What Noe Valley does
to a wine cellar cooling unit.

Noe Valley takes its name from José de Jesús Noé, the last Mexican alcalde of Yerba Buena, whose Rancho San Miguel once took in this ground.

Its streets are lined with the Victorian and Edwardian houses that San Francisco is known for, most of them put up around the start of the 20th century.

Building picked up pace in the years right after the 1906 earthquake, when the district filled in quickly.

In a typical year NOAA's downtown San Francisco station logs roughly 18 afternoons of 80 degrees F or warmer, and only about 3 that reach 90.

Older housing stock

Older houses with stone or brick basements make natural cellars that stay cool, but old masonry wicks moisture from the ground, so a cooling unit there often battles damp and mold more than heat, and the room's vapor barrier is checked first.

Closet and stair cellars

Every opening of a small cellar's door swaps a large share of its air, and a door without a sealed threshold lets the house's warmth in all day, so weatherstripping and a door sweep come before anything inside the unit.

Family houses

Family houses often put the cellar next to a laundry or a garage, and the unit's exhaust side collects lint and dust from those rooms, so cleaning the condenser coil every spring keeps it steady through the summer.
