What Pacific Heights does
to a wine cellar cooling unit.

Nothing in the district is older than Leale House, put up on Pacific Avenue in 1853, while the bulk of the neighborhood followed the 1906 quake.

San Francisco's own history describes Pacific Heights as the place where wealthy residents built their homes in the wake of that 1906 disaster.

In the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, shaking in parts of San Francisco was rated intensity IX, the level the scale calls violent.

Real heat is rare here, too: the downtown San Francisco normals from NOAA show roughly 3 days a year reaching 90 and practically no frost.

Older housing stock

Preservation rules and thick old walls make a new vent to the outside hard to get in an older house, so its cellar often exhausts into a basement room or uses a split system with a discreet line set, and the repair works within that path.

Designed wine rooms

Designers often hide the cooling unit, ducting it from a mechanical room or setting it into the ceiling, and a repair on a hidden unit starts by finding an access panel that may have been painted or tiled over.

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.
