The investment in a wine cellar is an excellent way to add a vintage collection to your home or to facilitate the needs of your patrons at a restaurant. In both commercial and residential projects, it is critical that you have ample support and a commercial preventative maintenance routine. If your wine cellar is not cooling, there are numerous potential reasons this could be happening, and Ambient Edge can help.
Troubleshooting Your Wine Cellar
At Ambient Edge, we work very closely with our clients to ensure they have a full understanding of what could be wrong with their wine cellar. That is critical since there are multiple potential concerns to focus on. The following are some of the most common causes of non-cooling wine cellars.
- The power supply is not providing a power source.
- The thermostat is not programmed or is not working the way it should.
- There is something nearby increasing the heat, such as an oven located next to it.
- There is some type of blockage that minimizes airflow through the ventilation system.
- There is no airflow due to compressor problems.
- The fan is broken, lodged with debris, or otherwise not working.
- The seal around the door is not closed well.
Each one of these problems can lead to numerous failures of the wine cellar to cool properly. Some are easy to fix, but all deserve immediate attention. Inefficient cooling could mean that your system is also costing you a lot of extra energy.
