the cooling unit to run far too much. This over running, beyond the design specification, can result in premature breakdown.
Breakdowns like this will of course happen while you are away and in the hottest time of the year. This can ruin a wine collection, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.

What’s the Difference Between Residential and Commercial Wine Cellar Refrigeration?

There is no difference between wine cellar refrigeration for residential and commercial applications. The temperature is the main concern.
Since each cellar vary in location, our team has to determine the specific temperature range that we need to achieve for the wine room. To be able to do this, we need to know how the wine cellar will be constructed, what materials are going to be used, and the R-values of those materials. Doing so will help us determine the right equipment for a specific application during the installation.
One of our bigger projects that we completed was in a restaurant in the Fashion Island District in OC, Newport. We provided the wine cooling equipment for their wine cellar. As a standard procedure, we calculated the heat load before choosing the ideal type of cooling system for the wine room.
Effect of Using the Wrong Size Wine Refrigeration Unit

We don’t just install any size of cooling equipment. How do we determine the correct size of refrigeration system for a wine cellar? We ask the client whether the room is going to be a storage display type of wine cellar or a walk-in wine cellar.
Doing so helps us choose the correct size and capacity of the cooling unit, enough to allow for the extra run time that the system will be going through.

Is there a downside of over sizing the equipment? Yes. Typically, there will be high humidity in the wine cellar because an oversize equipment will not give us enough running time to cool the wine cellar. When it cools it down so fast, the humidity will be too high. Running into a situation like this can be detrimental to wine.
